That double substitution on 55 minutes Gally/Clare for Kingsley and Livvo. Totally changed the momentum of that game in our favour. Tactical genius. We caused them so many problems that 2nd half

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Brian Clough said that it only takes a second to score a goal.  Wayne proved that and what a very special one second!


As did the man he once signed for £1.5 million, Mr Kingsley Black.

One of my favourite players of that era.

Quoted from Cloudy
Strangely my abiding memory was not Wayne Burnett golden goal but the moment the teams walked out.

I never, ever thought my beloved team would walk out at Wembley, it was then the reserve of the big clubs, tears rolled down my cheeks


What Cloudy said........

I think lots of us had that re-action. I remember turning up not that long before kick-off to be confronted by 20-odd thousand Town fans around the curved end of the old Wembley. Talk about lump in the throat. NEVER thought I would see that.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yes, probably my greatest Town memory, along with the night we beat Exeter 3-0 to win the 4th Division championship in front of a zillion town fans! Or so it seemed to a this young lad at the time! I wish there was footage of that night.

Must say the Arnold goal in the playoff final comes close though, because of what it meant in terms of a return to the league..

Same feelings along with Jevon`s goal at Liverpool and Wilko`s at Everton, Burnett`s because of what was then a seemed impossibility of us ever appearing at the old Wembley, and Jevon and Wilko because we were beating two teams on their own patches in a David v Goliath contest

Yes ! Jevons, Wilkos' Dobbins and Burnett's - I was there to see them all.

And some pillock has the cheek  to say we've been spoilt. I've been watching for over
seventy years and for those four seconds I've been spoilt.

What does he know ?

So you've seen us play at the top level then. Wow! You have been spoiled
