Bury versus MK Dons last season. 3-1 down with 18 minutes to play, won 4-3. The video highlights [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se4TEAl ... ure=onebox ] don't do justice to it, but John Gwynne on Soccer Saturday did, when he ended his update with the words 'GIGG LANE HAS GONE DAFT'. This will be the title of my book about what happened to the club.

Huddersfield were 4-0 down here too, thanks in part to Liam Robinson and even Nigel Smith. Still spoken about to this day, this game. As it was the two points dropped would have kept us up that season. OH WELL:

Since you asked so nicely (you didn’t) here’s Bury’s last game of the year, decade, century, millennium - https://youtu.be/WfIc9z4Rba8

Always amazed by how easily Lenny is shoved off the ball by Andy Preece.

Newcastle drawing 4-4 with Arsenal after before 4-0 down at HT.

Palace scoring 3 in the last 15 minutes to dent Liverpool's title hopes,finished 3-3 after the scousers led 3-0.

England-West Germany 1970 WC QF,England 2 up and coasting,and then the subs happen,and the West Germans win 3-2 in extra time.

Barca-PSG in CL,PSG 4-0 up after the 1st leg,Barca won the return 6-1,they netted 3 really late on as a recall.

Sheff Utd-Burnley 93 FA CUP,we were 2 ahead and cruising at a PL ground,and then Inchy got sent off,and big Brian Deane netted a brace in injury time,still rankles to this day,especially as they won they replay.

Man City 2 Burnley 2,we were 2-0 down at HT,and staring down the barrel,then we scored early on,and Ash Barnes cracked in screamer late on,great point at the time.

Tottenham 4 Burnley 2 FA Cup replay,2 shadow sides,but Sordell,and Wallace scored in the opening 10 minutes,after that it rapidly went pear shaped.

Burnley 2 West Brom 2-this was the game Marney went off injured,and we blew a 2 goal cushion,and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse this followed the next home game.

Burnley 2 Crystal Palace 3-once again we threw away a 2 goal advantage,and these 2 results played a large role in our ultimate relegation.

Darlington 3 Burnley 2 FA Cup-think this was the tie Payts got his marching orders,and we conceded 3 in the final 10 minutes to go out 3-2,after looking home and hosed.

2 games at OT we blew a 2 goal lead twice,conceding the equaliser in injury time on both occasions.

On a happier note there was the Andy Cole inspired comeback at Loftus Road,2-0 down to a 4-2 victory,thanks in the main to his hat-trick.

That season PNE got to the play off finals him and Healy were class. Didn't he score some quirky quick free kick against us one game in the days they could give us a decent game

That Spurs v City game when a 10 man Man City came back to win 4-3 from 3 0 down at half time. (EDIT sorry mentioned above)

Bradford City at Chelsea in the cup.

Wasn't that the second leg comeback at home against (I think) Barcelona? If it was the game I'm thinking of that was a fanastic game. Also Burnley 2 weeks on the trot at home some years ago - 4-4 v Charlton 1-4 down at half time and 3-3 against somebody (could have been Orient or Wrexham) after 1-3 down at half time. 14 goals int wo home games - great stuff.

Roma 4-1 down from the first leg, won 3-0 to go through on away goals. Incredible commentary as well.

Roma have risen from their ruins!
Manolas, the Greek god in Rome!

I enjoyed Burnley's 3-1 win at TM against Everton in the mid-70s after losing with ten minutes to go.

Everton 2 Newcastle 0 in the 90+2nd minute this season was pretty funny a few minutes later.

Man Utd in Paris last season,2-0 down from the home leg,won 3-1 at PSG,though they did have help from the ref.

Arsenal-Hull 2014 cup final,Hull 2 up in the first 10 minutes,and the Gooners turned it round to win 3-2 in ET.

Watford-Arsenal Hornets fought back from 2 down to grab a point in Flores first game back in charge,after that it all went wrong.

Tottenham in Amsterdam last year 3 down on aggregate and then Moura pops up with a hat-trick.

Motherwell 4 St Mirren 4 Scottish Cup this year,Saints 4-1 up,before the The Steelmen fought back to force ET and pens,which St Mirren edged.

Watford again in the cup semi last season,2 down to Wolves before roaring back to win 3-2 in ET,less said about the final from their POV the better.

Arguably the most famous,certainly the most important,featured on classic MOTD last night,Everton 3 Wimbledon 2 the Toffees clambering back from 2 down,to nick a 3-2 win,and escape relegation by the skin of their teeth,a very dodgy pen awarded for Everton's 1st goal to say the least.

Portugal-North Korea 1966 WC QF,the North Koreans roared into a 3 goal lead,before Eusebio worked his magic with 4 of his own ended 5-3 to Portugal.

Lastly a couple from this seasons FA Cup.

Shrewsbury 2 Liverpool 2,Shrews 2 down and heading out before rescuing a replay in a 2-2 draw.and we all know what happened next.

Watford 3 Tranmere 3 Hornets 3 goals clear midway through the 2nd half,before they collapsed and allowed the visitors to snatch a replay with a late penalty,to rub salt in the wounds Tranmere emerged victorious in the replay,scoring late in ET,to set up a home tie against Man Utd,they were on the end of a 6-0 reverse ultimately.
