One of the best, Town 7 Darlington 2
Town 6 0 up at half time.
Can't remember exact year but in the 1980s.
Also went to rochdale about the same time when town where fighting for the fourth division championship and came from 2 0 down to win 5 2.
Its the only game I have ever been to where the fans changed ends at half time.


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

It's going to be mentioned and has been tons but yeah the win against Liverpool. Heart stopping every time Coyne performed heroics and then the most exciting finish to top it all off.

Also a random game against Notts Forrest i always remember being really good. I believe the final score was 4:3 to us and they had Beasent in goal. Just remember i completely lost my voice from all the shouting during an end to end game.

Got a feeling Beasant got sent off that match and we went 4-2 up, conceded to make it 4-3 and went into panic mode.

Yeah I know, but after 90 minutes when Chesterfield were 2-1 up in the replay, they were announcing details of travel and ticket details for their fans.

Too many games to mention and most of them have been covered. The comeback against Barnsley is a particular favourite.

A couple of games that stick in the memory for me were actually deafeats but the opposition were superb. The game when West Ham took a very good Grimsby side apart and David Cross scored 4 for them. Think we had a measly home defensive record up to that point, only letting in a handful of goals all season 'til the Hammers arrived.

Also a Ray Houghton inspired Fulham absolutely played us off the pitch one season, They were like a well oiled machine.

Another game that sticks in my mind and never gets a mention is the 3-1 home win against a very good Coventry side in the League cup. The pass and move football we played that night was some of the best i have ever witnessed. Remember being sat up in the Findus stand watching us drag them all over the place. Fantastic.

Anyone know if any footage exists of that game?

Don't want to take your money but Rothmans Year Book states Livvo 2, Allen 1


Just looked at the goal times and both scored in the last minute Livvo got the equiliser and Allen the winner.
