Chris Chilton scored first after 11 minutes, and the crowd went bonkers.

Fans normally love it when the floodlights come on, but this time it was bad news because that's when, unfortunately, Dennis Law equalised.

We should have won the game.

Ian Butler, one of our great players, blasted it over the bar.

Well, as extra time drained away, we realised that we may be able to go into a penalty shootout.

We were going to witness something that had never happened before.

A football match was going to be decided by penalties.

Today we're familiar with the rules and rituals of a shootout, but for these players and fans it was the first time and no one knew what to expect.

Terry Neal obviously asked for volunteers.

Neal being Hull's new player manager.

And some of the lads were reluctant to step up and take the penalties and some were brave enough to step up and say, yeah, I'll take one, I'll take one and I'll take one.

Nobody wants to be the one that misses.

The first penalty taker for Manchester United was George Best.

Blimey, I thought.

It's George Best, one of the greatest players ever, who's going to take the first penalty in the world's first penalty shootout.

Naturally enough, George Best stood up, took the penalty, scored.

Next, Terry Neal.

He walked from the centre circle into the 18-yard box, scored.

Remember, I was only 11 at the time and each kick was agony.

Then Bobby Charlton and Brian Kidd scored for United and Ian Butler and Ken Houghton for Hull.
