Is my memory playing tricks on me or did Cyrille play for Wycombe Wanderers in the twilight of his career? Seem to remember him playing for them against us at Home Park in about March/April 1995, as we unsuccessfully battled (well, at least one or two players....) against relegation. Seem to remember a 2-2 draw.
Found out the answer to my own question. It was 15 October 1994 (thanks Greens on Screen) and not only did Cyrille Regis play, but he scored twice! I think I watched that one from the Mayflower terrace and, regrettably, I recall Regis receiving a lot of racist abuse as he walked down the tunnel. Typically of the man, he smiled back as if to say "Heard it all before, mate, and you won't get to me that way".
