Not a bad call. Maybe only the first 85 minutes of that one though.

The Arsenal game always sticks with me too , great game with some great free kicks from big time Charlie ............. Being a bit of a Spurs fan the 0-3 against them in 91/92 was enjoyable too , Massive crowd  and just showed we needed a 20 goal a season goal scorer , Spurs had 4 chances and scored 3

The Liverpool 5-0 away defeat in Jan 1980.

We were good at the time but probably not expected to even score.  Liverpool were a lot better than they are this season.  Big crowd (just under 50,000), good atmosphere and a nice dayout.  Bar the Town fans who got kicked out of the Kop because the Anfield Road end was full.  12,000 Town fans added much to the cracking atmosphere.

Watching replays such as this always reminds me of the crap decision by the club to hand over the Pontoon to the away fans.

Against Jimmy Plaice and Kenny Dogfish et al.  

I know that quite a few Town fans went to watch the Everton v Aldershot game as they couldn't get in.

I can't imagine Liverpool and Everton both playing at home on the same day nowadays!

I have enjoyed a few games that we lost,

Mainly because of the great fans we have,

The Arsenal game of course but also Coventry away, Liverpool away, Man City away and even the Wembley and Cardiff defeats.

I'd rather stab myself in the eye repeatedly than watch that Cheltenham game again!

Huddersfield was good, a throwback to the days when the ground had a decent amount of people in and we were playing a so-called proper team.

I think you must be one of the very few Town fans to enjoy that day/game Pete. Utter misery from start to finish for me.

One of my favourite ever games was the 3-2 away defeat to Sheff Wed in the league cup in 97. We went through over 2 legs so it doesn't really count as a proper defeat.

We got to Liverpool on one of those football special trains that they put on in the seventies and eighties.
A few of the windows on the train were smashed on the return journey out of Liverpool.


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

You obviously missed the pre and post match scrapping then.

Batch was poor that day, went walkabout for the first and was easily lobbed for the free kick, different leagues and different times but I think Macca would have done better

I did say mainly because of our great fans Les,

If only Reddy did not go off injured.

If only Parky had been given that nailed on pen....

I can't say I enjoyed that  defeat in Cardiff whatsoever but without any shadow of a doubt our fortunes would have been vastly different had we won that day and got promotion....

Have to agree with les, whole heartedly, that arsenal game was awesome, atmosphere in the osmond electric. Enjoyed that game immensely even though we got beat.

Was away for the Arsenal game but got to that Wimbledon game. Cracking atmosphere.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The home game against Blackburn when Tony Hately led the line for them. Two cracking sides with Hately being the difference between them. Think it finished 3-4 but I might well be wrong on that! or was it Portsmouth???  Lol!

That was Portsmouth I think.

We were on a long unbeaten run that season. The last time we had lost was Portsmouth away.

Yes, sorry, it was Portsmouth!  Fantastic game though.
Oh, and of course it was Mark Hately, Tony 's son. Ooh my failing memory!
