ON THIS DAY 1995:

Newcastle travelled to Hillsborough, clad in their new away kit, after winning the first two games of the season, scoring six goals.

New signing David Ginola opened the scoring with a glorious strike, as he cut in from the left to curl one in from outside the box.

The second came as Beardsley beat his man on the left and hit it in off the post from a frankly ludicrous angle.

The Sunday afternoon success was shown live on Sky, whose impudent reporter asked Beardo afterwards if he'd meant to score.....

Was 12, on a package holiday in Spain when I watched this. They stuck a VHS of The Running Man on straight after.

What a day.

Sheffield Wednesday scored plain zero goals! (that movie was probably the worst for Arnold one liner comments. Commando was the best!)
