    1) Leeds United 1-2 Barnsley. 1989/90 season, a Tuesday night, their only home defeat of the season, and we completed an unlikely double after Mel Machin transformed us from relegation certainties to survivors. We fielded seven defenders in our team, and both subs, Archdeacon and O'Connell scored, winning from 1-0 down.
    2) Middlesbrough 0-1 Barnsley. 1989/90 again, a Tuesday night again, the penultimate game of the season and confirming our survival. Notable for John Dennis celebrating in front of the away end.
    3) Huddersfield 1-3 Barnsley. 2006 season play off semi final. Just because I thought we had no chance, especially at half time when we'd been absolutely sh.it and created nothing. Thank the Lord for that soft penalty given to Paul Hayes.
    4) Brentford 3-1 Barnsley, 1993. My 92nd football league ground meaning at the time I'd completed the full set. Also notable for being Machin's final game in charge I think.
    5) Sheff United 0-1 Barnsley, 1996/97 season. A John Hendrie goal sent us top for Christmas, and also was really the game and result that made everyone believe that promotion to the Premier League that season was a realistic possibility.

    Re: Looks like it. mate

    My first game was against Port Vale (I think) when I was about 10 (1966 ish). I went with my dad for a couple of years then lost interest but returned to the fold when Clarkie arrived in 1978.

    That Rotherham match is still right up there with the best matches I've ever seen. I've got the ITV highlights on DVD if you want a copy.

    I'd almost forgotten that game at Stoke, when we were 3-1 up (Currie was unstoppable) and they were awarded a goal which never crossed the line. Me and my dad were in line and I never saw any of the ball behind the line.

    My first game

    Was the opening match of the 1968/69 season, a 3-2 defeat to Barrow on 10th August. I was hooked. The following season, my Late Father bought me my first season ticket and I've had one ever since. Many thanks for your kind offer, mate. As it happens, I already have it. But your generous offer is very much appreciated, thank you.

    Number 5, that game at Walsall.

    A tin shed full of Reds singing "Let's all have a disco".

    Brilliant.

    I almost agree

    However, I would also pick Hull City when (I think) we won 4-3 with a last minute goal from (I think) Andy Duggan.

    Also Swansea away in the league cup, lost 3-2 but won on aggregate. Superbly placed chip from Neil Cooper with his knee to put us through to the famous Brighton game at Oakwell where Trevor Aylott scored from 180 yards with an exquisite lob.

    I thought Aylott was stood just outside the Dove Inn when he shot?

    Actually he was in the Outpost car park, it was rather wind assisted. Still one of the best Barnsley goals I've ever seen at Oakwell.

    Only bettered

    By Barnard's against Huddersfield, in my opinion. It was also one of the best games of football I've seen from a Barnsley team.
