I was in Pen 2 of the Kop and it exploded, I think we lost the next replay, but just for that moment I was so deleriously happy I could have wept. Even the coppers were cheering and clapping!
Dim and distant past so forgive any errors in facts.
Also a 4-2 win against Man City in the cup, even earlier I think, 42,000 (or something like) all the kids were passed over head to the front and we sat on the gravel - magic moments.
That moment stands out for me too, and there was touching 40,000 there as well. Lost the replay, replay at home 0-1 with Radford scoring it, again that was a dubious goal....
Also the FA cup match against Shrewsbury, where we wer 2-1 down with Wallington not knowing where he was after taking a bad knock, we had 3 different keepers that day and we still won 5-2
