This game. We was stood at back of Ponty and feeling all jovial as it was our first home win that season and we set off with a "Machin give us a wave" and went all round the ground "Terrace give us a wave, away fans, linesman" the lot finishing on as the East Stand was being built and work had stopped for the game "Workmen give us a wave!" Brilliant stuff.
Darren Moore rugby tackling a Donny player who was clear through on goal, getting the red card he deserved but stopping them going 0-2 up, so we beat them 3-1 in the end (I think, JCR ripped them to pieces).
Carl Dickinson, gentle kind Carl, absolutely smashing some poor winger near us in the West Stand, standing over him and shouting down "get up you fkn m*ng!!" Some numpty sat near the dugout giving Mark Robins some stick and Mark inviting him onto the technical area if he could do better. Also, away at Huddersfield - THAT game with the two fingers and Frimpong....sat with a friend who's surname is Kennedy. Someone from behind us not too keen on our left back "Kennedy, tha's w*nk!!" "is your mum in?" I politely enquired of my friend.
Winston Campbell tearing Leeds United to pieces when we beat them 2-1 in November 1982. He'd skip past their defence then come back and beat them again just for fun, all in front of a national front mob from Leeds. Leeds players showed their class by refusing to shake Winnie's hand at the end of the game.
Sam Winnall and a soft toy Nathan Blake’s answer to the racist abuse from the Neanderthals in the Ponty I remember the Reds (? Gwyn Thomas) scoring against Norwich in front of the Ponty, when the ball rebounded off the stantion. The goal was given and Chris Woods chased the referee all the way to the halfway line claiming it never went in. He tantrummed for the next 10 minutes or so and I use that as an argument against goalline technology. Had it been in place back then we’d have been robbed of the future England goalie acting like a 2 year old
Malcolm Shotton rousing the crowd going into the last few minutes of the FA Cup game at Filbert St around 1990. Proper mudbath, big crowd, real cup tie.
Surprised no one has mentioned the fabulous penalty miss by Akinfenwa in the playoff final at Cardiff Also the atmosphere with the roof closed was probably the best I have ever experienced at a football ground
