MikeO Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Well that was up there but what's you most memorable ending to a game? Maybe the 2-1 win over Spurs in 2012 when Pienaar and Jelavic got the goals in injury time? For me (more so because we were there) it was the 2-1 win over Charlton in 2007 with James McFadden's wonder goal after Darren Bent had equalised on 89 minutes. The Gosling goal v Liverpool is obviously up there but I was watching a TV ad when it happened, fucking ITV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only thinking of games I was actually at tbh. The AJ one I think I ended up in a different row . Then had the walk back to the pub as massive hailstones were bouncing off my head. The pain was worth it though. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 QPR 2-3 Everton. 1995. The match that Nev came back into form, even Barlow scored, Angel went of injured, Amo came on and tore shit up, and Hinchcliffe scored a last minute free kick in front of us. Best match I’ve ever been too, people literally bouncing off the roof and tearing the place down. Turned our season round. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, I moved out of London in 1994 so missed it, used to go to most of our London games and Loftus Road always seemed to a bogey ground for us. One game really sticks in my mind from Sept 1985; we went there as league champions with a full strength team and were 3-0 down by half time.....and that's how it finished. Couldn't believe what I was watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we lost the title to Liverpool by two points that year it was costly though (though it was ultimately the 1-0 loss at Oxford in our 40th game that did for us, was in our hands until then).

Isaiah Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Not quite last minute (last 10 though) but Everton - Wimbledon, 1994. Graeme Stuart's goal to save us from relegation is one of my most vivid football memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was huge for me. I think Baines got an extra time free kick in the cup against Chelsea? Maybe 09? Remember my stream froze and my mate ( chelsea fan ) we were trying to work out if the ball was on target and I was like, it’s going top corner and sure enough!

And Moyes apoplectic because the ref blew the final whistle when we were on another break. Flip-side 2004 when we came back from 3-0 down after half an hour and got it back to 3-3 only for Ruud Van Horseface to score in the 89th min.

His demeanour gave it away because if they'd scored he'd have chucked his phone on the floor and stomped off, but we still didn't know the circumstances so couldn't celebrate in case VAR stepped in.

I was there with my Dad, but don’t really remember any of the game, I was only ten. I remember running on the pitch afterwards and digging out a chunk of turf and putting it in my coat pocket. When I got home I put it in a dish on my bedroom windowsill, after a few days it started to stink to bad you could smell it all over the house. My mum put it in the bin, I was gutted.
