KNOW YOUR HISTORY
The first time that the Wanderers met City was during Wycombe's first ever
Division Two campaign. City had just been relegated from Division One but they were
in for another shock when a Cyrille Regis goal was enough for a 1-0 victory for Martin
O'Neill's side.
By the time City travelled to Adams Park for the return fixture they were
promotion bound and gained revenge with a 3-0 victory but we don't talk about
that. |
