For me the best team I've seen Town play at Blundell Park is West Ham (1981) they totally dominated play and they where class, I was stood in the pontoon (right behind the goal) for the game.

I think West Ham won the FA cup the year before if I remember correctly??


The Hammers were good that year but a couple of years later we were demolished 4.0 at home by a brilliant Fulham side

I would have said Blackburn Rovers in our late Div 1 days.

Seem to remember them beating us 4-1? They were magnificent, completely played us off the park.


Wasn't Souness managing them for that season?

Think it was 2-0 against Fulham though  


It was, and if I remember correctly Alan Taylor scored both goals

That was a fantastic performance. Think it was when Malcolm McDonald was manager.

This. Malcolm McDonald in charge and the brilliant Gordon Davies running the show, and against a very good Town team it has to be said. Never been so in awe of the pass and move game as that day, we were literally chasing shadows.

Yep, that Fulham performance is right up there with the best from an away team. They also had a young Ray Houghton in midfield if i remember rightly.

Think they repeated it in the return fixture.

They did. They beat us 4-0 both home and away that season.

I'm struggling to think of any better teams I've seen at BP than those West Ham and Fulham teams.

Yeah he was. Hughes played for them whilst managing Wales at the same time (Danny Coyne picked that night to make pretty much his only mistake of the season)
