I was at the Scarborough ground that day having driven up that morning from Oxfordshire.

[@martyn7988]

Still the most unexpected, most unbelievable moment in football history for me. Absolute scenes when that went in. I'll never forget my dad finding me on the terrace when the ball hit the net and saying 'it was Jimmy Glass' I've told the story about a million times and will never stop haha

[@RW-nr6bh]

It was certainly unexpected, as a neutral who happened to be at Scarborough that day I can well remember the shock and disbelief rippling out from people who had radios or get calls or texts with the Carlisle score (no internet smartphones back then). In terms of shock factor; everyone in the box and it happens to fall to the keeper, yes it's a surprise but I think sometimes it gets a bit blown out of proportion. Nobody would have been terribly surprised at the start of day to see Carlisle win and Scarborough draw. It was memorable though for how it happened. It's not really up there with Denmark winning the European Championship in 1992 after failing to qualify in terms of shock value, or even Newport County's great escape that sent Hartlepool down.

[@martyn7988]

@RW-nr6bh that's the point though. It's the "how it happened" that made it one of the greatest moments in footballing history and why it's still spoken about 25 years later. There's great escapes every season, but there's never been another one where an on loan goalkeeper who only ever made 3 appearances for the club scored with the final kick of the entire season

I always thought the signing of Jimmy Glass was allowed because of injury, I never realised they'd actually sold their only keeper. Very controversial given the impact it had on Scarborough who never returned to the football League and were liquidated in 2007.

[@FanofAslan]

Agreed! I was unhappy at the breach of the rules when it happened; I was gutted/seething when he scored the decisive goal. A real "sliding doors" moment. I have nothing against Jimmy Glass personally; I read a newspaper article about him & he came across really well; very down-to-earth. But I still feel that Carlisle Utd got away with a big one there, and I have held the Football League in lower esteem ever since.

[@craigflebu-swainson5195]

[@FanofAslan]

@@craigflebu-swainson5195 Oh, thank you for this. If, as you say, the rule for emergency loanees was in place at the start of the season, then I have to agree that no rules were breached. I suspect that rule was put in place to help cash-strapped lower league clubs, who could then afford to sell their permanent players and offload the wages, and then bring in a quick fix if needed. I don't like it, but in hard times I understand its need. My own opinion is that clubs should have to field an outfield player in goal if caught short. According to The Totally Football Show podcast I listen to, Independiente in Argentina have just done this in a recent game!

[@craigflebu-swainson5195]

@@FanofAslan Rule was agreed by all the football league teams at the time of it being created. Scarborough and Hartlepool tried to complain but the higher ups in their club had agreed to the rule. It was put in place as it was deemed by whoever came up with the idea that goalkeeper is a specialist position and under the circumstances of a team recalling their loan player back and the back up keeper being injured it was approved that an emergency loan could be made for the position of goalkeeper as agreed in the rule. Couldn't be any clearer really. Whether that rule still exists, I don't know as it is over 20 years ago. Also over countries will likely have different rules.

To be fair, it was problems with their ground that really killed Scarborough; they'd probably have gone bust sooner or later no matter what division they were in. Plus they were owned at the time by someone who nearly ended up killing Exeter City a few years later, so if they hadn't been relegated, he might well have stayed at Scarborough and bought about their demise even quicker.

[@breachtones]

Our chairman was a total fraud and Anton Johnson had plunged us well into debt anyways. As much as I hate to say it, we probably would've gone bust regardless in the years that followed.

I was at that game (the Derby County 0 Coventry City 0 game, that is)!!

[@jamesdouthwaite4997]

I was born in Scarborough but grew up round York. This is all just too painful for me...

[@VirtualJames7]

Its unbelievable how young Jeff looks!

[@imnottellingyoumyname3050]

Maybe it's just me but the concept of a man looking 25 years younger in footage taken 25 years ago is somewhat believable

[@sirkjohno0129]

I'm just here to remember a time when both York City and Scarborough were in the Football League

[@SRW29]

What a classic this is

[@gonnaw1n]

No one mentioning the fact of how many teams who have played in the prem are in the old Div2 and old Div3 here....Amazing to see where clubs have come from.

[@Real_krafty]

Unbelievable jeff

[@LudicrouslyLiam]

0:54 "no wey" haha

[@markfrankman2647]

Jeez is that unbelievable scenes Jeff Stelling?

[@damianhallsworth2092]

A great example of why to never celebrate before the whistle is blown.

[@CrazyInWeston]

Another example is when Man Utd fans cheered thinking they had won the Premier league back in 2012 as QPR were beating Man City 2-1. But in extra time of that match, Man City scored 2 goals meaning that Man City won the league.

I wish we had something as cool as relegation in American sports, too awesome.

[@stephendines1936]

Unbelievable Jeff

[@RussellRustle]

Man City V York in Division 2. how times have changed!

[@Chalks38]

I was on the pitch at Scarborough 😢😢

[@aaronhurst4379]

Damn, must've been beyond horrible for you guys back then, let alone what would happen after :-(

[@dylancorcoran8801]

It must truley be the most sickening thing ever those as a fan or player of Scarborough to be relagated to the non league by a goalkeeper who only ever played 3 games for a club to score with the last kick of the season. Truley incredible

[@dylancorcoran8801]

Some of the best writers in Hollywood couldn't write the drama that would transpond on this day. A goalkeeper scoring with the last kick of the season to save a club and save lots of ppls job. People would say ye in a fairytale world but it wud never acc happen

[@miloadhami6954]

Imagine the scenes if VAR ruled it out

[@nils89]

Love seeing some of the old score lines... division 2 Man City 4 York 0!

[@bobbyboy6397]

Omg 20 years ago. Seems like yesterday

[@searchterminatorseed2301]

Much better than now
