Here’s an enjoyable few minutes, there is an awesome rendition of Irene and a brilliant game I count probably as my best in my short lifetime
Feel free to add yours.
I’d also add the Barry Hayles header v Orient (think it was orient?) and of course, Wembley and Dagenham

We just got sky in our house (big deal then) as a 15 y/o I remember it well. Was meant to go shopping with me then girl. Found out it was on sky and told her I can’t go shopping, I’m ill. She turned up at my house halfway through the game, I had to pretend to be ill, but couldn’t hide it when that equaliser went in. We didn’t last, lesson being my now 18 years long (sadly not old) girl friend is a gashead and we both hate shopping.
Don’t know how to post vids, but won’t be long till we see browners goal, and Ricky v the sh**, and litte igoe’s Wembley wonder goal.
Utg.

Happy days indeed, not sure which scenes i enjoyed most, the joy of the Gas heads or despair of the Teds, on reflection and not in the spirit of the season i think it's the latter!

My first away day in the FA Cup against Derby County, this recap doesn't quite capture the atmosphere of GulfofAden's video but a brilliant day for all of us who where there. Can't remember whio eventually knocked us out, Everton at home maybe?

As Gas goal celebration go , the Gary Smart one has to be in the top three in my lifetime. I think the term they use nowadays is Limbs 😂

Strange times now, on the one hand not having Christmas marred by a disappointing Rovers result, on the other i do miss the holiday fixtures! History tells us that ,hard though it is to believe, we used to have results like; Christmas Day 1956 Bury 7-2 Rovers , then incredibly on Boxing Day Rovers 6 -1 Bury ! A year later Swans 6-4 Rovers, followed by Rovers3-1 Swans! Thanks to Keith Brookman article for info, Amazing what the likes of Alfie and co could do after Christmas indulgences! i can.t imagine there like abstaining from the odd pint and Christmas fayre!

Around 6mins 40seconds, Goodnight Irene can be heard, followed by an absolute screamer from Beadle. City Dead Ken?

Great day out. Think we were knocked out by Gillingham in the next round.

Great day out. Think we were knocked out by Gillingham in the next round. Can’t remember if it was the FA Cup , but remember driving to Gillingham on a cold Tuesday night, stuck in traffic it took us hours and hours to get there. Pulled up, stretched our legs and a local came over in the saying “you know the match is off yeah?” 😞 Thank goodness for smartphones, nowadays someone in the car knows within seconds of a postponement.

You might be right, I remember the game fairly well and the moody atmosphere after. I think there were loads locked outside too and they let too many in. Can't remember what was so significant about the game at the time

Which was the game that we took 8K too ? I never went to Derby ( work) or Fulham ( locked up). I have regretted not pulling a sick day ever since.

My all time comment from that commentator that night was “it’s like silent night among the city fans but the stand away to my right it’s an absolute carnival” To think an entire generation has grown up without seeing a league derby match, the other thing that struck me was the physicality of the game. You would have had cards flying at so many of the tackles. I miss screen soccer too. Have no idea why they were treated so poorly and finding their kit in a skip, if that is to be believeed ?
