Topics: 01993 Accrington Stanley away FA Cup 1st round. Played at Turf Moor with partisan Burnley fans in attendance. We won 3-2, Sammy Goodacre winner, on a par with Cliffs winner against Tranmere in 2009.
I hate Swann.

Wednesday cup win 1970, Terry Heath, Nigel Cassidy, George Kerr. Kevin Keegan talking to me and my mate outside training at West Common Lane, Sports Hall.Deferred pride when KK got straight into Liverpool first team. Hayes goal at Chelsea, Forest 4-0 win, Cliffys equaliser v Tranmere, MK dons play off penalty shootout, Crossers winner V Sheff United. Nina Simone blasting out from the crap PA system at OSG. Smell of Vimpto and Linament at OSG. Swopping ends at HT at OSG. Running onto pitch before Grimsby game 1972??? —-before most of their fans arrived!!!!! Peter do the decent thing and make sure the youth of Scunthorpe can create similar memories.

Ha, ha! I probably was Bobby for purely selfish reasons.
Desperately wanting to do the double over the black & white sludge, as it would have given me bragging rights for years!

Barrie’s four goals at Elland Road takes some beating. UTWI

Too many to count. I would single out the FA Cup fourth round second replay at the Old Show Ground. Lots of faces in the crowd I hadn’t seen for ages, and the boys on the pitch didn’t let us down either.
Much much later, at Priestfield, we were beating Brighton. Then we had a conga going on singing ‘we are top of the league, we are top of the league.’ Brighton fans were leaving in their droves and we were singing ‘bye bye, bye bye,’ lol. Happy days…

All of the above, Spurs away the coldest I’ve ever been at a football match. (I was colder one Boxing Day at Market Rasen races!!)
I’m old enough to have been at the Blackpool 6-2 (2-1 down at HT) and, I suppose, as that was the first “big game” I saw it still tops the list.my first home league game v Plymouth 1961 and we won 5-1 with Barrie Thomas scoring 4 and having 2 disallowed, also the 2-1 win at Hillsborough in the late 60s.

Great thread on Twitter here:
As Scunthorpe United prepare for the final games as a Football League club, here are some of my personal memories of 25+ years of attending games. Most of them have little to do with the actual football.

Enjoyed taking the piss out of that scruffy git Pete Winkleman, of MK Dons fame, who was hopping around on a piss soaked floor whilst trying to wash dog shit of his fancy shoes at Dagenham.
In typical Iron fashion, we were coasting at 3-0 up with twenty to go before that huge thunderstorm and the inevitable last minute equaliser!

At 3-0 I patted my now son-in-law on the back and said “you have now seen the Iron win a game”.
It was his seventh, and last, match.
I wonder if he has been sneaking in for the last six seasons?

Looks like UTI99 has only the last few years experience to draw on, should be easy enough to pick the highlights out of that.

In addition to all the great memories mentioned
Scoring 8 at Torquay, and the vidiprinter writing eight to confirm it’s
Hayes running from half way and scoring against Hull at home.
The 2-0 away win at hull when Garcia made his debut and the Hull fans had a sit down protest in the centre circle
Lee Hodges beating 5 players and firing past Roy Carroll, fans on the Donny road end seemed to jump forward 3 rows
Beagrie beating lots of players, putting a brilliant cross in and Torps somehow missing from a yard when it was easier to score, think that was against Cambridge.
The 2 Josh Morris wonder goals against Charlton, after replacing Clayton Lewis
Adelakun’s injury time equaliser past Pickford at Bradford after were brilliant in the 2nd half.Steve Deere in the Millwall FA cup win that set us up for Hillsborough. I can still picture the goal and the slightly nervous crowd reaction as there was a knot of Millwall crew sounding off in the Donny Road.

‘First crew to take the Donny road end. Very happy days.’
And you have a pop at Bobby G for making a sarcy comment about Grimsby possibly being promoted and me liking it? 😆👏
