Match 35
7th February 1987
Crewe Alexandra (home )
SATURDAY, 7th FEBRUARY
Manchester Evening News Pink Final
CREWE UNDER PRESSURE
Crewe had to soak up heavy pressure for the opening spell of their match at promotion chasing Exeter City, who were protecting a 14 match unbeaten home record in the League. Crewe's defence worked hard to contain a lively Exeter attack that was full of ideas and running. Against the run of play however, Crewe could have taken the lead. Geoff Thomas had a shot parried by City keeper John Shaw, but Gary Blissett put the rebound against the bar.
Crewe enjoyed their most productive period early in the second half. Blissett put a free header straight at Shaw, after earlier draggaing his shot wide of the target. But Exeter bounced back to take a 57th minute lead through 17 year old Mark Robson. Tony Kellow flicked on a right wing cross and Robson stole in to beat Crewe goalkeeper Brian Parkin from 10 yards.
