April 10th 1993 QPR 4 - 3 Nottingham Forest. Great game with Les Ferdinand scoring a hatrick and Brian Clough watching on from the dugout.

This went well.
Porto 4 - Lazio 1, 2003 UEFA Cup semi-finals. Porto was one-goal down very soon in the match, but turned around in what was one of the finest exhibitions we've ever made. Seeing Lisbon hacks all "red-faced" afterwards and saying that Porto was outclassed for several parts of the game, and would be crushed in Rome only added to the beauty of it.

Wolves 3-0 Shef Utd
It was the play-off final where we finalyl got to the Premiership, it was beautiful in every way, Mark Kennedy almost sent the ball through the net to start our way to being 3-0 by HT.
Then Shef U started to play and they had a penalty saved..........it was the match to end all matches.
Well to me it was anyway!

going to put 3 games, because you can't separate them for the drama.
Play-off semi-final 1st Leg Bolton Wanderers 2 Ipswich Town 2
We'd lost 4 play-off semis on the trot and faced a Bolton side that had Eidur Gudjohnsen (who as you might expect was ridiculously good at that level). Within about a quarter of an hour we were 2-0 down, had both our captain Tony Mowbray and top scorer David Johnson limp off and had a shit, here we go again feeling. A bit before half-time balls drops to Marcus Stewart. Signed for 2.5m a few months earlier, his performance up to that point had been underwhelming, with rumours around that he was an alky. We'd done nothing up to that point, and he takes it 30 yards out, on the half-volleys and smacks it past Jusskaleinen. We then get the bit between our teeth, and it was a matter of time, before we equalise, a brilliant counter-attack that Stewart finished by going round the keeper 3 times just to give us all heart-attacks. Bolton someone survive the last half-hour onslaught from pumped Town.
2nd Leg Ipswich Town 5 Bolton Wanderers 3 AET
Possibly the greatest game of football ever played. Definitely the best at Portman Road. 2 red cards (for them), 3 pens (for us) and we still needed a 90th minute goal to keep us in the tie. Bolton 1up after 2 minutes, we equalise from the penalty spot (dodgy call). They score in the 35th minute a Dean Holdsworth free-kick 2-1. We get another pen before half-time and Bolton lose it, start chasing the ref around. Magilton misses the spot-kick and we go in 2-1 down. Just after half-time, same player, who scored once every 2 years usually, danced past 4 defenders and smashed in an equaliser. But 30 seconds later Holdsworth scores a 25 yard half-volley 3-2 Bolton. Stays that way til basically the last kick of normal time. Launched forward to emergency forward Tony Mowbray, knocks it down for Magilton, edge of the box, mishits it and slice end up to Jusskaleinen left. 3-3 Extra time. Them with ten men now after a sending off, we score once, another one sent off. Martijn Reuser scores another beauty to start the pitch invasions.
Final last club match at old wembley Ipswich Town 4 Barnsley 2
Barnsley ahead in 5 minutes, we equalise from a Tony Mowbray header. Richard Wright saves a Barnsley pen, we score twice more after half-time. Back to 3-2 from a pen, before Reuser scores on the counter to seal the win.
All 3 were amazing games...

Man U 6-2 Fernabache
A young man by the name of Wayne Rooney made his debut for Man Utd scoring a hetrick in the process
he was amazing that day 'pele in disguise'

And I'll add to that the 5-0 over the scum in 1998, Alex Mathie hat trick and two from Bobby Petta, fantastic.
Plus the 2-1 win in 1996 when Robert Ullathorne scored an own goal sparking the best pitch invasion in the history of the north stand.
My top three, too.
And hats off to the Barnsley fans that sang You'll Never Walk Alone with us after the final whistle...what an atmosphere...a fitting club goodbye to Wembley (as was)

I was at that one. Great game although Hristov should have buried that last minute header!

Strange how almost everyone seems to have to win to make the game "great"...
Liverpool 5 v 4 Alaves (AET) - Uefa Cup Final, Dortmund, May 2001
This was probably the most memorable in terms of incidents and goals and drama. I was drained at the end ...... and had nearly sobered up.
Liverpool 3 v West Ham 3 (AET) Liverpool won on pens - FA Cup Final, Cardiff, May 2006
Crazy game and so near so far for the underdog. Gerrard's late equaliser was probably the finest ever FA Cup final strike. If only Anton Ferdinand could take a good penalty.
Wales beating Germany, Brazil and Italy were all good games to have been at. Cardiff beating QPR in the League One play off was top. Liverpool beating Utd 4-0 back in 1990 was also a joy. All good fun but for a game to be truly great I think both teams have to score at least two goals or more.... generally.

One of mine wasn't. It was a 4-4 victory.

Partly a response to an outbreak of binmen.

26 August, 1997 ECWC Celtic 6 Tirol Innsbruck 3
Having lost 2-1 in the first leg, the return tie had more twists and turns than I have ever seen or am likely to again. A match where almost every attack seemed to result in a goal, it was like the Hokey Cokey as we were in then out then back in again. An unlikely hero in Morten Wieghorst scored to put us 5-3 up on the night but nerves were still jangling til Burley scored in injury time to decide the tie once and for all.
