19/03/94 v West Ham (a) 4-2 Premiership

Andy Cole scored one in this game with his right boot that was almost at head height.

"Andy used to hate heading the ball when he was at Newcastle, although he actually got some good goals with his head. Even when you played the ball up to him, he would hate heading it but he was that flexible that he could almost get his boot just as high. That's something they have obviously worked on at Man United and he seems pretty decent in the air now. I think Alex Mathie also got a late goal after coming on as sub. Alex was a nice lad but was always just on the fringe of the first team. One thing about Alex, though, like Steve Howey, was that he was always fairly easily led which was why he got into trouble in Bournemouth. He was in tears about that. Alex was never a great drinker either. He'd try and keep up with the lads who could take their ale but would often end up being put in a taxi home at about nine. Not exactly the typical heavy-drinking Scotsman...."
