    For me would have to be the league cup game v Man City in the early 80s - 33,700 if I recall correctly. Think it cost £1.70 to get in

    Not sure which had the higher attendance, Man City or Liverpool in 1982 but I were at both oh and the Everton game mentioned above.

    Everton 15.1.63 30011

    The 6th round cup replay against Leicester on 8.3.61 attracted 39250 - to a Wednesday afternoon 3.15 kickoff! It was deemed a step too far for me, aged 8, so I spent the afternoon at school. Daydreaming of Oakwell.

    Man City. Great goal by Aylott. McCarthy had the City strikers under wraps. Great game. I actually hugged a total stranger when we scored. Probably get arrested now....

    Everton in 1989 for me and the first replay v Sheff Utd the following season. The Man City game in 1981 was a case of being allowed to stay up and watch it on Sportsnight.

    Man City 81 for me. Sad to say I doubt we'll ever see much more than 20k in Oakwell again in my lifetime.
