Another game that I'd pushed to the back of my mind was a 5-2 defeat away to Man City under Ossie in the early/mid-90s. Shambolic defending. City were building a new stand and we had the front part that had been built. No roof and pissed down as it only could in Manchester. Interesting walk back from Moss Side to the city centre. Awful day.

Yeah the weather was grim. Been to Forest a few times to watch the home team and they are a special breed.
I went to that one. First ever away match, I was 5 years old! Don't know how my old man managed to get that one past my mum, think he might well have been in the doghouse for a while...
Forgotten that one
Remember Keegan sitting there awaiting the sack
Pleat jumping up and down going ballistic as the 2nd half nightmare unfolded
Me clinging on to hope at 3-3 that extra time would fuck them
Then Mackin getting his head on that cross
In total shock on the train home
The epitome of 'Spursy' right enough!
Great thread this bringing back a lot of memories albeit some bad ones!
Remember the Goons home defeat in the early 70s, 0-5 I think or maybe we got one, and John Pratt losing the ball on the edge of our area at the Park Lane end and Liam Brady bending ball in with his left peg making it 5!
It's often featured on the opening credits on MOTD.
He then ran over to the Shelf where I was standing waving at us!
Nightmare outside Seven Sisters afterwards!
Funnily enough I ended up in a sports rehabilitation centre near Slough in the late 80s and Brady was there too when he was at the Spam.
Despite the Goon connection he was quite a nice bloke and apologised for winding us up that day but we had given him some stick prior to that!
I actually played on the same side as him in a 5 a side game at the hospital along with Cyrille Regis' young brother, Dave and Liam never shut up throughout, very competitive and I wasn't in his league, sadly.

yes he did from around 35 yards... the same game andy gray scored his only goal from outside the six yard box the
jammy bastard... the other 999 times he would have hit that it would have ended up at highbury!
I went to see us beat forest just after xmas in 93/94. Mabbutt got the winner but thats all I really remember. I'd been staying with my sister who lived in Balham so came down from Uni the day before. On my way to the game I'd nipped into soho and bought a dirty video (it wasn't for me honest). I went to the game and then got back to my sisters flat. There wasn't anyone in so I thought I'd have a quick 'try' of the video. Just after I put the tape I immediately heard a crunching sound and it didn't play. The fucker was jammed and wouldn't come out. I tried to eject, tipped the video player upside down, hit it. Was totally panicking that my sis and her boyfriend would be back - I was sweating like fuck. eventually I found a screw driver and took the lid off the machine and managed to force the tape out, the tape was all tangled to I had to snap it. It was a fucking nightmare the porno cost me £20. put the machine back together and had to go and lie down. A shit day.
remember getting off the 149 bus at around 4.30 at abney park cemetery and walking from there to the ground because the traffic was mental!.
everton fans had the whole of the park lane in a day when away fans got a fair allocation and as you did in them days two of us went through the turnstyle for one price with a tip for the operator
Remember the Everton fans hanging out the top floor of the ship after the game don't think they got in to the match how they got up I don't know but it is one of top turn outs at whl.
This season losing 2-1 to Woolwich in the cup, my second north derby after the 2-1 win over them in 1999, so I was relishing the occasion and it was a night match...ideal. Saw two second string teams, Fazio have a game that would get him dropped from most pub teams and Flamini score not once but bloody twice... Depressing and the only time I've ever seen Spurs lose a derby live.
The second worse game I've been to was actually a 1-0 win against Southampton in the AVB years. The most boring game I've ever watched we were fucking terrible for 86 minutes and got saved at the end by a Bale screamer, I might as well have turned up for about 5 minutes saw that, celebrated and gone home. The atmosphere was awful as well even in the park lane end. Afterwards I knew AVB had to go!

So many awful games in the 90s I am not sure I could make a choice.
I was sitting in the Paxton for that game right behind the goal. Kept telling my dad I was excited we'd probably be on MOTD. 5 of their 6 goals were up our end and we were on TV sitting glumly for each one
Fucking hell you lucky bastard
In terms of actual football it has to be the 0-0 Europa league qualifier at home to hearts.......got excited for about 30 seconds when we won a penalty only for some young striker to step up and miss it.......no idea what become of him??

Unfortunately this was also the match where the club announced the signing of the financial burden who went by the name... Emmanuel Adebayor!
Yeah I have been pretty lucky, live I think I've only seen us lose about 4 times since 1995. I've got a ticket to tomorrow's game so hopefully we will get a win !
That is the AVB period in one sentence.
