    I'll start with Glavin against Newport. Last home game 1980/81. Needed to win by 2 clear goals and hope Rotherham slipped up at home to win the title. Word came through that Rotherham were only drawing and Glavin scored a ht trick in about 9 minutes, two of the goals picking the ball up in his own half and dribbling through the entire defence to score. Without doubt the greatest player ever to play for us!(worship)

    What about Neil Redfearn against Bolton Wanderers in the promotion season at our ground? The game was exactly what Redders was all about. We went 2-0 down to a very good side, but Redfearn dug in and he turned it around with two goals. We should have won in the end. But you could just see from the performance Redfearn put in that we weren't going to get beaten, he was everywhere.

    My particular favourite was Steve Coopers (RIP)...

    against Wigan I think in the league cup..</p>

    Mr Cooper decided he wanted the ball of one of players by attempting GBH on him. One two footed 'tackle' later and the aforementioned player is stretchered off with 2 broken legs.</p>

    just think

    that would have been splashed across every paper in the world nowadays as total savagery
    how times change

    too young to have seen cooper play - was he as good as people make him out to be? was he as good as glavin?

    Cooper was a lunatic...

    Legend.</p>

    RE: cooper

    Cooper was good with David Currie, they actually had quite a respectable partnership. But you knew you'd get 100% from Cooper. I liked him.

    RE: cooper

    Who did we play on Hignetts debut? Remember he scored two and missed a penalty.

    Stevie Cooper....

    Great entertainment, god bless him! Anyone remember when we at Leicester? 2-0 up and playing them off the park; then he went up for the ball with that Steve Walsh bloke and they ended up scuffling. The rest of the Leicester players joined in, Cooper was surrounded, and you could see the odd blue=shirted player's head being knocked back as Coops swung out. A red card followed, but that Walsh didn't even get booked. And the referee ended up being totally biased - on one occasion giving Leicester a free-kick in the area when Taggart had shielded the ball out - and we drew 2-2.

    RE: just think

    look no further than Craig Hignett in the play off final in 2000. He was phenominal and if the other 9 outfield players had played half as well as him we'd have gone up.

    different types of player

    i am just old enough to remember coops. different type of player - from what i remember the phrase "non nonsense" was created for coops. i'll never forget the goal after the currie backheel in fa cup v stoke. sell out crowd in the standing days - i was sat on me dads shoulders and could just about see coops' trademark somersault after he scored! he had a bit of the redfearn mentality about him.

    a true legend

    RIP Coops

    RE: different types of player

    For that Stoke game the official gate was about 21,000 which was somewhat of a mystery to me as they sold out in the Spion Kop and it was choc-a-bloc in the home sections. The Stoke fans were all waving inflatable pink panthers

    Although most of us tend to remember goalscoring feats, what about McCarthy at Anfield in 1982 or Watson v Coventry in the Premiership?

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    David Currie vs Bournemouth, circa 87-88? Scored four and then for the only time in his reds career he unselfishly squared the ball to Dobbin to tap in the 5th when he could have equalled the club individual scoring record had he taken it himself.

    Currie scoring four

    I vaguely (and probably incorrectly) remember that that was his first hat-trick for any club - never scored 3 before he scored 4. Dunno why I remember that, even if it's true. Weird.

    Bruce Dyer away win at Stadium of Light, Sunderland

    Ashley Ward sent off; Dyer ran their defence ragged even though he was on his own up front - brilliant.
