Leyther_Matt Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Beating West Ham 1-0 to give us a real chance of staying up. Okocha scored some crackers for us but that was the best of the lot. Quote

paulhanley Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Funnily enough one game that made me feel fantastic was a United win. The one at Ipswich in 2002 that guaranteed our survival in the top flight and meant a second successive season in tier 1 for the first time since 1979/80. Other than that: Getting promoted at Blackburn in 1978; beating Sheff Weds on the last day of 81/2 to survive in Div 2; Beating Wigan over two legs to get to Wembley in 86. Wrexham to get promoted in 88 was a terrific feeling. Just couldn't believe something had gone right for BWFC after so many years of shit. Clinching another Wembley trip at Bloomfield Road in 1989 as well. Derby wins I've really enjoyed for whatever reason - the 2-1 win at home to Burnley in Div 4; a number of wins at Ewood including the 3-4 in 2004 when we'd been 3-1 down and the two 0-1 wins - one when Dioufy dived and the other when Jussi saved two pens. Hammering the cunts 4-0 at the Reebok a few years ago was also a pleasure along with 2-1 when Heskey scored and 1-0 with Eagles in the last minute. Big mention for Stuart Holden's winner straight after they'd equalised in 2010 (2-1). Always enjoy beating Blackpool and the 3-0 hammering we gave them at Burnden at the start of Rioch's era was a good one. Enjoyed each of our 1-3 wins at Wigan - two in the Prem and one in 86 when they'd gone something like 40 games unbeaten at home and we were shit away. That was a very unlikely result. More recently I enjoyed the 0-2 win at Bury given we hadn't won a league game there in my lifetime. Quick mentions for Bolton 1 Charlton 0 in the FA Cup Quarter Final of 2000; Leicester 1 Bolton 5, any win at Old Trafford, Everton 0 Bolton 4. I could go on.... Quote
MancWanderer Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 1. Frank double at OT 2. Frank at Ewood 3. Wrexham Quote
Johnnyrotten Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Agree with all of the above, I'd add that games when we've stopped the rot after not winning for bloody ages always make me feel elated. One was Bristol City at Burnden in about 1990 when Greeny scored the winner and they brought about 3,000 expecting to celebrate promotion. That game effectively put us in the play offs after we seemed to have blown it. Quote

The goal celebration, the pitch invasion, There have been loads of highs, & it may be that it was the most recent, but I don't think i've ever been more elated or over excited than at the Forest match Quote

RoadRunnerFan Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Add the Leicester at home to Mickys list of 9 men Desmonds. Also West Ham 1 nil win at home Okocha screamer was a good day. Edit saw Leyther Matt beat me to West ham. Edited April 2, 2020 by RoadRunnerFan Quote

Benny The Ball Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Difficult to choose one - in date order would be between 1976 Derby Away in League Cup 1977 Everton away in the League Cup 1978 Blackburn Rovers Promotion 1993 FA CUP Liverpool 1994 FA CUP Arsenal 1995 Reading Play offs 2003 West Ham Probably Blackburn wins it for me - it meant so much and there are the ones that miss the shortlist - promotion at Wrexham , Play offs v Wolves and at Ipswich , winning at Old Trafford , promotion at Maine Road , Sunny beach and our first taste of Europe , getting to a major Wembley final after beating Swindon and an odd one - Burnley away- night match 1976/77 first league game at turf moor between us in a generation - a superb atmosphere that night and we showed them who were the bigger club and For the unexpected that I never saw coming - 5 nil Leicester away opening day of season Quote

Night match, lost 4-1, loads of negativity, you're not fit to wear the shirt etc, and the crowd chanting for Warren Joyce, his best performance in a white shirt. Quote

Not to be confused with "Reevesy" at the time. Great player for us Greeny considering he was signed from Derby reserves with no fanfare. Ended up playing games in the Prem and scoring that wonderful header v Southampton. I'll add that Southampton cup game to the list, 2-2 at a packed Burnden when we were in Div 1 after being 2 down.

emus wig Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Think we paid 50 grand for Greeny was an absolute steal . Played in 4 or 5 different positions for us never looked out of place and was ridiculously consistent . Weighed in with some important goals too. Quote
Naytch Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 For me, it has to be: Wilbrahimovic Last day of the season win over Boro when Ricketts got one back for them and we stayed up The Okocha goal against West Ham All just incredible feelings Quote
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 3, 2020 Site Supporter Posted April 3, 2020 The Boro staying up win was all the sweeter as it was the Player of the year awards that night.... Some party that was! 🎉😁 Quote
kent_white Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Stoke away - with ten men. On the terrace with my Dad feeling 10 feet tall! Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Nob End at Cardiff. The back to back wins at old Trafford. West ham Jay Jay 1-0. Any win at Ewood. Quote
marple whites Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 A lot of the ones mentioned, also- pne away, winning 4-1 on the plastic pitch confirming European qualification at Portsmouth double jussi penalty save at Blackburn Quote
MancWanderer Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Actually, another one that made me feel good was Sheff Wed away when Mark Davies scored that screamer to win. Went on kids ‘n’ flids with the youngest. Was front row of the Leppings Lane stand when that bloke ran down the steps celebrating and flipped right over the railing into the lower tier. Honestly thought he was dead Quote
