It was definitely just for him. He was subbed off towards the end of the game. I joined in with the applause and doubt I'll ever do that again. He was awesome that day *Don’t remember it just being for Merson although most people did applaud Portsmouth at the end of the game but I can also recall some of our fans being unhappy about it and it nearly coming to blows

I think that was QPR. Very funny and fully deserved!!Didn’t saggy chops get a ball in the face when it returned from the crowd?
Didn't Gazza get similar when Spurs done us for five?Don’t remember it just being for Merson although most people did applaud Portsmouth at the end of the game but I can also recall some of our fans being unhappy about it and it nearly coming to blows
I remember he was getting stick at White Hart Lane, you fat c*** etc. Then he shoved the ball up his shirt, brilliant.Didn't Gazza get similar when Spurs done us for five?
He then marked out the goal with his hands and stuck it in our top corner, shut 7500 of us up. Unbelievable moment, just to be there and I was giving it as big as anyone. ..,I remember he was getting stick at White Hart Lane, you fat c*** etc. Then he shoved the ball up his shirt, brilliant.
Yes, was at that game as wellDidn't Gazza get similar when Spurs done us for five?
Was at their place when he put the ball up his shirt, same game as when he scored the free kick when no one was ready and the whistle hadn't gone.I was at that game and remember being fucking outrage as it was the first time I had ever seen a player take the free kick before the whistle went
Yeah it was a quality shot but 30 odd years later it still gives me the hump
I am sure it was at the Den when we were shouting you fat cunt that Gazza put the ball up his shirt
He was quality though and just loved to play never rolled around on the ground when he got fouled which was all the time as well
