'we want fatty back' after fat Portsmouth fan was being ejected at Roker Park for showing his massive belly and giving us the V's. To our amazement, he was let back in.

I remember a fat pompey fan being ejected at Fratton after concerted abuse from our end. Took all in good humour for the first half showing his gut and then lost it and was ejected. As that was happening one of our lot was stood at the front of the stand mimicking a fisherman - reeled him.

Would be funny if it was the same bloke.
 
Jock Stein died.
The game was called off at half time (lads-Liverpool)
 
Porterfield scored that goal
Yogi Hughes made his one and only appearance (met him a few year ago when he was manager of the London road tavern)
 
even though Shaun didn't go up to lift the Milk Cup, I was there.
 
barry whats the score barry barry whats the score

among many others but my memory isn't that good :(
 
Ah - the 10 goals in 3 games. Thanks for reminding me - we hadn't scored in ages before that so it was even more bizarre.

The day we played in fog, and the Roker End had to call out 'Who scored? Who scored?', until the Fulwell End chanted the scorer's name as the players re-emerged at the half-way line.

9,000 and odd against Swindon at home.

That Man City replay - if only you could bottle that night...
 
Oster hit the bar in the FA Cup Semi.

Hillsborough was taken over by Sunderland in the CCC winning season.

Ji "did it" to Man City at the SoL ;)

Funny, serious out ya like! Just fancy a bit... Nostalgia! :cool:

Heard stories about the mud slide at Wigan (iirc)... must have been such a laugh!

Nostalgia back to 2004. I reckon you must be canny youthful.

I was there when we won 4-1 at Sid james Pork.
I was there when we got Lawrie f***ing MacMenemy.
 
I was there at St. James' Park, 5th September 1979 when the lads drew 2-2 and won 4-3 on penalties in the League Cup. Unfortunately I never saw us beat them! Being 10 year old I was with my father and his mate who decided to leave 5-10 minutes before full-time (like he always did!) to get back to the car. We were getting beat 2-1 (4-3 on aggregate) at the time and looked to be going out of the cup. What a bummer! My one and only time at the landfill. :lol:
 
the mud slide at Wigan. :lol::lol:

Yep, me too.
Wooden terracing at preston too.
Cricket field at Northampton.
3 sided ground at Aldershot.
First game at Brentford.
Last game at Rotherham.
Boxing day (?) at Chester.
Pitch invasion at Blackpool.
"Riot" at York.
Wembley Mercantile that season.
