legendaryswan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Coming back from 2-4 down at home to Man United who had the likes of Best,Law,Charlton Stiles and Crerand in the side,had just been crowned as the first English champions of Europe a matter of months before was a monumental feat. Ive witnessed some great days,and games,but NOTHING trumps that day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 There been a few but Chris Waddles 30 yard thunderbolt at Wembley against those from the dark side is up there. Play off final in Cardiff when we took 46,000 fans and the home game against Wycombe when we got promoted instead of deem Blades. Further back the 90's when we sign good players but we're also link with good players, remember Barcelona beating us to Dani, we were in for a player competing with Barca. We have fallen, so far, under the current owner and I think we will fall further until he get his head our of his ... And realise the issue is him not everyone else.

Were they apologetic, did the spitter get kicked out? They took no action at the time and someone down the management org apologised in the following week. The McCabe's were too busy being bothered by my strategy of promoting an inclusive World Cup bid which resulted in Hillsborough being selected (which if anyone read the spec was inevitable) as a venue instead of Bramall Lane. As a result it turned out that undermined their latest property development money spinner at Bramall Lane all at the time when the McCabe will have known his big Scarborough £1Bn sale was imploding...... In any case I only had 15mins to get out of there after thanking them for their hospitality, and cross town without getting a speeding fine and get into my seat for the second half kick-off....which I did..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagesse Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 'Hit well...Wilson...!' Watching Roland Nilsson play, Watching Waddle play, watching Hirst play, watching Worthington play....you get the idea. Winning the Rumbelows Cup and having my picture taken with it in Crystal Peaks! Wycombe game with my daughter. The whole 'Mind the Gap' run-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjchitt86 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Talbot rounding the keeper in Cardiff then seeing the net bulge has to be up there as the most euphoric moment. Along with the feeling of turning a corner. The whole 'city is ours' story of pipping the pigs to 2nd that season was the stuff of dreams coupled with the feeling of turning a corner. Magic nights against Brighton and Arsenal in recent times and the feeling of turning a corner.... At least with the inevitable relegation on the horizon, we might have another promotion to celebrate in 3-4 years time. Just one more corner to turn for a full square!

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 1960-61 season we were on the boil trailing Spurs into runners up spot for the Championship. In that season we trailed Spurs by 8 points. However, the last 7 matches saw us drop 9 points, winning just one of those last 7 games. During the early 60's we were rarely out of the picture finishing 2nd div Champions 58/59 then not finishing out of the top 6 until 1965. The 59 /60 season saw our return to the Championship 1st Div with a bang finishing 5th and then being robbed blind at Main Road a fair goal of our ruled out and a decision going the wrong way in Blackburns favour. 61/62 finished 6th again but providing two memorable victories against Roma and Barcelona 4-0 and 3-2 respectively. Another 6th place finish in the 63/64 season. With our double German guests in Europe dispatching Utrecht home and away by the same 4-1 scoreline before coming unstuck in both legs v Cologne. Our epitaph as the nearly men was concluded on that fateful day at Wembley May 14th 1966 When Everton overturned a 2-0 deficit to leave us bereft. Just a few weeks earlier at Villa Park we nervously awaited the whistle as time ran down on a quagmire of a pitch when a cross came in at the Wednesday end McAlliog rose to head and the ball landed in the Chelsea net. Things could have been so different had we pushed the boat out just a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Mid sixties, not sure what date exactly. Me and mates going to White Hart Lane. We're both top teams, Spurs hadn't lost at home for years. We won 3-2. THEN,on the train back, guess who's in the same coach us, the entire team less Ron who still lived in London. We passed the match programmes round and all signed on their names on the team sheet. Not a bad day out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethman75 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe the promotion game to get us into the Champ in Cardiff, unreal day. Followed closely by Brighton 1st leg playoff, the crowd made me proud to be an Owls supporter, i thought we are going up for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
