Burnett at Wembley was pure excitement.  We had never experienced anything like that before.  It was a one-off and you can never recreate the first time magic of winning at Wembley, especially in such circumstances.

A few weeks later against Northampton felt like a bit of an anti-climax in comparison, more pressure and a less enjoyable game.  I would go as far as saying the play-off win over Fulham was far more of a moment.  

Jevons against Liverpool was epic, just because of how it happened.  Same with JPKK against Spurs a few years later, that giant-killing feeling is something else.  Spurs game was a real giant-killing whereas against Liverpool we were only a league below them at the time (albeit they were, in terms of competitions, the best cup side in Europe at that moment).

But for me it'll have to be something to beat the sheer elation and relief of the play-off win against FGR.  The stadium was half empty, they had barely sold a block. In terms of what it actually meant it was pathetic really, a win would mean we play again a level that a lot of people still found embarrassing.  But after all those so nears, those missed opportunities and 12 months on from that sheer heartbreak against Bristol Rovers, with many of those same players who we adored, it was just unbelievable.  Even now, I get goosebumps thinking about it.

I was 50 when we first got to Wembley having never visited the stadium before,

I always said I would go when Town got there,

Then after waiting all those years I went back 5 weeks later.

Burnett Winner
Fulham semi both legs
Singing what a waste of money as Keegans team captained by Chris Coleman I think trudged off and Keegan saying in his interview we where the best footballing side he had seen for a long while
Then the first season in championship seeing Mcdermott having most quality forward and wingers from big teams like Man C Sunderland Wolves etc in his pocket
Great Days
FGR final is up there to such relief
Come on Town! Beat this pi@@pots today

13,000 Town fans at Anfield, out singing the Kop in 1980. I know we got stuffed but it was mental day out. Bonkers Town fans being very loud is my best memories of the 80s

Jimmy Plaice, Kenny Dogfish and the like.

I remember quite a few Town fans were locked out as the away end was full so went to watch Everton v Aldershot instead.

Can you image both Liverpool and Everton at home on the same day now!
