Which game was this? I can't seem to remember it for some reason.

Was just before my time seen the dvd etc but from my memory alone would stick with Gordon even Neil Warnock said whoever was on the line when Adam Johnson curled in the equalizer should've handballed it as the form Gordon was in he would've saved the penna

Reyna had a couple of world class performances for us in between injuries - Blackburn away and v Leicester. Width of a post away from an 'out of the box' hat trick as well as dominating the game.

The 1-1 Adam Johnson injury time goal game

Henderson was on the line. AJ curled it from outside the box.

All the players who took Chelsea apart, they work amazing together. Everything just clicked. To think we all expected a spanking and when they got away with that red card I expected it to be a shot day

seem to remember brian mooney having a cracking debut for us but did nowt else, ever

ian rogerson v rangers similar

other excellent performances springing to mind (albeit may not make a best 11)

marco v watford (4-0)
goodman v millwall (6-2)
quinn v spurs (2-1)
quinn v chelsea (4-1)
john byrne v west ham (3-2)

Phillips at Bury ( scoring 4 in a game is a decent return!)

Was just going to say that.
2nd Div, fair enough. But a memorable performance.


Totally unrelated to the thread title, of course.
But best personal performances AGAINST us would have to incluse two in the same game.

v Aston Villa, League Cup.
Atkinson and Bosnich.

You're obviously my era as I remember all these games - all class performances.
In all my years - first game 78 - Brady v West Ham in 89, stands out a mile. Made all the more special as I'd bought the home shirt on the day of the match and had it on.
Also, Clive Walker in the first half v Man United in 84 or 85. 3-2 at half-time.
As for games against us - how about Cantona v us, in the Cup replay in 1996?
