Yeah I don’t think there was a penalty save.
Yeah I don’t think there was a penalty save.I don't remember a penalty save, Oggy made a couple of brilliant saves at the end as Spurs were pushing for an equaliser
I remember 1986 we beat QPR last game of the season to stay up - George and John had just took over with 3 games to go - great atmosphere in the West Terrace.
It certainly was… QPR very lively.That was an eventful day
Villa away. 92Here’s some vague clues that someone might be able to piece together…I remember listening to a final game of the season, where due to the scores it was us rather than Luton going down. The scores changed and Luton were relegated.
I was probably about 12.
I hope that’s all the information you need.
If I remember that game had a bit of the 1977 about it. By half time I think a draw was enough for plays off for us and for them to stay up hence the poor spectacleHow can anyone forget the quality free flowing champagne football of Coventry v Morecambe on the final day of 2018?
You are, it hit the post and Perry Suckling caught the reboundI remember beating Norwich 2-1 to stay up and they had a header or shot that hit the post, that could have sent us down.
That's if I am remembering clearly

Some kid from Loughborough University scored for already relegated Notts County to send Luton down instead of us!
I was at Highbury that day, Tony Adam's bagged two, I believeI remember when we got caned 6-1 in 2 successive seasons on the last day v Liverpool at home & Arsenal away
Their mgr was Alan BallI remember that (and the pitch invasion), but I don't thunk it was nothing to play for.
I recall us having to match Man City's result. They went 2 nil down to someone (Liverpool?), and brought it back to 2-2, and everyone was very worried. That's how it stayed, though, and we stayed up.
Found out when I got home that Man City's manager (Reid?) had got mixed up, thought a draw was enough, and got his side to protect their point rather than go for the win when getting back into it.

May 85 home v champions elect Everton to stay up, score 4-1
Late 60’s?Here's a good one, 1970s Neil Martin scoring the winning goal in the last five minutes of the game to win 1. 0 against Leicester which relegated them to division two.

Bannister scoring for QPR I think.It certainly was… QPR very lively.
John Byrne, Ipswich were relegated with Birmingham and West BromBannister scoring for QPR I think.
The manager was Alan Ball (taken too soon)... Steve Lomas was doing the old 'take it to the corner flag' trick!Found out when I got home that Man City's manager (Reid?) had got mixed up, thought a draw was enough, and got his side to protect their point rather than go for the win when getting back into it.
Both final games were against the Champions that season if I recall correctly.I remember when we got caned 6-1 in 2 successive seasons on the last day v Liverpool at home & Arsenal away

Up to the halfway line, and back again…. Up to the halfway line, and back again….How can anyone forget the quality free flowing champagne football of Coventry v Morecambe on the final day of 2018?
I was there too - Clock end visiting supporters section, bang in line with the goal line - They scored seven that day, believe me.I was at Highbury that day, Tony Adam's bagged two, I believe
Funny old game football. We beat them in the same fixture just 3 months later, ably assisted by Lee Dixon's legendary own goal.I was there too - Clock end visiting supporters section, bang in line with the goal line - They scored seven that day, believe me.
Oggy clawed one back that had clearly gone over the goal line but both ref and linesman failed to spot it despite Arsenal claims.
