Well I was there too and the roofing sheer landed on the pitch and narrowly missed Gary Mercer by no more than a few feet. In fact he has even referred to said incident in print. I actually wrote about the incident as soon as I got home and still have the report now.
Quite right DD. 'Ming' as he was known then (Mercer) actually asked me had I got the incident on film afterwards in the dressing room. I think the potential seriousness of the incident had sunk in by then. Lucky escape me thinks. It may have landed close to Fossy as well, as back then Mercer was probably playing in the centres before switching to the second row. See somone doesnt agree with us, but not to worry, no one was actually injured and thats the main thing I suppose
Jees was it in 1990, knew it was some time back but didnt realise it was that long ago, time flies doesnt it, (like KR roof panels !!)
