Match No. 695 - Saturday, 29th May 1993, 8:30pm

  • "Walker's poor pass put Barnes under pressure and after Lesniak had made an interception Adamczuk took the ball on. As Walker turned to challenge..., Woods came off his goalline and was stranded by a lob which could have come off attacker or defender and was probably a combination of both." Dariusz Adamczuk, 35'34:40
