    Think that is right, but not sure from which season.

    It would have been equalled (or broken) at Huddersfield but we lost 1-0.

    Cue posts of I was there, 50,000 tarn fans in every bit of the ground :D

    That's the one!

    As I remember it was a 1-0 thrashing. In an away local derby we played some good football, created chances but couldn't put them away, then let in a dodgy goal due to a defensive lapse.

    Now where have I heard that before?????

    I was there!

    Crowd was 28,901 in a season where Hudds averaged about 10K. It was rammed everywhere and we got crushed behind the goal. I wa only a baird mind.

    Week after we went up to Boro and lost 2-1 in the FA Cup. Greatest ever time to follow tarn.

    No it was the Glavin, Banks, McCarthy, Aylott period.
    Think it was 21 games in 1981 and ended with 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield. We got our revenge though when we went on to clinch promotion ahead of them.
    Best side we ever had (ever will have) imho.
    A great time to be a Reds fan!

    Even better than the 96-97 side?

    It'd definitely be interesting to defy the laws of time and have those 2 sides play each other in their prime.</p>

    maybe it's looking back thro' rose tinted specs but the 81/82 side played the more 'pure' football imho. It's only looking at some of the games on youtube that it really sinks in how sublime a player Ian Banks was in those days. Alongside the craft of Ronnie Glavin and Ray McHale anchoring the midfield, it really was a privelege to witness that team. If they'd have managed to get into the topflight back then, when money didn't dictate success as much as it does now, I genuinely think that team would have held its own with very few additions.</p>

    Sadly, I'm a bit too young to have seen that side play, but if you say they played purer football than even the 96-97 side then they must have been pretty phenomenal to watch. My only experience of Ian Banks is second time around, but even then his vision was at times incredible, despite his lack of mobility.

    A bit too much ale had affected him when he came here the 2nd time !</p>

    Had he come through the ranks these days a Prem side would have signed him up straight away.</p>

    I remember after the Sheff U cup match at Bramall Lane which finished 2-2 but Banks missed an open net just before half time to make it 3-1 to us - for some reason after the match he got on to our coach for a chat with someone. My young ears had never heard so many colourful phrases as rung around the bus when he appeared (with his very fit, perma-tanned wife).

    He's had 2 cracking wives has Mr Banks. (Both his own I'd hasten to add)

    Gary Lineker reckoned Banks

    was the best english midfielder never to get a cap.

    He was very,very good.

    This will be seen as blasphemy by some but he was on balance a greater influence than Glavin. One of the best home grown players we have ever produced. Ray McHale was also very undersung.
