I was there on two occasions when I had travelled from London only to find out when I got to the ground that the match was postponed.

I was there when Lloyd McGrath scored. And when he broke his leg in the Simod Cup...

I was there when McGrath scored too, and Brian Roberts against Norwich.

I was there when Raddvy Avramovic possibly one of the worst keepers ever to represent us, saved a penalty against Wolves in the FA Cup.

I was there when we beat Sunderland 6-1 at home in the First Division (now Premier League)

I was there every game of the 87 Cup run, and sadly when we lost on penalties in the Simod Cup Semi Final against Reading.

Pretty sure I saw Lloyd McGrath score three goals. Two at Highfield Road and one at Watford.

I was there when Donal Murphy got sent off for kicking Kenny Burns in the balls. I think this was the most dramatic sending off I have ever seen.

I was there when Dean Holdsworth scored his only goal for us.

Although it was an absolute peach against Cardiff in the cup.

I was there when George Hudson scored the winner in the final game of the season in 1964, and the crowd went on the pitch at the end to celebrate the Third Division title. These things stay with you forever, even if you were only a kid at the time.

Nice thread Hutch11. All sorts of random little memories come to mind. For example, I was also there when the South American guy (Jose Perdomo?) swung a 50-yard ball from the centre circle, setting it off somewhere in the general direction of Montevideo, and bringing it round in a huge arc like a radio-controlled plane right into the path of somebody to slot it home from a tight angle. In my mind's eye, the scorer was Kevin MacDonald, but that doesn't seem likely does it?

I was in the West End when Stan Bowles got the most stick I've ever heard any visiting player get

I was there when we finally got to play at Wembley after so long and despite knowing we were going down showed that we are a big club and we still had pride in it.

Although 45,000 others were there too.

'Stanley, Stanley where's your wife' - He turned to the West End and shrugged his shoulders as if to say 'Dunno' Brilliant fun. Followed by 'Stanley Bowles is a homosexual' followed by 'That's why she left him' etc. Some of the best off the cuff chants I've heard at a match.
