Saw the thread on a Facebook site and it got me thinking. Off the top of my head

BWFC

Frank vs Ipswich

Stu Holden vs Blackburn

Tony Kelly at Springfield Park the famous “Zico” Dave Higson moment

Non-BWFC

Jairzinho 1970 World Cup

Terry McDermott when the scousers demolished Spurs in the late 70s

Gascoigne vs Scotland Euro 96

Edit: changed my mind - love watching the Dave Higson Zico goal

SJM scoring the last goal at Burnden, only a pen but the right finale, emotional for him, for me, and no doubt many of us

The last goal wasn't a pen

What sort of night was that for people that went, did the club lay on a convoy of coaches for it?

It is mad but I can not remember how we got there. Pretty sure I got a lift from Bradford with the lad I still go to games with, but I sat with my dad and he sat with his parents. His missus is on the long BBC highlights. I know the traffic was bad outside the ground and lots were stuck in traffic when we scored, people jumping out and celebrating.

In the ground was just brilliant, we dominated but they had a couple of chances and after the second we could have had a couple more. Seeing McGinlay seemingly floating in midair waiting for Lees cross to come in is still pretty clear. ‘Soaring magnificent header’ and ‘Walker is free, and he’s scored’ are my 2 favourites bits of commentary.

I wasn't sure about that myself, looked again, that slightly off balance tap in at the far post. Rob Hawthorne (still doing it for Sky) on the comms

Ones I wish I could see again Frankie’s goals against Manu home and away… how did local tv not record either game.😩

That away game is the forever highlight of time supporting BWFC. Was on the paddock opposite the cameras that night

I read somewhere a while ago that the game was recorded by Granada and the tapes were lost when they left the building on Quay St. So long ago that I can’t remember the story but it was summat along the lines that they couldn’t get the tape back to the studio on time for the late night news bulletin so they were just lobbed in the storage and binned when the building shut down. Probably a load of shite but if only eh…..

Its same with the other white hot games, seen all the footage loads of times but rarely hear about what it was like getting there and back and what people's away day experiences were like etc.

They are two ace goals, you dont get headers like that anymore!

And Alan Brazil I think on Co-Coms

The 3-2 win at Everton is so underrated.

My back story to the Liverpool cup game was I’d just met a new girlfriend and booked a fortnight in Tenerife before the draw was made thinking we’d not make the 3rd round, I rarely missed any game back then home and away so I was devastated we drew Liverpool, my mood lifted after the draw at Burnden knowing I’d be home for the replay, what an amazing night it was and to end the story I’m still with the same girl now all these years later, one thing she never minds me doing is watching BWFC… that’s probably why we’re still married. 🤣

now its possession at all costs and hoping for the perfect goal.

TBF, Duberry’s efforts and CBT’s cracker made it a great season for goals outside the box!

neighbour drove us to Everton

he went into auto pilot at the m61 horwich junction and went north because that's what he did everyday going to work

took him 20 minutes to realise

then got stuck in traffic coming back the other way

missed kick off

couldn't get near goodison, legged it to the ground, had just sat down when Stuart Barlow put them 1-0 up

was 16 and used to the burnden terrace, was at the front of the top tier down the side and it gave me vertigo

I only ever did Everton on official travel and that was grim enough, wouldnt fancy running around in those streets after dark!

Funny about top tier I went on that open day at Reebok just after it opened and was blown away by the concept of a top tier, it felt proper high up 😃

We were stood outside the main stand at Everton and my old pulled the tickets out and some lad nabbed them out of his hand.

Luckily my Dad's mate managed to grab him and the lad wazzed em on the floor.

We were on the top balcony. First time I'd ever seen a view like it.

Yes that brings it back. I remember that as soon as we were in the ground everyone was on a massive high that I hadn't witnessed before, the sort you only get when your team is playing a huge match at a huge stadium. And that simply hadn't happened in my supporting years as the 80s were so grim. And rather than settle down once the match got going, it went up a massive notch with the McGinlay header. Like you I can still see it just to my left. Not sure which was the best moment, that or seeing Walker rise like a salmon in front of the Kop for the 2nd. Hard to top those moments, although winning at Arsenal came close - but that was with a team established in the 2nd tier, not the 3rd.

Not read all of this but I’ve seen a mention of Everton so a slight diversion to a double birthday celebration today of Mike Walsh and Peter Reid. They both played in the 1st leg semi at Goodison in 1977. (Whatmore scored)

70 today👏

I actually went on a joint 21st birthday bash with them and others!

Yes definitely this season was unreal for long distance goals, and so many of them last minute decisive goals. Most of the scorers aren't our players any more so I hope we can get some replacements with a similar skillset.

I was in top tier, remember someone saying we were that high up they would be selling duty free afterwards.

I went with an Everton fan from work, really laid back bloke, not a scouser. He never spoke a word on way back.

It could nt have been that long after the Jamie Bulger murder as remember being amazed at the number of young kids just knocking about. I mean really young pre teenage years wandering round after game.

We had taken around 10,000 to Old Trafford a couple of years before Anfield.

Oh yes I forgot about that! We had such an average team then but still 0-0 well into the 2nd half against their first team. A pity that game wasn't in the White Hot/Rioch years because I'm certain we'd have won at OT as a 3rd division team.

Sheffield Wednesday in the league cup was my second away game

the ground felt massive

but what blew my mind was you could get a pot noodle from the kiosk

it felt proper premier league

In a similar vein Wolves away in the play offs made me realise maybe we weren't that big after all ha

I'd watched us in division 3 and 2 all my life with the occasional jaunt to a prem team in the cups.

Wolves I realised there were other clubs like us with big grounds and fanbases.

Very few assists are better than this one for a late, late winner.
