20 years ago today, best ever at S. O. L.???

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Last game my father attended.


Thought that was 1-1 (Carteron)???

I suppose that is as good a game as any to have as your last marra.

 

[Manuel]

He ended up costing us the final.

Awful keeper imo.

He was like his bad days far outweighed his good ones.

 

[SAFCDurhamFTM]

The Burnley game and the 2-1 mag win come before that for me.

Maybe, but the Chelsea game is the best performance I have witnessed in my 35 years of watching us when comparing opposition and league. That 1st half I think we would have destroyed any team in the world. Sat back 2nd half.

I remember standing in a stunned silence at half time.

 

[dom]

He ended up costing us the final.

Awful keeper imo.

Yeah he was reckless at crosses.

Was travelling to Italy for work that afternoon, arrived at hotel about 6pm uk time, and as I got to check in the guy says "call for you" and hands me a phone, it was my boss, pissed as a fart and babbling the score at me, totally delirious, I could have cried, gutted I missed that one.

 

[PaulG]

You must be joking???

Nope, just confused. I flew over for the 1-1 match and I was sure that it was described as the first time we had hosted the Mags at the SOL. We were all given red or white cards to turn the SOL into a sea of red and white stripes. In checking now, it must have been the first match against them since the SOL was expanded.

Will we ever get anywhere close to this again?

[Lo Ursem]

Agree on the Richardson game but Chelsea beat Burnley for me. Burnley wouldn't be in my top five.

And Burnley was not in the top flight

 

[mikemanc]

Some great games mentioned here, I'll throw in 2-0 v Bradford on boxing day, could have been 10 but their keeper had a blinder

No.
No.

This for me aswell

 

[WattStaxy]

Chelsea blown away by half time 4 nil.
Poyet got a consolation, but what a 1st half.
Quinn destroyed Desailly and got 2 as did SKP.
Absolute scenes.

A couple of pints in town then train to Hartlepool to see Morrissey
Canny day?

 

[bagpiperay]

I was there. A match never to be forgotten but oh! how the mighty have fallen!!

 

[jcrossan]

Not my best ever game but the one, especially at half time, that I thought we had finally cracked it.

 

[MigsGoalKicks]

Was there and at 8 years old, I really didn't appreciate it.

 

[cornish mackem]

4 of us travelled up fro London , 2 SAFC and 2 Chelsea. Cracking weekend with an amazing game.
We had a pint ( or 2) on 5th Ave ( or whatever it was called then) and one of the Chelsea lads I was with started talking to another Chelsea fan in a Chelsea top. He was taken aback and had to stop the conversation as the lad was from Durham and spoke with a Durham accent. It was only a little thing but just not expected
