Donny away at the end of 1971/72. We lost 2-1 (still went up). Crowd that day was over 12,000. My abiding memeory is seeing loads of Town Fans in white butchers jackets, doc martins and silk scarfs tied around their wrists

Quoted from 137
Can't remember the year exactly, but our youth team at the time included the Moore brothers, Tony Ford, Terry Donovan, Nigel Batch, Drinks & Wilkie (I think), and had made the final in whatever cup the youths played for then against Sunderland - which was a 2-legged affair.
/* Yep, my memory's getting rather hazy */
Every football "expert" was then convinced that Sunderland's youth team were the best in the country bar none - so when we went there and won 4-1 it was a 'bad day at the office' for them, and they'd show us what they were really made of in the return at BP.
They showed up full of confidence, and Dave Moore was having a hard time (at centre-back) against one of their strikers. Dave was fouling the guy every time to stop him, and when he did this in the area (pen. not given, corner awarded) I saw Batchy go out and have a word with Dave as Sunderland prepared for the corner.
Ball came into the box and Batchy punched the ball away with one fist, and knocked out this troublesome striker with his other fist. A stoppage of several minutes resulted....
We went on to win 4-0 for a difficult-to-dispute-who-were-the-better-side winning aggregate of 8-1!
Really good crowd at BP that day, too.
******************
The goal I always remember is Drinks making it 2-2 at Carlisle on the opening day of a season long ago (we/he won the match 3-2).
Great story that. Don't think Wilkie would have been in that team, he'd have been too young. |

can't be bothered to read through 300 posts but her's a few which spring to mind
1) ivano bonetti turning mark bowen inside out and delivering the perfect cross for us to get aheaded late equaliser at norwich
2) ivano bonetti making his debut at charlton and the realsisation after 10 minutes that we'd got ourself a real diamond
3) ivano bonetti on the touch line at b'ham penned in by 3 of their players and still coming away with the ball
4) chelsea 3-2 away win ,after being 2 down at half time.going mad on the open terrace,soaked to the skin
5) lee ashcroft leaping into the terrace at orient trying to lamp a lad who'd been giving him a hard time
6) alan pouton free kick at brighton - beautiful day in the open stand in the sun and a great weekend down there
7) wba away on good friday. hung for 45 minutes of constant pressure to snatch a completely undeserved 1-0 win
8 ) livvo scoring the winner at fulham off his backside
9) that fulham play off match at craven cottage - great game and a great day out
10 - the ultimate memory - ivano bonetti getting THAT goal against wba ; i admit to having tears in my eyes, was the perfect story book ending

Getting stuffed 4-0 at Ipswich in the FA Cup. Probably 92/93? A thoroughly miserable afternoon.
13th February 1993...missed that one. I was getting married at the time! But I get your drift about it being a thoroughly miserable afternoon though!  |

Charlie Nicholas scoring 2 brilliant free-kicks at BP when Arsenal beat us 4-3 in the FA Cup in the mid 80's
Just about the only time I really enjoyed a game that Town lost.
Remember Batch just waving at the ball as it sailed in the net............. Other game I really enjoyed that Town lost, Blackburn beating us 3-2 at home, toasted an 3-0 down at half time only to come out second half and absolutely batter them just couldnt get the equaliser. A fantastic game of football. |

Both goals at Bradford City in our 2-0 win 90/91 I think. Tommy Watson and Diddy Gilbert. Pure football class.
Clive Hickman 1972 against Reading or was it Cambridge on an easter Monday game in an absolute mudbath. Injury time minute winner to make it 2-1 My Dad and many others had left to get the bus home thinking it was a draw. I believe the crowd was around 13,000 that day and we had already played a game at home just a couple of days before in front of another 5 figure crowd.
Another was the Matt Tees goal against Exeter 1972. What a night
Bury away same season as Bradford game, lost 3-2 (I think) and David Lee was awesome for Bury that night. Was a cracking atmosphere still amongst the Town faithful |

I think the only one of those I missed was the Chelsea game. Was at Uni and had no one to go with except 2 Chelsea supporting flatmates. When they got back to the pub in Herne Bay that night they were shell-shocked. Remember that Brum game. Bonetti took a shot almost straight from the kick off. It was on target but didn't have enough power. Home fans making their zulu noise (or sounded like that). The WBA away game - we were under pressure most of the game. Think they missed a penalty. Pre-match in a pub run by a Town fan I seem to remember. That Livvo goal at Fulham (very hot day) meant we got our first win of the 97-98 season. The play off game there was another stinking hot day. Can remember sitting outside the 8 Bells at one of those games and some lass in tennis gear cycling by past a horde of drunk up Town - what was she thinking of! Can't remember much of the Norwich game but it was a good atmosphere. |

Coyne was lucky not to get sent off for handling outside the area
then he saved a pen
Then pouton scored a pen in the last few minutes.
Yes i remember a pub run by a town fan
not sure it was good friday though, it was 18/8 2001, a few months before we had beaten them 1-0 on easter monday 16/4/2001 when Cornwall scored and conoco blew up!!!!!
