Atlantic came in either very small boxes with just a couple of sprues, maybe 20-24 figures, or big, flat A4-size boxes with tons of sprues in and a gatefold cover like a double album.

Surely you mean '93? Sheff Wed. lost 2-1 in a replay for the FA Cup and 2-1 in the League Cup. I split up with my girlfriend because she didn't understand why i'd rather go to the replay than hang out with her :)
