barmyowl1212 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 My top 10 as follows: 1. 3-2 vs Man Utd 1991 2. 1-0 vs Man Utd 1991 cup 3. 2-1 vs Sheff Utd cup semi 1993 4. 4-2 vs Hartlepool play off 2005 5. 4-1 vs Norwich, league, 2008 6. 4-2 vs Blackburn, cup semi, 1993 7. 4-1 away against Everton, 1994 8. 3-3 vs Southampton, league, 2007 (i think) 9. 4-0 vs Watford, league cup q final, 2002 10. 2-2 vs kaiserslauten, uefa cup, 1993 Two from Di Canio and one from Pembridge I think although I was soooo pissed. Didn't arrive at the pub opposite the ground until at least 5 past 11 (bloody women drives, no wonder Richard divorced her!) so had some catching up to do. Pissed up for the Hartlepool game also but remember every second of it. look at the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent ones that came to my head were the 3-2 VS reading, 2-0 down at half time. Think it was Sibons last game. Donny away, Maclean hatrick. Leeds away, Brunt from 40 yards, and obviously the leicester 3-1, sat in their end, i think i came in my pants when clarke scored.

abrodie2002 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Cheers lads and lasses, some good suggestions there.... btw this is all for a section in the new SWFC complete history book which is being put together. UTO!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Some good suggestions there. One that sticks out in my mind that hasn't been mentioned is: Wednesday 3-1 Liverpool (93 or 94 can't remember?) Purely because I f*cking detest Liverpool Football Club.

Rogers Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Chelsea league cup semi final 2nd leg The first leg was good also. 2-0 I think. Sheridan and Worthington did their special free kick, where Worthy runs over the ball and Shezza plays it down the wing for him to cross and we score. Hooray!! Some of the Oldham games in 91 were good. 2 - 2 at home, Sheridan with 2 penalties. All of the Man Utd games when we beat them. The West Ham "Waddle Game" has to be up there in the top 10.

Guest Crooky Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hey need a little help here guys & gals.... What i'm asking is what do you think are SWFC's greatest 20 games in their history. I'm not talking about YOUR top 20, i'm talking about the clubs top 20 e.g. Boxing day massacre, first FA cup win....etc! Muchos appreciated all!!! I enjoyed beating the Dingles 3-0 away. Also beating Pigs a few time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using what criteria? - Victories against the odds? - Clinching titles / trophies / league division status? - Meaning most in terms of income secured as a result? - Meaning most to the average supporter? - Game as a spectacle, regardless of result? Most people will give their most memorable games, but you specify SWFC's history as the defined timeframe - I don't expect you'll get many votes for performances like the 1935 Cup Final but using any criterion this (and others outside living memory) has to be a contender. Are you asking just as a matter of interest? For some kind of research project? To get the fans talking football again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstyno9 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Has anyone mentioned Crystal Palace away when we qualified for Europe 91/92? That was amazing, Paul Williams scored for us, from a great Shez cross but Brighty equalized for them in the last minute. I think we took 5 or 6,000, and as the Palace players were doing their end of season lap of honour the Chelsea V Arsenal result came in (1-1) and we all went absolutely mental. That's got to be up there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely 2-0 Other games of note there was a big scoring game against Man Utd in the late 60's/ early 70's ( I did not go to this ) 4-2 win against newcastle 83/84 2-0 away at Cardiff 83/84 ( Are you reading this Mr. Seeds ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 As said before the 'Waddle' game Vs West Ham 5-0 that was a amazing game, Waddle was immense. David Burrows could not wait for that game till end, bet he needed a lay down after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal M Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Apologies if it's already been said, but Wednesday 5-1 Hull in August 1990 was a huge game. I think it was our first home game after relegation and it really set the club up for a storming season and our immediate return to the top flight. I suppose the crushing defeats that have cost managers their jobs should could also be considered? They are "Top" games in terms of the effect they have on the club. So recent examples would be that hammering away at Colchester which saw the end of Sturrock and then December's surrender at Leicester. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.

matt68owls Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 i think the 2-1 win v southend in 1976 was one of the most important. imagine playing in the 4th division. boxing day 1979, see a precedent for the next 20 years of finishing above the pigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Also Bristol City 1991 - 3-1 I think, to clinch promotion. Their keeper Leaning had the game of his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ak15 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Boxing day massacre Still holds the record for the highest attendance for a third tier English football match Man Utd 3-1 at home in ’98 Beating the world’s richest club in their most successful season ever (won the treble in ’99) in front of a sell-out crowd Palace at home in ’84 (1-0) Iconic game, back in the big-time after 14 long years 5th round FA cup tie against Man City in Feb ‘34 2-2 draw at Hillsborough, 72,000 turned up for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Baggins Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Having loads of mates who are Leeds fans makes the 6-2 drubbing of them up there in the greatest for me. Especially when one of there goals was courtesy of a Des Walker clearance off fatty Broline's face!! CLASS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
