Quoted from Les Brechin
Jan 1979.

Town 7 Darlington 2. Just the first half really as we were 6-0 up at half-time. We lost the 2nd half 2-1.  

The previous Saturday we'd beat Bradford 5-1 at home.


I missed the first two goals as I was finishing my pints in the Imp.

Some great games mentioned but my all-time favourite is Grimsby 3 Barnsley 2. Good Friday in 1982. Barnsley were going for promotion. They went 2-0 up but then Town inspired by Trevor Whymark (easily the most skilful player I've seen in the Black and White stripes) started to play.....
The faces of the Barnsley fans at the end were a mixture of pure shock and rage

Beating Lincoln 3-0 in the snow at Xmas 2005, Ciaran Toner scoring from the edge of the box, Reddy doing his usual and Parkinson firing home from 25 yards, either that or the 4-1 win over Rochdale that same season, being 1 down at half time and kaning them in the second

My mate got there at half time. We told him it was 0-0 (it was in the days before the scoreboard). He was ranting away when Darlo scored their second...until a bloke stood behind us threatened to smack him because "some people were never happy"....

Whats the best game you have seen at Blundell Park since you have been going?

Infact same question to any other supporters of any other team.


1966 league cup game v West Ham,who of course had Bobby Moore,Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst at the club.

We matched them,twice took the lead but had to settle for a replay which we lost 1-0 with a disputed goal.

We were in the 3rd division then (league one now) but we sold Tees and Green,our formidable strikeforce at the time,and went into a tailspin which resulted in applying for re election in 1969.By current rules we would have been relegated out of the league.

In that league cup run incidentally we had already seen off Bolton and I think Preston and Birmingham in the days when everyone played their first team in every competition.

Too many to list but:

Town 7-1 Scunthorpe
Town 3-0 Exeter
Town 2-1 Everton
Town 1-0 Spurs

One game that sticks in my mind is a 3-2 win at home to Peterborough in  1972. i seem to recall we were 2-0 down and perhaps, Ian Turner's debut(?). Dave Worthington scored a rare goal and the game was televised ( that means that it was on the following day for the younger element)

Town West Ham when Laws and Bonnetti shook hands on the pitch beforehand, the atmosphere that night was electric.

Fulham game to get into the play off final.

When we beat Wrexham 5-1 Birtles Hat trick to go up, my first taste of success with town!

Huddersfield when cockers scored 2 belters.
West Ham when Beasant was in goal - not sure the ball went above head height many times all game
Sheff Utd - Drinkell hattrick
Hull City - when Childs scored the winner right at the end
