Nostalgia! Your top three moments being a Wanderer

[Lord Kangana]

Is it safe to come back on here now ???

1. Genuinely the most emotional Ive ever been at a Wanderers match is Hierro's last match v Everton. Was in South Lower near his family and I'll never forget the scenes that day. Wasn't with us long but he was obviously much loved by the fans and his fellow players alike. And I've never seen a match stopped for 5 minutes while the whole team hugged him when he was subbed near the end of the game. And we won with 10 men !!

2. Play-off final v Reading. Remember saying to my 2 lads when Reading got the penalty; "If he scores this we're off home!". Branagan saves, and the rest is history !

3. Many others and I wouldnt like to pick one out. But 2 that stand out are the 6-1 (or 5-1) thrashing of Spurs when we were in 2nd Division (in 80's) in an early League Cup round, after we had beat Chelsea in previous round. And another that stands out, for some reason, is a 4-0 thrashing of Notts County at home (70s or 80s) when Willie Morgan ran the length of the pitch to score.

Happy times

Your memory is deserting you...

The Spurs game was in '96!

Thers too many really, but its worth a try..

1) Reading Play off final '95. You think Megson games were bad? Everyone seems to have forgotten the ineptitude we displayed in that first '45. Keith Branagan single-handedly turning the mood of the entire ground and the direction of the match. I like to think of it as his Neo (Matrix, Luddites) "No." moment. And then there was Fabian...

2) Munich Uefa cup 2007. Lisbon was more fun before and after the game, but you know, holding a European behemoth like Bayern in their own backyard with a bunch of reserves and a no-hoper in charge doesn't come around very often for a club like ours*. Pandemonium in the away end when Ricky scored, I couldn't even describe the mentalness when SKD (yes, that f*cking stump) smashed in the equaliser.

3) Birmingham away, 2011 FA Cup Quarter Final. Really. If you were there, and there were a few of us, our name was on the cup. And it was an absolutely cracking end-to-end cup tie. Obvious now that it was the high water mark, but we weren't to know that then.

*Sadly, the bunch of reserves and no-hoper in charge seems to be a default position of late.

Same three for me. Reading at Wembley was actually my second ever match - thought it was great this football stuff.

LK is right the first half against Reading was dire. But we had a lot of injuries IIRC. I mean second half we ended up playing McGinlay wide right and Coyle wide left.

It was an awesome game. Reading caught us cold, but from the penalty save you could just feel it was gonna turn.

However, we were still 2-0 down with about 20 minutes to go........

The League Cup semi at home to Swindon was a cracker as well, Mixu's goal nearly gave me a semi. What a hit.

What a night indeed. I remember that in The Times' match report, Mixu's shot was described as corruscating. I had to go and look it up. I can remember that but I couldn't tell you what I had for lunch on Monday!

If I had a pound for the amount of times I've heard that.....

I'd have 78p.

3- My dad giving me a season ticket for the last season at Burnden. Walking from my estate through Leverhulme park, to see all the fans flocking into the stadium. The atmosphere was amazing and the stadium packed. The last game there, i ended up with a bit of turf that a steward ripped up for me (died a few days later) , a fire extinguisher, some wooden panelling from burnden stand and a seat also from burnden stand which some bloke had to rip up for me as i was only 13. The PA said just before the end of the game, please dont take memrobilia as we're trying to sell it to raise funds for the club. As soon as the whistle blew it was carnage.

2 - Seeing mugson get sacked

1- easily for me, personally, the Reading play off final. Absolute emotional roller coaster, who thought fabs had it in him

As far as im aware, just the turf. But if CCTV caught him, the hierarchy might of had him lynched, as they would of lost at least a couple of quid in the auction

Can you imagine the scousers if they ever move stadiums? They'd have the whole place stripped before the players could get down the tunnel!
