Today (22 January) is a reminder of one of those days when a former player who has recently signed for another club faces your team and scores the only goal. Which game am I talking about? This was the Manchester City match at Sheffield United on this day in 2000. Anyone remember who the player was?
It was Michael Brown who in January 2000 signed for Sheffield United and then, sure enough, he has to face City within a short period following his move and he nets the only goal of the match. Ah well! We can remember it now without getting too worked up but these things do have a tendency to occur more frequently than they ought to – or at least it feels that way!
This match report remembers that day.
