Still gives me goosebumps. When Ossie hit the crossbar I was convinced that our chance had passed, seemed an age before the ball came back into Robbo. What a night that was, will forever be etched into the memory.

Blimey, 35 years ago! One of the games that stick in the memory.
I met Davies once and asked him, yes he was always a Spurs fan. Immensely proud of the fact that no one could ever tell from his commentaries, he worked hard to be impartial.
Motty's just a fucking anorak who's clueless. No way is he Spurs.
Davies and Brian Moore of ITV were the best commentators by far in that era. Moore was Gillingham, and hated it when they lost. I once saw footage (when no one knew the cameras were rolling) of the ITV group gathered on the pitch after post match interviews. They were trying to find out the other results (kids ask your parents). Turned out Gills had lost. One of the crew started laughing, Moore went ape, wanting to know who it was, threatening them with the sack.
It felt like a celebration that day rather than a year in the 2nd tier.
Loved that season.
Loved that season.
Just seen
That game was the start of our top 4 story and the day we overtook the Dippers
Trust me... I am sure that the 'likes' you receive in no way refer to the bit about you getting punchedIt's probably my favourite season for watching THFC.
Did all the home games, all London aways, plus Luton and Southampton.
Also got punched in the face by a Spurs fan, when coming out of the North Bank after the Pat Rice testimonial game
Was at that game. East upper D block.
Was with Mrs Yid7 the 1st, her sister, and her sisters other half, a Leeds fan and total legend, loved that man.
Actually put a bet on in the stadium, correct score, think it was Ladbrokes.
The winnings paid for a massive piss up and Ruby on Stevenage High Street when we got back.
One of the goals came from a free kick given inside the box for a back pass to the goalkeeper. Might have been the first goal conceded from that "New Rule".
Anyone remember who conceded that free kick?
Signed for us the following season if I remember correctly.
Over 46,000 for this one. They gave out ballot tickets for the League Cup final against Liverpool.
Think Iv read somewhere that Davies grew up a Tottenham fan...Motson too!
Was at this game also.
People tend to forget the Wolves goal. An absolute screamer in the top corner, from Wagstaffe.
