    On this day in 1993, with new Player Manager Viv Anderson and Player/Coach Danny Wilson, the Reds won 2-0 at Watford, giving them the first victory under their management.

    Watford had a certain teenager playing one of his first handful of games for them - Bruce Dyer. He was uncharacteristically sent off - for the first and only time during his career. How ironic it was against the Reds.

    Later that season Bruce would be sold to Crystal Palace, becoming the first £1m teenager in British football. And of course he later joined the Reds from Palace in 1998.

    I remember not being keen on our new kit changes that season, making the collar black for the first ever time.
    It was very much like a ManUre rip off kit.
