Has to be number 3. There is now light at the end of the tunnel for the younger generation who were not around for the first two. It may be far off, but hopefully they too will eventually have great playing memories.
Wembley 7-6. But wasn’t the Upbeats pitch celebration absolutely magical........it will live with me forever. How is it possible to laugh and cry at the same time......well that was the day I found out.
CP returning the first time. CP returning the second time. CP returning the third time. CP returning the fourth time..........................................hopefully.
Has to be the playoff win for me. My first proper footballing memory (I was four). I distinctly remember, after Summerbee scored, asking if we'd lost there and then. But we hadn't!
Honourable mentions - sending the Palace down; Shaun Bartlett's volley; and Yann's volley against Hartlepool.
Was taken aback at how full The Valley was and we were in League One at the time. Forgotten what a genuine full Valley feels like (not a fiver game or kids for a quid kind of game).

1) Hales' left foot volley v Hull City (ITV goal of the season)
2) Paul Miller's equaliser at Stamford Bridge that kept us up and out of the play offs.
3) Steve McKenzie's equaliser at Highbury.
