Platt v Bradford was a good one.


Any Andy Gray arms aloft in front of the Holte also.

League Cup semi-final v Manure 23 December 1970-Andy Lochhead's winner

Same for me but, it was Pat McMahon that got the winner.  I lost me trousers.
  I must have got the goals the wrong way round then, it was big Andy's equaliser in my head.
But at least I kept my trousers on.

The comeback against against Arsenal after being 0-2 down at half time in '98. The game was delayed after the break following the terrible incident with the parachutist, which may have added something to the atmosphere. A Dion Dublin winner late in the game and the Holte went bonkers.

Stanley Victor against A. Madrid, the Holte End actually shook that night.
And it sparked a last 15 minutes or so of absolute madness on and off  the pitch when every time we had the ball we all thought we were going to score.
I also remember during those few minutes seeing two fire engines come down Trinity Road, lights flashing and sirens going. Maybe we set the earthquake sensors off that night. ;D

For the present Holte > Stanley Victor's was a bit special, along with Dalian (Tranmere), Merse v Cov and surprisingly the Zat Night v Arsenal

Standing wise in the Holte > Kent Nielson v Inter for me

I'm pretty sure Dalian's was the old Holte.

I could feel the Holte moving beneath my feet that afternoon after the equaliser.

Some good choices. By the time Zat fired his winner I'd migrated to the Witton Lane Upper.

League Cup semi-final v Manure 23 December 1970-Andy Lochhead's winner

Same for me but, it was Pat McMahon that got the winner.  I lost me trousers.
This, definitely!
Both our goals at the Holte End, both headers....16 years old and the place went NUTS!

(but I didn't lose my trousers!)

Sorry FMWMU, Pat McMahons winner was at the Witton End.  Both headers mind.  I lost me trousers and me old man who, was only a little bloke and I spent most of the match holding on to the back of his collar so he wouldn't get crushed as we shot forwards.  It didn't work, he ended up yards away after both goals.  Happy days.
