The Exeter and Everton games were superb for atmosphere and for Town performances. I've written about the Everton game before. The Exeter game and the crowd were instrumental in their manager John Newman coming here later on and starting the dynasty that died under Mike Lyons. For atmosphere as well, the 2-2 against West Ham in the League Cup QF against West Ham in 1965 takes some beating.
The Tuesday night of the 7-1 against Scunthorpe was brilliant. At the time Rod Green had been injured and Dave Worthington had filled in at CF for the previous game (or 2?). In fact Town had 3 right backs in the side at Crystal Palace on the Saturday - Jimmy Bloomer at RB, Jim Thompson in midfield and Worthington up front. Bobby Ross had played RW. But Green was back that night with a hat trick and Brian Hill was devastating on the left wing. Clemence was in their goal but as far as I remember, Keegan wasn't in their team. He certainly wasn't in the programme anyway.
The 4-0 against Sheff.U was probably Joe Water's best ever game for Town. They just didn't know how to stop him and the way Drinkell made space for him to get into the box was an object lesson in forward play.
My all time favourite performance from the old days was the night we beat Southampton 3-2 with 2 goals from my hero Chips and one from Ralph Hunt. Johnny Scott and Jimmy Fell were unstoppable that night in 1961. The football from both sides was tremendous. I think Brian Clifton was playing for Southampton but the best player on the pitch by a mile was Don Donovan. Pure class.
Glad you said that RRFC, That game is one of the reasons Joe is my avatar. Trouble is, I was a lot younger and didn't really understand the intricacies of the game at that age, I got the passion and the excitement and the atmosphere and the sheer joy of a game like that, just was not knowledgeable of how we did it. I do have a hazy memory of JWs goal that day, when he ran 60 odd yards to finish. Icing on the cake of my formative years as a Mariner. |

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
That was a great match .......... but absolutely f.....g freezing ! That goal from Parky was just quality and one of the best goals I have seen at BP.Another great goal was from KT against Carlisle in our play off season at home when we lost 2-1 ! UTM ! |

5-1 V Lincoln, that was a brilliant day that.
Spurs game has to be up there.
Burnley match for pure entertainment, everytime either team went forward they looked like they was going to score.
Barnet last season, just to give us that glimmer of hope.
Brentford game, we beat them 1-0 I think. Rankin header from a Hockless cross? Anybody remember this? More info on it.

Far too many to mention, but the West Ham 65 League Cup tie was something else. Anyone remember us beating Hull 1-0 in the 66-7 season when they went up as champions from division 3 and John Fielding scored the winning goal? Thousands of hully gullies in the Osmond with black and gold brollies. Nobody expected the win which made it all the sweeter.
Away it has to be the Wimbledon FACup game
I'd forgotten about that Hull game Jock. In those days we used to stand in the Osmond so I came home for the match and went in there about 40 minutes before KO and had to stand in a sea of black and amber for the whole game. Couldn't even cheer when we got the winner.  |

Haha, bless ya. You must be 12 to be quoting pretty much our only 3 home wins of the past 2 years! Feel sorry for town fans that didnt at least grow up with the 1990 side, because there's only been fleeting moments in the past decade. Spurs 1-0 was great for atmosphere. 4-2 against burnley in 89/90? that was one of my first memories. |
