Best two occasions of my 50+ years of supporting town, even today when I hear Tina Turners “Simply the best” my mind goes back to Wembley.

For me it was hearing Queen and ‘We are the champions’ UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

It's Status Quo and "Rockin' all over the world" that sticks in the memory for me. Funny, 'cos I can't even remember what I had for lunch.

I got the Auto Windscreens result on the phone in a Florida shopping mall from my father in law at about 9.30 in the morning US time. My one man celebrations caused some bemusement among the small number of Yanks out shopping that early.

I was at Wembley for the play off final.

Don’t think rounding 28500 up to 30000 for Bournemouth game is to much of a crime . Yes we took a about 20k to playoff final and where outnumbered 2 to 1.


Did I say it was a crime 🤷🏼‍♂️ just interested in the correct figures if anyone knows

Went to the "Auto Windscreens Sheild" final, who can forget Wayne Burnett's golden goal.

Eddie Howe has done well for himself hasn't he.

Didn't get to the play-off final, previously planned trip for the kids to Legoland Windsor, I could nearly hear the Town fans rejoicing  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

2 of the best days ever supporting Town, but as has been said, the Bournemouth game was far more an enjoyable experience than the Northampton game, even though the prize for that win was far, far more important. When the 4th official held up 6 minutes of stoppage time, it seemed more like 6 hours. Just a shame we missed that late penalty, which would have made the last few minutes far more comfortable.

Watched the Bournemouth game @ the Bradley Inn as couldn't make it and it was very enjoyable in there. Made the play-off final with my brother and Uncle, both now gone, so this gives rather special memories for me now.










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Wasn’t the bulk of it for the lengthy stoppage after Aidan Davison got ko’d?

They were a horrible team, Northampton, playing in the image of their manager Ian Atkins. They were all about set pieces and big balls into big John Gayle, but Davo came for everything that day and completely nullified their threat. An absolute warrior, and a great goalkeeper.
