Shaun Goater scores the crucial goal City need to beat Wigan Athletic in the 1998/99 Division Two play-off semi-final second leg. City survive an early penalty claim against Gerard Wiekens and take the lead when Michael Brown’s cross from the right flank is turned in by Goater - though the Wigan players vehemently claim it was turned in by his hand. TV replays suggest it was turned in by the Bermudian’s stomach/hip - but definitely not his hand - and City go on to win 1-0 and 2-1 on aggregate.
