The singing in the stands, the walk back to the pub, the celebrity pints in the pub
I remember being on one of the supporters coaches coming back into cov, unbelievable scenes, people lining the roads and cheering the coaches as if we were the players, carnival atmosphere, amazing crazy times.FA cup semi final against Leeds, and the playoff semi final 2nd leg at Notts County, the atmosphere at the end of that was incredible.
I am same ageI feel privileged to have attended the 87 cup final with my dad when I was 16. An unforgettable day, the best feeling ever.
I was also blessed to have attended the Checkatrade final with my kids.
The poignancy of attending that my final with my son who was 16, the same age I went to Wembley with my dad was not lost on me, and to have my daughter and mum with me as well was fantastic.
My dad died a couple of years before the Checkatrade and he would have loved to have been there, he was a massive fan, so we raised a glass to him (more than a few) after that win!
Villa 4-1 away and the 1-0 win at villa park both great games also,when we beat them at highfield road Robbie Keane scoring in front of the west terrace always had bitter banter with my villa pal was going on for months soon as fixtures came out lolQuinn and Rosario ripping Villa a new one Boxing Day is right up there
Lovely, lovely words. The internet and social media has many terrible aspects about it, but the fact a 76 year old can share this story with a teenager (assumed they are allowed accounts, if not cc84 may get booted soon) on here is definitely one of its beauties. Even as a new dad in his 30s this is great to read, and I just hope I get to share similar moments with my daughter.Too many to mention.. First was gaining promotion from the (new) 4th div. My worst ever feeling was the Colchester game in 64 when George H scored the goal that got us promoted to the 2nd div. Why? Cos my dad, who took me to my first match in 1948 and instilled in me a love of the City, had passed away a few weeks earlier and so he never saw that promotion or the subsequent one to the first div. I'm now 76 and I still think of him every time we have a match. Tonight will be no exception. Thanks Dad
Same as some above, have done all 4 City Wembley trips. For me alone would be 87. But has to be the Checkatrade as created a sky blue monster with my son (according to ex) and thought he would never see any kind of City success, so to be able to share that Wembley win with him, surpasses anything
Niche. Was that when Adam Virgo scored a couple for them?I remember Steve Stauntons late goal vs Brighton had me jumping everywhere. Very important goal in our relegation scrap.

Yeah, that's what I miss. Nicely put.The best feeling for me can't be narrowed down to a single game or occasion, but to the single event of when we score. The sheer elation when the ball hits the net, bodies bouncing around, people clapping and yelling and backslapping, the taunts launched at the opposition, the spilt over-priced beer, the shins getting clattered by the top of the seat in front, the players clenching their fists in jubilation as the crowd cheers them on, the opposition keeper solemnly booting the ball back to the halfway line. Those twenty second moments are the entire reason I love football.
