Any experts on 1992-93 season?

The Independent Archive helped a lot, found 4 more unknowns. Down to five.

93/94 who was fouled for Giggs' free kick? ---- Robson
94/95 and for Irwin's? ---- ?
95/96 who flicks the ball to Cole? ---- Pallister
96/97 who was fouled for Beckham's free kick against Southampton in 3-6 loss? ---- ?
98/99 who was fouled for Beckham's free kick v Leicester on 15th August 1998 (2-2) ---- Beckham himself
98/99 same as above v Barcelona on 16th September 1998 (3-3) ---- Yorke
98/99 again Beckham with free kick, who was fouled this time against Brondby on 4th November 1998 (5-0 win) ---- Cole
98/99 who was fouled for Beckham's free kick v Everton on March 19th 1999 (3-1 win) ---- Johnsen
98/99 There's also one more Beckham's free kick that I cannot yet find online, it was on 1st May 1999 v Aston Villa, we won 2-1. Anyone with memory on who was fouled then? ---- ?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

94/95 who was fouled for Irwin's free kick?
96/97 who was fouled for Beckham's free kick against Southampton in 3-6 loss?
98/99 same as above but against Aston Villa on 1st May 1999 in 2-1 win?
99/00 who was fouled for Beckham's freekick against Croatia Zagreb?
99/00 same as above against Southampton on 22nd April 2000?

Daily Mail and Telegraph do not really have sport articles archives, and other suggestions on sites I could try?
 
Guardian is awesome, has match reports from 1998 onwards online, so managed to find a lot.

94/95 who was fouled for Irwin's free kick?
96/97 who was fouled for Beckham's free kick against Southampton in 3-6 loss?
98/99 same as above but against Aston Villa on 1st May 1999 in 2-1 win? Yorke
99/00 who was fouled for Beckham's freekick against Croatia Zagreb? Scholes
99/00 same as above against Southampton on 22nd April 2000? Cole

Guardian was of use in the following three seasons as well, BBC too, but not even them could've helped on one situation (click on year for video)...

01/02 again Beckham's free kick, who was fouled? Vs Southampton, 3-1 on 13th January 2002.
 
For the period of 2002-03 to 2007-08 I need help in identifying only two situations. Two well known free-kicks actually.

04/05 28th September 2004 v Fenerbahçe (champions league), who was fouled for Rooney's free kick (his third goal of the night)?



-- from 1:27

06/07 20th February 2007 v Lille (champions league), who was fouled for Giggs cheeky and quickly taken free kick?



-- from around 1:10
 
Can anyone help me identify player with the header for the first goal (McClair's rebound), and who delivered the corner kick for Bruce's awesome header? That's season 1988-89.

Not altogether helpful, but something. The only thing I can say is that when the ball goes out for the corner our number 8 runs off as though to take it. However he seems to join the goal celebrations a shade too quick to have run from the corner flag?

Trouble is, I don't recognise the player...
 
It is helpful, thanks.

This was the line-up at the time. Yeah, I believe Beardsmore couldn't make it back that fast, and anyway Duxbury in the bottom heads towards presumably corner taker. Think those striken through couldn't be takers. Donaghy and Martin, really doubt them, haven't seen them yet taking corners, so, it's between Sharpe and Blackmore in my opinion.

1 Leighton
2 Duxbury
3 Sharpe
4 Bruce
5 Blackmore
6 Donaghy
7 Milne
8 Beardsmore
9 McClair
10 Hughes
11 Martin

I think I see Sharpe joining celebrations as well, moments after that Milne as well, so it has to be Blackmore, right? Right? ;)


Just finished watching last season I'm doing, 1987-88, first real Fergie's season. Missing players fouled for three McClair's penalties, and for one Colin Gibson's free kick. Video goes directly to penalty/free kicks. :x
 
Found the video of 1987-88 penalties...



1:18 Tottenham (league)
2:18 Crystal Palace (league cup)
7:50 Wimbledon (league)

Long shot probably, but maybe someone will remember who was fouled for those. And if they do, maybe they'll remember the same for Colin Gibson's free kick against West Ham United!


What's left...

87/88 1:18 Tottenham, 2:18 Crystal Palace, 7:50 Wimbledon, who was fouled for those penalties?
87/88 who was fouled for Colin Gibson's free kick? (no video yet)
88/89 header before McClair's rebound? corner taker for Bruce's header?
94/95 who was fouled for Irwin's free kick?
96/97 who was fouled for Beckham's free kick against Southampton in 3-6 loss?
01/02 again Beckham's free kick, who was fouled? Vs Southampton, 3-1 on 13th January 2002

EDIT: Thanks to @SEALEY IS GOD from the newbies, identified Robson as a player with header before McClair's rebound.

EDIT#2: Actually, Season Review 1988-89 shows us it was McGrath with that header.
