#6 ‘Feed the Goat’ cheered the City fans (2002)
Trending
In November 2002, Manchester City was playing their last derby at the Maine Road stadium since they were about to move base to the City of Manchester Stadium (currently named Etihad Stadium) in 2003 and Shaun Goater made it one to remember for the City faithful.
Nicolas Anelka, scored the first goal of the game after a fumbling mistake by United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez. Even though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was quick to equalise, the Red Devils failed to capitalise.
The two Neville brothers were largely responsible for a brilliant brace scored by Shaun Goater that night. For his first, it was Gary Neville’s careless pass that gave Goater the first goal and a loss of possession from Phil Neville set Goater up for his second of the night and 100th for Manchester City.
In their final game at Maine Road, City won 3-1 and the chant “Feed the Goat and he will score” rang through the stadium.
