I was at Newcastle too, and particularly liked their announcer telling us the scores from Old Toilet.There are so many. But a couple of oldies. The great George Heslop's towering header at Old Shithouse where we won 3-1 on the way to the title. And of course the final 4-3 victory at Newcastle to secure the title, much to the disappointment of the BBC who televised the Rags getting beat by Sunderland at Old T. My Dad and I were there at Newcastle and I will never forget that day if I live to be 150.
Blues, i know we have no history whatsoever, but whats your favourite moment ever?
Mine, like most was the Dickov goal, overtaken by the Aguero goal, but then theres the Kompany goal, the 6-1, the Yaya goals, the fact we stopped chlesea and Liverpool from having invincible seasons.
But whats yours?

Could be me writing that. Same age. Was in the Leazes (sp) end. Someone told me a flag gets lowered 5 min from time. Saw a flag lowered waiting for whistle nothing. 5 min later newcastle get a corner score from it 3-4 still no whistle........another 5 min or so it seemed, then pandemonium.I was at Newcastle too, and particularly liked their announcer telling us the scores from Old Toilet.
"Here's the half time score: Manchesh Yernitid 1, Sunderland 2" (massive (ahem) cheering).
"Here's the full time score: Manchesh Yernitid 1,"………………………
Never heard the rest due to the noise of our fans cheering. We'd won the league by two points instead of a better goal average !
Happy days. A mere child of 18 (just) at the time. I'll be 70 in April!
We'd have gone up that day losing 1-0 if Morley hadn't scored. That said, at half time with palace 4-0 and needing to win by 5 if we lost 1-0 it was squeaky bum time. Palace ended up winning 4-1 so it was irrelevant but certainly relieved the 89th minute tensions!for me its Bradford city away winning promotion in a way only city can do late goal by trevor morley, i was one of the lucky ones who got tickets packed in the small paddock behind the goal crazy

Liverpool at home, our real home, Maine Road. I think it was boxing day 1985. Clive Wilson scored. We win 1 nil.
If anyone thinks liverpool are good now, in those days they dominated football. However they were respected more because we did not have the constant social media shite etc.
Also xmas time v Stoke City in Division 3. Won 2 one and went on a great run to make the play offs
They say history, but they really mean achievement. The 2 words are not interchangeable.All clubs have history, not all have the same success
