if you could write a paragraph on a post card of your favourite all time memory of being at the Valley, what would it be?

Comments

  • 5th December 1992..............7 minutes in.

    wouldn't need anything more
  • Weirdly mine would probably be Chris Powell scoring in his final match, ghosting into the box, his trademark smile beaming as the ball falls to him, the spontaneous celebration being held aloft in front of the covered end.

    That, or BigDL bellowing CHAMPIONS
  • Robbo equalising against Man U.............just magic.
  • Rufus tackle on Ferdinan at White Hart Lane, although i think Ferdinan might have wised he wasnt there?

    Eeermmm sorry to be picky but the thread is asking for all time memories at The Valley!

    oophs, perhaps i should had read it.
  • Powelly's goal 100%.

    4-2 Chelsea sticks in my mind... Remember Paulo making Shevchenko look an absolute idiot in the corner near the North, brilliant.

    Yes, that Powell goal was amazing.

    Sending Palace down, the whole atmosphere after we scored was amazing.
  • Jim Ryan laying out Pat Brady with a right hook in a reserve match v Millwall
  • Bryan Hughes stooping to head home in injury time against Villa would actually be pretty high for me. Big goals in relegation battles bring about a good bit of bedlam.

  • Before the last game of last season - when we all held up the cards and the opera singers sang. It really brought tears to my eyes.

    Also the 4-2 win against Chelsea on Boxing Day.
  • All good shouts so far, I would add Sean Newton's goal in the play off semi against Ipswich. The roar was deafening, and we knew we were going to Wembley...
  • Lisbies 3rd against Liverpool, it was a quite bizarre but brilliant moment

    Yep, this was the first one I thought of. On a distinctly less epic note, I can't remember which game it was, but there was one evening match where we really weren't playing particularly well and Richard Rufus got fed up of no-one making themselves available for a pass. Not only did he take the ball over the halfway line, fairly unusual in itself, but he ended up dribbling down the right wing on the West Stand side. It's my #wishyouwere here moment, because I'd never have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
  • Cliff Durandt in the 90th minute against Southampton. It gave us the lifeline we needed to stay up in Division 2. We went on to beat Luton and Walsall away in the last two games and stayed up.

  • 5 minutes from the end of our last match in the Prem v Spurs, all the fans stansding, ignoring the game and singing together, magic moment.
    Worst moment v Wycombe nuff said
  • Too many great memories

    Being the first team to shut hudds up and their fake unbeaten run is up there

    But too many To pick 1
  • Agree NLA. Shaun Bartlett's volley in recent years...Allan Simonsen ripping Chelsea to bits a little further back...beating Spurs 4-1 the season they came down from the old 1st div and Killer's goal of the season, set up by my hero Paddy Powell against Hull all spring to mind, as well as most of the above.

    This team haven't arf given us some highs...and, unfortunately, the opposites as well. It's what keeps us coming back and giving us hope!! COYR! :)
  • The standing ovation for curbs at the end of his last match against blackburn i think will always be something I remember. Can't imagine too many managers going out like that and of course thoroughly deserved

  • The memories of the covered end from nipper until adult were sometimes better than the footie

    From the peanut man to being put by the advertising holdings by my old man when things got tetchy

    To the seasons when I paid for my season ticket to only spend 1 or 2 games a season in it because the booze we used to smuggle in was more enjoyable than watching the footie from the seat we used to watch it on the telly box in the nth upper whilst drinking it and knowing we had scored or conceded due to the crowd noise before the tv caught up
  • Matt Tees crawling on his hands and knees to head home against Bury...the look of determination on his face was priceless.
  • Would only need to have a picture of one of our famous steak slices. No words needed.................
