For FA Cup, really remember the highs and lows of the 87-88 season. It was the year we beat Huddersfield 10-1 in the league then got drawn against them in the third round. Everyone thought we'd be through easily but we scraped through the first game 2-2 after John Gidman equalised at the old London Rd (?) ground with a daisycutter in injury time, I think after a free kick. The replay at Maine Road was 120 minutes of boredom but we did them 3-0 at theirs in the second replay - remember them?
Next round was Blackpool away and we were in the only part of the open end at Bloomfield Road that hadn't been condemned. Again, we needed a last-minute equaliser to force a replay. Think it was Paul Lake or Paul Stewart but even now I can remember the ball pinging around the box for about 15 seconds before we scored. We won 2-1 in the replay, I think with Stewart scoring against his former club.
Fifth round was Plymouth at home. We'd hammered them 6-2 in the Simod Cup that season - three days after the Huddesfield demolition in the league and it was a 3-1 routine win. Can remember the length-of-the-field breakaway third finished off, I think, by Paul Moulden.
Then the dippers in the QF at Maine Road in the only televised game. Packed Kippax. Seem to remember it being a bit tense. Think David White had a half-chance in the first half but in truth we were well beaten. Think Craig Johnson had a blinder.
Talking of second replays, think it was the season after when we got Millwall in the third or fourth round. Ended up in second replay at old Den on a nasty, dark, winter night. Paul Lake scored a screamer to make it 1-1, I think, in front of us, but it was a horrible place and we lost 3-1. Even then we were kept in for ages. I remember a small part of me thinking it was a good job we lost.
As others have said, Notts County away was horrid. Really enjoyed the away game at Burnley when Niall Quinn scored and we won 1-0.
They're all games I was at before moving to the other side of the world.
Again as others have said, West Ham at home in the quarter-final was a horrible TV experience - just as beating the vermin in the semi was brilliant. Came back for both finals - not having been at either league win, the Stoke game was one of my top four live experiences (Bradford away for promotion, 5-1, Gillingham being the others) and therefore the best in the FA Cup. The Wigan final was a nightmare and, like others have said, some (most?) of our players that day sullied their reputations.
