Being only 17 I have seen only a few highs over the years: -Survival in 2008 on the last day -A 4-1 win at Wembley -Promotion this season -etc... Was wondering what everyone's proudest or most memorable moment has been. Mine has to be the final game this season. I have experienced pitch invasions previously as a Saint but this time it was simply unbelievable with the positivity, the players, management, the fans and of course the fantastic atmosphere! Love this club! COYR!
Standing at Wembley in 1976 watching fully grown Manure fans balling their eyes out at the end of the game.
Also only being young, mine are limited to a recent years but : 1) Reaching the FA Cup final. 2) Leon Crouch and Lawrie Mcmenemy pleading for every £ possible before the game that we were relegated from the Championship (2-2 v Burnley) 3) Watching that pre-match video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BKiNwz0EU0) against Ajax with the introduction of Markus. 4) Going mental when hearing about Fonte's goal at Brighton, finally believing we'd do it. 5) Beating Reading 2-1 at the Mad Stad when everyone had written us off as 'gonna get trumped 5-0 with such a young team' There's more but I'd be here all day...
Well i am probably the youngest on this board and i have been limited to the good times. For me, the three top moments would be : 1. Promotion this season - Has to be hearing radio solent's kris temple screaming LAMBERT for the first goal at Plymouth. 2. Survival in 2008. 3. JPT final. I was in the top tier of wembley. I also have to add, 4. Sitting quietly with clenched fists of delight in the bournemouth stand whilst Deano ran to celebrate.
That game against Wimbledon, when the away fans turned the whole stadium red and white. Regrettably, I gave my ticket to my son..what can I say, I'm a mother. He told me about the coach of Japanese tourists who got caught up in our convoy and were snapping pictures of everything.
- Wembley (JPT) obviously - Pitch invasion against Sheff U after staying up - Beating arsenal 3-2 on my Birthday, with a young arsenal fan a guest at the Birthday - Beating Watford to get to the Final at the Millenium - The day Markus Liebherr waved to us at St Mary's against Ajax. It was the start of the wave we're riding ATM. As I'm so young (18) it's pretty tough to come up with stuff as the early 90s were a blur (still remember us beating Ipswich 4-3 at the Dell though) and late 00's were ****ty with the relegations and Woopert clinging on.
Second was Markus and his camera at the JPT. Third MLT getting the final goal at The Dell, against Arsenal, but there are many many more.
Our cup finals were proud moments of course, but a proud SFC player moment was when Le Tiss was given a chance to get into the England team by Hoddle. He turns up, scores a hat-trick, hits the wood-work a couple of times & still doesn't make the team. I was very proud of him.
Most memorable has to be my first game. 4-1 at the Dell against that great Liverpool team of the late 80's. Barnes, Rush, Beardsley etc. The other is the last game at the Dell. Matty's goal. The whole place exploded, louder than I'd ever seen. And third is the two season where we demolished Man U 3-1 and 6-3, including the infamous shirt change.
Youngish fan too but gotta be: Proudest - pre Ajax game when Markus and pardew waves to the crowd and that video. - watching us win at Wembley and that entire day - the incredible atmosphere at the wallsall game as the players came onto the pitch, the game itself and of course, the ending which although some people did not agree with I thought it was a fitting end to a wonderful season, with the players on the balcony! -when lambert scored at Plymouth Most memorable: - most memorable is a sad one for me when I woke up and was told Markus had died a very very sad day, but will remain with me forever. Thought the tributes outside the club were incredible and very moving, forever a saint
Hmm... My favourite Stevenage Football Club moment, you ask? Probably when they beat Torquay in the Play-Off Final last week.
Dellhurst Park was great aginst Wimbledon, JPT final of course, but my favourite moment was 97/98 season when David Hirst got a late winner for us at Anfield. I was in the Kop end as I had got a ticket from a Liverpool season ticket holder, on the promise that I didn't attract attention - Fat chance when the goal went in, and I only got out alive because the Scousers couldn't believe how f**&^%$ stupid I was, and treated me like I was a bit special
Yeah! Feels like an age ago now. Was listening to it on the radio before going into the cinema. Loved it.
1. The whole day going up to Villa Park and the result was amazing, hence going to Cardiff too Also last game at the dell beating arsenal and the second to last game beating man utd Suppose getting relegated is the most memorable moment at football match for me.
