Sometimes words come back to haunt you. In the wake of Ipswich Town losing 9-0 to Manchester United, Alan Shearer had this to say:
'There are no easy games...except maybe Ipswich at home.'
Ipswich fans did not forget that.
Blackburn had been on a good run as Champions with six successful defences. One of those was a 0-0 draw at Portman Road in the FA Cup. Ipswich had a second bite of the cherry at Ewood Park in the replay.
Expectation was that the Champions would brush aside the Division One side but the Tractor Boys had other ideas. Paul Mason scored deep into extra-time for the big upset win.
Two-time champions Ipswich showed they weren't so easy after all.
