Yeah,best atmosphere ever for me that night since the Bayern game anyhow,the whole ground was bouncing,travesty that we went out,their keeper in the words of Bobby M was "phenomenol"

Yeah the save Frey made for Jagielka's pen was unbelievable.

Bayern Munich is almost certainly the best one. There are a few I wish I had been there.. Alex Young's winner v Spurs 1963, Harvey's goal against West Brom 1970, BMG in the European Cup (had to watch the highlights (I was 9 years old)), 5-4 vs West Brom.

Some other great moments

Andy King's winner 1-0 vs the RS
8-0 v Southampton in the snow
Stuffing Leeds
Latchford's 30th
Duncan McKenzie's run across the pitch against Stoke
3-0 vs RS (son's first Derby)
1985 and 1987 title winning seasons (especially the QPR game where we did win the title and the first half against West Ham in 1987 when we won 4-0)
Tony Hibbert's goal!!!
Clarke's winner to end the RS unbeaten run
4-4 vs The RS and then the 2nd replay when Dave Watson netted the winner.
2-1 comeback win vs RS to lift us off the bottom of the table early 90s
Europa wins including Larissa, Zenit and Fiorentina (the last one a bittersweet night)
Tic Tac Gosling's winner (in fact any win over that lot)
2-0 win over Villa LC Semi
Beating Ipswich 2-1 FAC QF (weeks after the 0-4 loss against them in the Cushion Throwing Finale)
Saints 1-0 AET Cup replay
Varadi's winner in the Pie Derby Cup tie

First game with my son (I know it was a lousy 0-0 draw early 90s but it's still a special moment)

Does being one of the 9,080 at the Coventry cup tie (2-1 comeback win, 1983-4) count - stood on Gwladys Street?

Great choice of games - I took the liberty of highlighting the games I was at.

I thought I'd not take the liberty of remembering all the bad days... I'm a bad Blue me like, quitting the Lescott finale for the pub just before we scored (had had enough). Not as bad as my wife though who had the good fortune to start going in 1984-5 and continued to go until March 87 (six months pregnant with Toffee Yann) whereupon we made it to full time in the FMC game against Charlton (the one we lost on pens with Big Nev scoring) before we left in the bitter ice-cold night. So, with a phenomenal record of about 1 loss in 40 or 50 home games (plus the 85 FA Cup Final) she was called out of retirement on New Years Day 2006 (if you recall just after 0-4 Bolton, 0-4 at Villa, 1-3 home Derby defeat) as we beat Charlton. So, in 2009 we're 2-0 down to City and Jags is carried off she says "I can't take anymore of this" (i.e. can't stand it when we're losing) and promptly goes and sits in the car but like I say we usually win when she goes.
