Daylight robbery I should coco, the most one sided match ever. City dominated for almost the whole game, hitting the crossbar and post on numerous occasions, plus David Mehew had to go in goal for 20 minutes whilst Timmy Carter received treatment for concussion in the first half. Yet, somehow, we still managed to come away with a 1-0 win after a wonder strike from Gary Smart after 87 minutes. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-flashback-day-bristol-rovers-4035995UTG! |

Gas 2-1 Daggers
Didn't have to give it a second thought, it really was the absolute pinnacle for me!

Funnily enough I was just watching this with my lad on YouTube earlier today. He was shocked that the picture quality was so bad ‘in the old days’ ! |

Great thread but too hard!
BRFC 1 v 1 Man U. Great match and we should have won, we deserved to.
Man United 1 v 2 BRFC. Who’d have thought it Rovers winning at OT. So proud as a teenager to be able to have something to shout about at school.
Southend 0 v 0 BRFC. To finally clinch promotion with a great team, my first as a gashead.
BRFC 3 v 1 Shrewsbury. For the quality of goals and drama at the end. Walkers goals would have been in the top ten if they were in the PL. didn’t get the credit.
BRFC 1 v 0 **it. After all Johnson said.....
Grimsby 1 v 1 BRFC. No doubt the most important win in our history.
BRFC 2 v I Daggers. Again for the drama at the end, on the same ground only two years after our worst moment.
Difficult to choose but for the feeling after the match I’ll go for the Grimsby match for its pure importance. But I might change my mind later on different ages, different feelings!!
UTG!
ps I missed so much of the 80s and 90s for family stuff and distances and work stuff so it doesn’t register as high with me.

Might not be my favourite game ever but I have fond memories of us beating Northampton Town 6-0 away from home a couple seasons back. Bodin scored, got injured and then we came out of the gates all cylinders firing in the second half, scoring 5 fantastic goals in front of the travelling away support. Mint.

You r right! too hard, agree with all your picks though and a few more i am trying to put in order,! Walker was very under rated and you r right about his Wembley goals ,sublime finishes, just watched that Lincoln play off and his forward play stood out there as well, never hurried ,great hold up play, rarely wasted possession and the way he created space for the perfect cross for Ricki's goal was a lesson to any aspiring forward, as a finisher he is right up there in my estimation! |

One that normally goes largely unmentioned in such a thread, but for me (keeping away from the obvious picks) it has to be...
Reading 0 - 6 Rovers.
The Cureton and Roberts second half show, also Gurney’s debut for the Royals. We pummelled them.

Good list, think I'd only add the Notts County away 2nd leg 0-0 to get to Wembley for the first time. |

2nd of may 1990, need i say more. Every Rovers fan who was lucky enough to be at Twerton that night will 100% agree with you. It fckn meant something. Simply the greatest game of all time. I’m actually shocked they never made it into a feature film. The trade off being, we have to stand in water every other Saturday for the rest of our lives .Happy to oblige. |

For me it would either be the one nil win at City on New Year’s Day (I was not at the 2nd ofMay game😩), the Derby cup match, Shrewsbury at Wembley or Dagenham. In terms of enjoying the match, Derby is top because we played so well against a poor Premier League side and we could afford to enjoy it.
The other three were just very tense all the way through but all had magnificent endings but the Dagenham game eclipses the other two.
However, the most important game ever for me, but certainly not an enjoyable game, is the Wembley win against Grimsby to get us back in the football league.

If I could have one to re-live over and over again it would be the League cup game at Trashton in 91-92. 3-1 down going into it and then 4-1 down early on. Then the fightback began, awful football but my god what a night out in torrential rain, miserable conditions.
The final sight of seats being lobbed at their own players from the Dolman stand will live with me forever.
Would gladly hand over my big toe to re-live that again, absolutely skin tingling night out, the walk across Ashton park was made in absolute silence trying to suppress my laughter.
Went down to Trashton a week later to buy the video, narrated by Tosser Tottle. The woman in the shop said "You must be Gas, we've only sold 20 of them"........priceless. Shame I had to give them money for it but hey ho.

Can always remember getting dogs abuse from the Dolman at half time and then waving them in their way as it emptied later on. Brilliant |

Think my favourite game will be the next one we play. A sign we are returning to normal....whatever that is.
Stay well, keep safe everyone.
