Biggest Surprise Ever As A Wanderer

One choice only please folk.

 

For me,....getting promotion in 1994/95.

 

It was also the catalyst for bigger things, obviously debatable but it was IMHO as it built on the progress already made.

Correct Tom

 

You are always 10/10 x

The wins at Liverpool and Arsenal were both brilliant performances and I was lucky to have been at both games.

 

 

And never took me...child cruelty!!

qualifying for Europe, and that very first game 

For me it would be the two wins at Old Trafford in 2001 and 2002. The second one more than the first in many ways.

 

Honourable mentions for the signing of Nicolas Anelka in 2006 and of course the results against Bayern Munich and Athletico Madrid.

 

Looking back a bit further I can remember the surprise that we'd got promoted from Div 4 at Wrexham in 1988. Literally nothing had gone right for BWFC for pretty much a decade. I still didn't believe it was true the following morning.

Malcolm being wrong that time ????

Being smashed 6-2 of Man City.... vowing I'd never go away to there ground again... Went the following season, sat in the home end (long story) and we won 1-0 Diouf I believe, having to sit on my hands and be disappointed.... extra value, that result got Keegan sacked too.

Wasn't that a last minute Speed penalty after we were absolutely dry-bummed by City the entire game?

 

I could be wrong, we beat them 3 times in a row at their place after that 6-2... Malc?

First season with the old embankment gone, a small part of me died that day

Stuart Pearce was manager when we won 1-0 thanks to speed penalty I believe

I think the 1-0 when Dioufy scored was a live Monday night game

Aye that was a messy one

Ha ha yeah. He gave a good wrestle on the way out.

Getting to the prem has to be number 1, Shirley......

Wind it in pablo lad!

Not really

 

We were beating teams like Everton for fun in the cups at the time so it was only matter of time

meeting Little Whitt

Realising when in the Premier League how jealous/bitter Everton and City fans are of their city rivals.

Biggest surprise is realising how many people you meet who you would stand shoulder to shoulder with without a second thought purely based on the fact you think you may have seen them once at Blackburn away.

 

The charity football yesterday is a belting example.

 

Football lads are the best people you could ever wish to meet.
