It was the ZDS Cup we won during it's brief inception. We had a very good team with a couple of exceptional players which raised the level of everybody else I remember.
Should have played in Europe the following year but EUFA banned English clubs for 5 years. That's why the Liverpool result was so sweet.

It was all right but nothing like fighting for promotion/avoiding relegation in the championship with good ol' down to earth football people that you can meet up with in pub beforehand, lovely! The admins, they're just fantastic.

All of the above is sarcasm.

I'm another who was too young to remember this period of our history. How did we go from third to relegated? Has any club in history gone from such a high finishing position to relegation in just two seasons?

Could be wrong here, but I think it was the other way around - when we played Everton at Selhurst shortly afterwards Keown got his revenge on the Ninja, who was then out for quite a while with a knee injury.
But yes, a great day out.
I remember everyone strolling around on the pitch after we beat Man U on the last day. They were playing a weakened side as they were going to the Cup Winners Cup final or something the next week - the competition we should have been in!

Top memory was going to Wimbledon away when they still had their crappy ground at Plough Lane. We won 3-0 and Wrighty scored a hat-trick including an outrageous lob from near the halfway line. Funnily that game stands out more for me than the 3-0 victory over a Man Utd team with lots of reserves a week later. They were the last two matches of a great season.

I also remember a 0-0 home draw with Arsenal. Salako scored with a stunning volley that was wrongly ruled out for offside. I was in the Arfur right in line with play and I knew the lino's offside call was wrong. The sense of injustice lingered for a long time.

The right place at the right time

Ya we live closeabouts, always like to meet up with him when he's out.
