Liverpool 0 Sunderland 1 Saturday, 2 May 1981

Stanley Cummins :)

I was 13 and in the seats with my dad and his mates. Great and memorable day all round that one.

Good fun behind the goal for one of the most unlikely wins ever.
Was one of those games where we had decided on the friday night we were doomed and weren't going to travel, but had second thoughts on the sat morning. What supporting the lads is all about

Would that still happen now? Did you buy tickets outside Anfield off the touts?

We went to Wembley 1990 without tickets, fatha ended up in the Swindon end and they made quite a racket.
 
Dunno if it's been said but Burnley at home when Edwards scored that screamer, I Was There :)
 
Was at the Southend game.
Barnsley for Buxtons last game on a Friday night.
Grimsby for the 6 minute fiasco.
Derby 6-0 on opening day after a decent pre season spend.
5-0, I was there, me mate got in for nowt after telling the stewrds on the door he'd lost his ticket

Aye, was corrected earlier on, 6-0 was a few season earlier in the league cup
 
I was at Southend to see Riera, and to see stead score.

I was at Goodison for the 7-1 defeat, though I did get to see Mr Testicles that day.

Luton on the last day of Keanes first season was canny aswell.

Yes i was at luton when we clinched the championship, invite only and i got one ! ...but we still had fans in every stand that bank holiday weekend :cool:
 
the game against QPR when we displayed the cup at the side of the pitch,and someone scored a bulls eye,and knocked it flying.

Stan Bowles IIRC.

Remember the celebration turning into a near riot with police horses in the Fulwell at the end after two of our players got sent off.

I was in the main stand right on the half way line after travelling down without a ticket...bought some blokes season ticket 5 minutes before kick off for £25
 
i was at
  • scum 0 vrs sunderland 2 1990
  • man city 3 vrs sunderland 2 1991
  • peterborough utd 5 vrs sunderland 2 1992
    • wimbledon 1 vrs sunderland 0 1997
    • charlton 4 vrs sunderland 4 1998
    • wigan 0 vrs sunderland 1 2005
      • barnsley 0 vrs sunderland 2 2007
and many more games to mention more downs than ups i might add as most of my trips were late eighties ,early to mid nineties .
 
The 2-2 at turf moor sticks in my mind as a I was there game...probably because of getting home watching the goals and seeing some bloke just in front of where I'd sat go arse over tit and onto the pitch whilst celebrating Connollys equalizer.
 
Best 4-1 at the mags
1973 final, semi and qutr final
chelsea A 4-2 and 4-1 in that "cup" semi although was bricking it
2-1 H v mags after waiting years
4-0 A at man c
not necc in that order
2-0 at burnley with 9 men,0-0 with 11 or was it 2-1?

worst -every loss to the mags
think it was 8-0 at watford
7-1 at everton
the absolute worst was losing at roker in the playoff thing and going into div 3

barnsley my mate got his head cut when the barnsley fans were throwing half bricks over the top of the terrace from outside the ground.
grimsby we were all pissed and ripping out seats, when this old bloke come over and told us to calm down. we were asking each other, why was the groundsman telling us to calm down, when someone behind said that old bloke was mick buxton.:oops:
derby. we were in the south normo upper( derby end ) and just escaped without a severe beating, apart from the team

Some random ones that stick in my memory:

- vs. Hearts for B£nt's first appearance and goal... also the incident at Central Station.
- Losing 4-1 at home to Bolton, Keane's last game in charge.
- Losing 3-0 away to West Brom and thinking we would be relegated
- Stuffing Cambridge in the cup during the 19 point season.
