If you could re-live one game

Everton away with that late winner from Wilko. From celebrating we might hold on for a replay to then win it after being under the cosh for most of the game was amazing.

Tranmere away early 90's league cup.

Chhhiiiiiimmmmmmmmaaaaa


Obviously the big games, but sometimes it's the lesser games that create the memories too.

Chelsea 2 Grimsby 3. Saturday 17th December 1983. This game for me, I travelled with the Town fans on the train to Kings Cross. I was a Chelsea follower in them days and was sat behind the dugouts with my younger brother and a mate. at half time I was well happy being 2 - 0 up through John Bumstead and Kerry Dixon, Town came out and scored through a player I cant recall but the highlight of the game was a magnificent strike by Tony Ford, it was one of the best goals I have seen at Stanford Bridge. I think Waters scored the winner for Town which left me gutted.This day was marred by the Harrods Bomb which killed many and was a sad day for the nation but the game was one to remember for the 13,000 that attended for Fords goal alone.
Chelsea came to Blundell Park for the last game of the season and won 0 - 1 (Dixon) and lifted the Div 2 title. How things have changed for me as now if I could return for that game I would be stood with the Town fans.

I was there that day too Steve, there's very little press coverage etc from that game because of the IRA bombing of Harrod an hour and a half before kick off when most press were called away to cover that.

I thought Waters got the first, Paul Emson the 2nd and Fordy got the winner. Long time ago though so I might be getting muddled up.

Just dug out my "Complete Record" book to check Steve.

Kerry Dixon scored the first after 27 minute from the penalty spot following a foul by Kev Moore (RIP)

John Bumstead put Chelsea 2-0 up after 57 minutes.

On 66 minutes Joe Waters beat Eddie Niedzwiecki with a 30 yard chipped shot

Eight minutes later Paul Emson jinked round the home defence and the Chelsea keeper could only get a finger-tip to the ball as it entered the net and then 3 minutes after that Emson sent an inch-perfect cross for Tony Ford to stun the occupants of The Shed into unaccustomed silence.

In between the last 2 goals, referee D.J.Axcell had to be stretchered off the field to be replaced by his linesman D.H.Nevin.

i have a tough call on this one as 3 stand out for me. The first being the unforgettable 4-3 defeat to arsenal at blundell park in the fa cup, great game great atmosphere against a great team. The second bournemouth at wembley, as others have mentioned the fact that we saw our little club playing at wembely for the first time ever was just huge and a great day out was had, the third was wembely 98 again against northampton, not particularly a great game but the feeling of emotion i had inside at the final whistle, dont mind admitting i was rather tearfull as that season i hadnt missed many games home or away and the feeling of knowing we had finally done it was something i have yet to repeat.

but as i only have 1 choice, bournemouth at wembley 98, only because it is something i always dreamed of but never in my wildest dreams thought would ever happen, gtfc at wembley.

I`m with Sigone on this one, Town 2 Everton 1, League cup 4th round. Over 22,000 in Blundell Park. It was a night match and the atmosphere was electric. I was in the old Barrett`s stand. A programme for this game is actually for sale on ebay at the moment. A close second was seeing Town beat Bournemouth at Wembley.

Everton away still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it as a young kid twagging it to go. I'd want to see the Sheffield Utd game as I can only just remember it and I want to see the Waters goal again.

Wembley 1 too as it still brings a tear to the eye.
