A long time ago Alty played Crewe in the first round of the FA Cup. The game was rescheduled because Neil Lennon was playing for N.Ireland on the original date, so it got played on a Tuesday night.
Crewe eventually won 1-0 to a Dele Adebole second half goal.
I recall the Crewe midfield being run by a blonde haired player with a very trendy hairstyle. I asked the guy next to me if I could look at his programme to check the player's name. My memory tells me it said No.8 Robbie Savage.
A few years ago the game was getting discussed on here and I mentioned this. I was told that wasn't Robbie Savage, it was another player who's name now I can't remember.
So last night I had the golden opportunity to ask the man himself when I found myself sitting in front of him in the Family Stand. "Robbie, did you play here for Crewe in the FA CUP?" "No, that wouldn't have been me he said".
So there we are. But a) who was it? b) why did I think it was Robbie Savage? Does anyone have the programme and/or the team sheet from that night to help me prove I'm half right, and he was at least listed in the programme if not actually on the pitch?
