I can’t remember much about the game but I do remember leaving the game away to Notts County, knowing we had won and MY team had got to Wembley. The feeling at the time was immense. The Gas were going to Wembley, and so was I! Browner’s right foot was something else though and the celebrations on Gloucester Road are unforgettable. UTG

The only issue with browner was that we still had 5 minutes after that praying Accrington didn’t score. Beauty of Sammy and Mansell moments were that it was closure.
Mansell though for me. To stay in that league for another season could have spelt the end.

Gary smart smashing in a 30 yarder at Ashton. To call it day light robbery, would be an understatement. I was in the Williams stand with my grandad going absolutely mental, whilst he was sh**ting him self😂

Justin Channing hitting the first of the four against City, if I had the talent and ability to hit it that hard and that true I wouldn’t have wasted it!

I would replace Gareth Taylor at Wembley v Huddersfield, I would not have missed ,we would have gone on to win and the last 20 odd years we would have had in the Championship(at least!) PS sorry peterparker,you were first, but don't bloody miss!!

It’s still amazing to me he decided to lash that shot, on the turn with his laces. The possibility’s of another option are endless, that would have definitely seen us 2-1 up. Take a touch, pass it in the net. First time cushioned volley on the inside of his right foot. Chest it down and finish even. It was never on for a header, I’ll give him that but the keeper was on his knees and 3 yards from goal. Quite incredible. Let’s not mention Marcus Browning in the last minute neither, another shot completely snatched at which merely required a first touch and inevitable tap in.

Was that the rebound after Stewie hit the bar from 30 yards?

Lambert's goal against the sh** in JPT. Me as well. Btw has anyone seen the WSC season preview about clubs and where they will end up? Each team has about 250 words to encapsulate where they think they will end up. Well the Bristol City fan, a John Chapman, wasted some of his self review by saying ”We have not played the lesser Bristol team in the league since 2001, so they are irrelevant.” Why? And by doing exactly that he proved our relevance. Doh! What an idiot. UTG! ps Mods please feel free to move as it’s not strictly Rovers-related.

Taylor’s sitter was from the header that came back off the upright, with the keeper kneeling. Besides Marcus’ lovely equaliser right on half time, all composure was lost in the final third that day that had served us so well all season.

Sammy Igoe at Wembley. Seeing his little legs run as fast as they could and then the ball crawl slowly over the line making promotion an inevitability was truly awesome. I hadn't realised that the Shrews goalie had gone up for the corner - and because everyone was standing up I couldn't see the goalmouth so thought that Sammy had hit a really pathetic shot that the goalie would save easily. "Tw*t!" I shouted and sat down exasperated, only to have all kinds of mayhem erupt all around me. Happy Days!

To stay in that league for another season could have spelt the end. The 5 minutes was one of the most memorable bits. THAT roar that swept across the ground when the Accrington result came in was incredible and I still watch it back now.

One for us old ones.... Micky Barrett at Newport..... oh the joy that night I was there when Micky had a beauty ruled out for someone offside, nowhere near interfering with play but them was the rules then. Certainly not joyful that night.

All of the above!
Probably Browner, but then again being Billy Ocean and scoring a volley like that in front of the Kop would have been great too.
A new one to chuck in to the pot...anyone remember Ollie's goal against Ipswich in a cup match at Eastville? Ran in to the box and hit a sweet volley that arrowed in to the top corner. I was a kid then and remember thinking it was the best goal I'd ever seen at the time!

Paul randell scoring at the east end,the locals weren't happy, followed by Gary smart, then beadle, then Lambert jpt,but any goal against the sh1t would do me.
