As mentioned before, Preston away in 3rd division was an eye opener. Was in the seats and hardly see the pitch due to the number of supports keeping the roof up


Canny game, though. Let's see how far dementia has kicked in. We won 2-0 and McPhail scored a penalty?

The terraces were not not better, wooden they were. Nearly got a good hammering outside too
 
A random bloke fell over the advertising hoardings after David Connolly scored the equaliser away at Burnley

And talking of random blokes and Connolly...outside the oval pub in Dublin where every few minutes a tram came past going to Connolly which kicked off the song and a pissed random Irish Liverpool fan got off after getting a load of grief and offered the entire pub out.
 
When Brian Clough scored his only First Division goal.
When Bobby Kerr broke his leg the first time.
When we last won at Man Utd.

God I'm old.............
 
Mark Bosnich put in the best goalkeeping performance Ive ever seen, as we battered Villa in the league cup but lost 4-0

Beat Notts County @ Meadow Lane in the simod cup on pens 1990/1991
Lost to Everton at Goodison 4 - 1 in the same season same cup !
Luto away when away fans banned 1991
Bangor city, Macclesfield in pre season .

There was a lot of publicity beforehand that any away supporters would be ejected from the ground. The London Branch team had arranged a game on the Saturday morning against Luton supporters association and they had obtained official permission for us to attend from Bedfordshire Constabulary. About 15 of us were sat in Luton's main stand and started singing (as they couldn't throw us out). Thinking it must be alright, literally hundreds of S'land in the main stand joined in and then several hundreds more behind the goal.

Reckon we had about 1500 there in total. And we won. Pascoe & Gabbas? :)

Still went down though! :-(
 
My first game under the lights,,,,,,,, 50 years ago this week !!!

cup replay, 3-0 v southampton,
 
20,000 queued all night outside Roker Park to get Norwich semi final tickets.
Jonny Kay did the red and white tractor on Peter Haddock
Paul Hardyman booted Fatty Burridge in the swede after he saved his penalty
Benno decapitated David Speedie
We went down against Gillingham
:lol::lol::lol:
 
Roker Park was being sold off bit by bit and people were going down to buy their old seat bits of the pitch etc. A lad with a Mag top on rocked up and was there no more than thirty seconds before someone ran over and banjoed him in the middle of the pitch. Was canny funny and bit shocking at the same time. ANyone else see that? Rumour was the kid had was a delivery driver who had a job to take something to Roker Park from his mates who dared him to wear a mag top. Love to know who it was that wedged him and then kicked his arse all the way out of the ground. Was an emotional time like.

Tremendous

Correct me if I'm wrong....

When we were 5 up inside 30 mins against wolves in the league cup

Something very close if not that
Circa 1983
 
I was there when the 'Tango' man was leading Mexican waves.
Or did I just imagine it? My bloody memory is all over the shop!
