    Millennium stadium was brilliant too. It was bedlam when Colgan saved that last pen. Our first success in a playoff competition.

    I’d like to throw 80s games Southampton 2-1 and West Ham 5-2 away into the mix as well.

    A more forgotten one but great game would be Bradford away in a cup mid 2000s. 5-3? To the reds. End to end game that went to extra time,

    So many

    Watching Glavin, guy was pure genius
    1981/82/83 that team should have gone up to Div 1 and would have stayed there.

    Promotion season 96/97
    Cup run 97/98
    1st visit to Wembley 2000
    Millennium playoff final
    2008 cup run
    2-2 at Huddersfield great escape
    Double under Hecky
    Stendal promotion

    Missed out on 96/97 by a few years :mad:

    That said, experienced plenty that others have mentioned post-prem - Liverpool away and Chelsea at home in the cup and all of the Wembley/play off wins.

    A leftfield one was one of my first away league wins, the 4-3 at Peterborough where we went 3-0 and conceded 3 in about 10 minutes, then Craig Davies made it 4-3.

    Speaking of Craig Davies, the 5-0 at Birmingham under Keith Hill was amazing too. Don't think we'd won away for about 8 months or something stupid, barely a few hundred Reds down there for a televised game - absolutely battered them and should've had 10. Had a few stonking wins there in my lifetime.

    Even above the Bradford promotion game.. mine are a bit less in stature but mean more to me.
    in the Richie era.. the third goal at Hudders in the play offs by Nards.. when that one hit the net and we knew we'd won the semi..but the follow up was better.
    Then the Colgan pen save vs Swansea in the play off final.. was as good as it gets for me.
    I think because I didn't think we'd beat Swansea in there own back yard

    Glavin scoring at Bellend Road (2-1 to the Reds) has to be one of the best. Ran the length of the field from our box to theirs and coolly slotted it in.

    Another good one was just before the FA Cup semi final, Tuesday night at Oakwell against Ipswich, Brian Howard hat trick (4-1). The Ponty End atmosphere was absolutely buzzing.
