Twenty years ago today, a missed penalty and a tragedy

Twenty years ago today, the 17th November 1993, I went to a game in Cardiff that I will never forget:

Two things happened. In time order, first Billy Bodin's dad Paul missed a penalty that would have taken Wales to the World Cup finals. Second, a terrible tragedy happened when an idiot fired a flare across the Arms Park and killed a poor man sitting ten seats away from me. I will never forget that game, I still shiver at what happened. Sadly the idiot wasn't charged with murder, which he clearly committed.
