25 Years of match memories

[3swan]

There is a thread with thanks to Phil so how about any special memories of the last 25 years.

There will be plenty of big games but I'll start with a slightly obscure one,

Rushden at home in August 2002.

A 2-2 draw but that was a sideshow, as it was a turning point where the whole ground seem to be chanting "We want Petty OUT"

It seemed strange that there was a game going on in front of us, but our minds were totally elsewhere.

I was there but am sure it was 0-0. Brian Talbot was their manager who said it was very difficult to play football with all that was going on. If only I could remember important things... Now, where did I put my keys?

Very brief report - nothing about the protests though, sadly.

In the same vein... John Hollins in the season after promotion trying to calm the North Bank down during another home defeat before beating a hasty retreat. I think it was v Colchester and Lomana Lua Lua scored a stunning goal for them. Most of the ground applauded.

The protests were in a different 0-0 game. November 2001, I think.

It was absolutely roasting hot for that Rushden game.
