One Game

Quoted from Fishbone

When we beat Everton 2-1 on 30th October, 1979, League Cup 4th round, 22,043 at Blundell Park to witness Mick Brolly scoring twice, inspiring the headline in The Sun 'Good Golly, it's Brolly'. Was in the Harrington Street corner (open) in the teeming rain screaming for the final whistle for what felt like an eternity!

In the same corner myself that night...although i attended games before that evening i cant remember any of them in particular, that was my first "memorable" game at BP.

however for me.....Watford away 30/1/93 - Won 3-2 -  the one and only game of that season that i missed.... due to the inconsiderate Mrs going into labour in the early hours and not delivering until 10 mins before kick off...could have made it if it was a home game

OK for the youngsters especially, but not exclusively, which game from non-League days would you go back to if you could (FGR Play-off final excluded)?

I'd probably got for the SF at Eastleigh in 2015.

FGR ....inflatable night....Disley rising like a salmon to score.....without exaggeration pretty much 90 mins of noise from the away end...something Colin Murray bigged up the following day on his Talksport show.  Fantastic evening.

Town 4 Shef U 0

Drinkell 3 Waters 1 Town champions!

Thanks to my power of being a moderator, the last few posts deleted to stop me looking like a right mammary!  

The Everton 2-1 for me..a young lad in con's  corner stood on his stool  that my big bro made for me..also when we took over Wimbledon away in the f.a cup. I went into the greyhound stadium by mistake, was a better stadium than plough lane.

Aye and about 1000 Everton shoplifters and pickpockets descended on the town-they made a right killing out of us [honest] mugs.

Any of the above would do it but for me it's got to be the Auto Windscreens/Leyland Daf/Johnstones Paint meaningless trophy, GTFC 2 Bournemouth 1, "I was there when Burnett scored". Still got the tee shirt, in fact my son sent a picture of me in it to Wayne last year (how sad)
I used to say to my daughter that before I die I want to walk down Wembley Way wearing my black and white scarf and stand for the national anthem before kick off. I also said that winning and losing was unimportant next to the overall experience, but I realised that was rubbish after some of the recent losses.
For sure my greatest GTFC memory

This is starting to sound like a Harrington St Corner reunion, I was in that bit too as a 12 year old, I remember the Star of the Mirror next morning "Brolly rains on the toffees" springs to mind.

We where spoilt long before we where spoilt!  

Just being in the Pontoon when it was standing, Being lifted off my feet as a teenager and going from the top of the Pontoon down to almost the bottom after Town scored. The atmosphere and the characters were awesome. A lot of games I came a way with headache with the noise that was generated in those days.

If it's a game I've been too, I'd choose 4-1 vs Exeter, the first game under George Kerr and Bobby Cumming scored in the first minute.

It was my second ever game and the people I went with said 'it won't always be like that'.  However, for a few seasons it was like that.  The dream ended when I saw us lose 5-1 at home to West Ham and our chance of promotion to the top flight under Dave Booth came to an end.  Heady days! We were really within a whisker of getting to old Div One.
