Can't remember who we were playing but a centre-half kept fouling Johnny Durnin which not having the longest fuse was going to get a response (probably the intention). What was amusing was he checked that the Lino and Ref weren't looking and did a couple of rabbit punches to the centre-half. The Ref looked non-plussed at the opposition player on the ground as JD walked away as though nothing had happened, while the London Road was chanting "Ooh Johnny Lager".
The epic 5-5 draw with Pompey. The celebration when the 5th goal went in was joyous.
Les Phillips winning goal Vs Everton in our 1st season in the top flight. Being midweek, they were generally special then but that atmosphere was electric. For me that was when I believed we would stay up for sure.

Although it ended in tears eventually, I got quite emotional when Malcom Shottln was unveiled as the new manager to the fans.
Is my memory playing tricks or did they play Welcome Home as he applauded the fans?
Seem to remember us winning his first game 1-0 and then going on to stay up. Went pear shaped in the following season but he’s still a club legend.
I was born in 84 by the way, so never even saw him play!

I remember that, she wasn't particularly young or toned to say the least, and was egged on by about 5 male friends.

Hardly what I would call friends if they were chucking eggs at her.

Demonstrating on the pitch before the Wigan game when Maxwell wanted to merge us with Reading.

Singing ‘do I not like that’ to ex england manager Graham Taylor as we destroyed his Wolves team 4-0.
Joey repaying the scum fans by scoring our third in his first game v them since his departure.
Strangely, I fondly remember beating Millwall 1-0 in an FA cup replay sometime in the mid 90s
Oh, and the playoff semi v Rushden

Thick fog, Stuart Massey winner. Did enjoy that Millwall game too despite it being relatively innocuous.
