25 YEARS AGO
FULHAM'S former England skipper, Bobby Moore, was sent off in extraordinary scenes at the end of "normal" time in last night's League Cup third round replay against Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Park.
The game was five minutes into injury time when Bolton's Mike Walsh levelled the scores at 2-2.
Fulham protested at the time added on, but the game continued for three more minutes. When referee Kevin McNally signalled the end, with a period of extra time to follow, Fulham again protested, and Moore was sent off. The Fulham players then left the field and remained in their dressing room for several minutes before re-appearing after an ultimatum by the referee.
There were no further goals in the half-hour of extra time.
