Up the Maggies footnote:
A bullet header from Justin Fashanu at the Kop end in the 2nd half was worthy of winning any match, it was probably Fashanu's best ever moment at Meadow Lane - a real pity that no TV/video camera was there to capture it. I also have a memory of an Arsenal defender committing a blatant professional foul as a Notts striker broke clear, but the ref failed to send him off. A very satisfying win (Notts had also beaten the Gunners at Meadow Lane the previous season).
