I was there when..... (9 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

I was there in the early-mid 00s when a young woman in the Burnley end exposed herself to the West Terrace. I later saw her outside the station throwing up and falling over in it.
Classy.

I was there when Clive Allen scored for Palace with a free kick but the ball hit the stanchion at the back of the goal and came out and the ref didn't see it...was on Match of the day that night (in the days when you only had two or three games on)

 

[Sick Boy]

I was there when Stephen Hughes went in goal against Stoke and kept a clean sheet!

We won as well, I think

I was there in 1981 at the League Cup semi final first leg to see us go down 2-0 in half an hour, but then get three goals in 20 minutes to win. Gary Thompson scored at each end. An own goal, then two in reply for us. It’s still the best game/atmosphere ever for me, partly because Gary Thompson sorted me out with a ticket

I was there in the rain for two memorable occasions, one away where we lost to Northampton in the cup and one at home in the Simod cup extra time v Wimbledon, stood on the old spion kop watching Peter billing get sent off I think for thumping someone.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It wasn't a replay. We were drawn away to Luton in the league cup but they werent allowed to play home cup ties on their plastic pitch.
I was at that game too. Pissed down all night and we lost!

You are absolutely correct it was a horrendous evening. Thanks for ensuring I didn’t think I’d gone mad

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

I was there when we drew 2-2 with Bristol City on the final game of the season (after leading 2-0). The draw kept both clubs up at Sunderland’s expense as they lost at Everton in a game that kicked off 15 mins early ().

 

[Johhny Blue]

I was there when Derek Dougan got knocked out before the game at Wolves

.......and then got back up and assisted a goal after 6 minutes

 

[Hutch11]

I was there in 87 when we were at home to Southampton I think , when Greg Downs took to the pitch with a wig on
Greggy Downs, Greggy Downs, Greggy Greggy Downs
He's got no hair but we don't care

0-0 I’m sure

 

[Sick Boy]

0-0 I’m sure

Yes, you’re right, it felt like a win at the time!

It was a 0-0 draw but felt like a win!

Classy.

I was there when she was arguing with her boyfriend about it in the Elastic Inn after the game, I strongly suspect theyre no longer together.

 

[SBAndy]

I was there when Ellery Cairo offered Lee Hildreth’s dad out at a reserve match.

 

[SkyblueDad]

I was there at the Sunderland FA cup-tie in 1963 when it is said over 60000 were in Highfield Road official attendance was 40000.

 

[Gosb]

I was there in 1956 to see Steve 'Kalamazoo' Mokone make his debut. My Uncle Doug, famed for his insights, said that 'he looked as though he could do with a bloody good hot meal'.

 

[duffer]

I was there when Paul Williams took goal kicks v Boro cause Hedman was injured and Strachan refused to take him off

And we had one of the best young keepers in England on the bench too, iirc, Kirkland. Bloody madness.

 

[skybluelee]

I was there when Dion hid behind Shay Given before sneaking back on to score.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

I was there when Matty Godden scored our last ever goal in division 1 at Ipswich away.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I was there when Clive Allen Scored a perfect top corner free kick for Palace that hit the back stantion and flew out. The goal that never stood. Everyone in the ground apart from the ref knew it was in. Mick Coop cleverly played on while they were celebrating.

I was there in the kop with 2 uncles. It didn’t feel as crushed as the Wolves game, until leaving at the end. Don’t think my feet touched the floor then.

Ground was different then with that small stand which I was in thankfully opposite the Maine Stand. Hordes of people standing either side because the wall had come down, I remember the next game v Manchester United had 44000 in seemed a lot less than the Sunderland one.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

I was there when Julian Gray made his debut. I will also be there when he plays his last game for us.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

I was there when....the ref blew his whistle for full time at about 86 minutes, before being surrounded by players pointing at the scoreboard clock. He was persuaded to play on, only to finish the match at bang on 90 minutes according to the scoreboard clock, and no injury/extra time at all.
Don't remember who we were playing, but i think it was a bore draw at Highfield Road.

 

[the rumpo kid]

I was there when that guy shit his own pants in the arch at Wembley.

 

[Mcbean]

I was there when Ken Julie was on the bench !

 

[Mcbean]

I was also there when Stephen Hughes went in goal

Oh it's beautiful to read the correct terminology for a British subject.
Injury /Extra time not that yanky nonsense of Overtime ffs

 

[Sick Boy]

I was there when a section of our fans proudly sang “she said yes Marlon” at his first game for us away at Sheff Utd.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

I was there when we lost on penalties in the Simod Cup Semi Final against Reading.

That was a bleak night

 

[Hutch11]

I was at V***a when we sung " if you've all shagged Ulrika clap your hands " and Collymore turned to us and clapped his hands above his head

 

[SkyblueDad]

I was at Peterborough one Tuesday night with 20000 other Cov fans to see us lose 0-2 leaving us needing to win our last match v Colchester 1-0 to gain promotion, which we did in front of 36000.

 

[bringbackrattles]

As a kid stood on the Spion Kop I was there when we beat Shrewsbury 8-1 with a Ronnie Rees hat-trick. We went on to become Third Division Champions that season.
