Dont look back in anger

[Foggy]

I was out walking the dog last night and thinking about one special moment in my time of following STFC and the memory that will stay with me till my dieing day will be...The sound of the ball clipping the post from Craig Maskells shot in the play off final, That "Ping" still sends shivers down my spine.So come on folks what was your one special memory of this great club that WE love?

[Sippo]

One memory for me was at the manor when turbo scored those goals...with it being a local derby, the fights, the passion, the celebrating and taunting...

[Peter Venkman]

Winning our very first Championship away at Mansfield in the 80's and Mansfield playing we are the champions for the 3,000 travelling Swindon fans and Lee (chunky the monkey) Barnard baring his arse in front of us!

Fuck me...in nearly 35 year I have had too many to list, great days.

Fallon at Brighton in the PO's I loved - obviously it all went heartbreakingly wrong but my god what a moment.

The whole game was like that other than for the result. We were all over them don't look like nicking a goal and SSP scores to level things - fucking superb. Then Fallon one on one seems to take an eternity to hit the net, but when it does the celebrations were unforgetable- unfortunately so to was the result. We should have gone on from here to kill the game off and not waste time

Play off final, and Beasts goal last season to send us up, but too many to list.

Top times.

For stiking in the mind the Maskell in off the post has to be a winner.  For a moment I remember with the fondest of thoughts, between Mcloughlin's deflected goal in 1990, the post match celebration at Tranmere in 1993 or watching the Stoke fans doing a massive conga around the Bank in 1988/89 when we stiffed them 6-0 with Bamber getting an OG no his return.

A miraculous win away to West Ham, they absolutely dominated the whole match and somehow Nicky Hammond, who had the game of his life kept them out. Steve white comes on late to win a penalty which is despatched cooly by Paul Bodin.

The West Ham fans were fuming after the match and I took a couple of punches on the way back to the car!

AWESOME!!!

[Ardiles]

Bollocks to that.  Be angry...very ****ing angry.  We're not dead yet.  Suggest we leave our reminiscing until the future of the club has been secured.

Now is the time to start piling the pressure on to Wills and Diamandis.  If the majority can't see the way these men have been using the club for their own ends now, then they never will.

(The Maskell goal was more of a crack, I thought.  Once I had the bizarre, and slightly macabre, idea that I'd like the sound of it playing on a loop in my coffin.)

Charlie Henrys goal v Wigan at home in the play offs - the echos of Charlie Charlie Henry around the ground will stay with me forever

the comeback v Birmingham and the 2 play offs finals of course - I too remember that Ping on the post from Maskell

our first win in the Premiership was pretty good too!

Wasn't that against the Jills? I'm sure Wigan at home was a 0-0 draw after we'd won 3-2 at their place.

Anyway, as Ardiles says, now's not the time for reminiscing - now's the time to fight to save the club from these bastards.

In my memory I do actually hear the ping of the board going in off the post for Maskell's goal, although I know I was at the other end of Wembley, which was packed with nearly 80,000 screaming people, so there's no bloody way I heard it except on video afterwards.

However, that's not the moment that really sticks with me.

That comes from earlier in the Hoddle promotion season during the period when the team were really playing fantastic football. It was just after the best 0-0 draw I have ever seen, the Newcastle away game that was televised. We had Southend at home and we're playing  great passing, attacking football. About 10 minutes in and we're 2 nil up, thanks to Dan Maskell.

Then about half way through the 1st half, we're attacking the Bank, Kerslake has possession on the right, and Ling is backing up moving through midfield. Kerslake turns, and rolls the ball back to Lingy who's in space. In my mind's eye he's just outside the centre circle, but he's probably about 25 yards from goal. As the ball is rolled to him at pace from Kers he gets his toe under it and chips it up like a kid setting himself up in a game of "headers and volleys", and smacks it. Top corner 3-0 up.

Of course we stopped playing in the second half and were lucky to hang on for a 3-2 win but that goal from Lingy is one of the things that replays in my mind when I think of the good old days.

[magicroundabout]

my fondest memory was Mcloughlin's deflected goal in 1990.
Sitting on a bus full of pissed up town fans back to Burford and proudly showing the picture of Ossie from inside the programme to all Leicester fans as we passed them out of london.

Also returning back to Burford again in 1993 but this time on a de-tour of Oxford city centre.
We had horns and singing all the way through the town. fucking brilliant

[juddie]

I agree with Ardiles, it ain;t over yet...

But several things stick out for me.

Birmingham 6-4
Invincibles goal v posh
that 5/10 minutes when we were in the play-off final in Brighton, until they equalised
west brom away on 9/11, when we played them off the park and lost 2-0

too many to mention, which is why we can;t give up.

I remember that trip to Newcastle...Oh my, all crammed in that shitty little corner but what a great game and atmosphere!
