What is your all-time favourite football game NOT featuring Hull City? You may include games involving Hull City players such as internationals. If you can find a youtube clip of your game, all the better - post it too. My choice is the 1960 European Cup Final between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt. Real won 7-3. I remember watching this game on the TV when I was a lad. All these years later, it remains my favourite. I still marvel at the speed of Gento on the wing and the power of Puskas' left foot.
As a youngster in the 60s my father used to take me to the Xmas Day & Boxing Day Tyne/Wear derbys the passion and atmosphere was incredible. On the flip side I cried after Stoke knocked us out of the FA Cup with the winning goal coming from a throw that should've been ours !!!!....In my young mind I was convinced we were going to Wembley that year lol
I can't pick one, but I'll give you my top 3. Coincidentally they happened at the European Championships: Czech Republic 3-2 Netherlands, Euro 2004 Spain 4-3 Yugoslavia, Euro 2000 England 4-2 Croatia, Euro 2004 (I was actually at this game)
Having a think about it the majority of my favourite games happened at the Euros, particularly Euro 2000.
Spurs 3 man city 4 in the fa cup, man city 3 down and down to ten at ht, working in a pub full of spurs fans, that second 45 mins was pure hilarity and simply uunbelievable football, I cheered like a man city fan that day when the 4th went in.
This one Watched it off my tits in the Green Goblin on Holloway road with a Humber Pilot, an Italian gangster and a bunch of ****ing cockerneees. The Goblin did great Thai food at the time too
Yep, that was going to be my shout - back when I cared about England just as much as I did about City.
England 4 West Germany 2 Sunderland beating Leeds in the cup final was a great day Manchester united beating benfica in the European cup final at wembley.... Fav city game was v Stoke in the fa cup even though we was robbed .
Top three which I attended: England v Hungary. Wembley1953. Such a shock as I had never seen football played like it - Hungary hammered us 6-3. Sheffield Wed v Everton. Wembley 1966. Last match before leaving the UK. Yorkshire side surrenders a 2-0 lead and loses 3-2. Groundhog day occurs 48 years later! Barcelona v Arsenal. Camp Nou 2010. Messi 4 Arsenal 1. What a night to remember!
Hard to pick from these 2: '58 World Cup Final in Stockholm & 3rd place playoff between France & West Germany. Kopa & Fontaine for France, Pele, Didi, Vava were a revelation. Not many games were televised in those days, but the BBC did these two. Gran had got the telly for the coronation, so her house was packed that weekend.
This would be the game for me too. The level of optimism and hope during and (for the short time) after that game was amazing.
1966 World Cup Final Chelsea v Liverpool 1987 last game i saw in UK before migrating 1-0 to Liverpool,won the league.Dont like either team but a great atmosphere.
I have a terrible memory for this sort of stuff but a few I can think of Stoke 3 - 5 Liverpool from last season Barcelona 5 - 0 Real Madrid Barcelona 8 - 0 Osasuna Man Utd 8 - 2 Arsenal But I'm going for this one it was a crazy game
