Games to match today in terms of late excitement
Two that spring to my mind are.
Bolton away in our Championship winning campaign we were trailing Bolton for much of the match, then Andre struck twice late on to seal the win.
PNE under Laws when they imploded in the final 10 and blow a 3-1 lead, Chris Iwelumo netted a HT that day, and Jay nicked the winner at the death.
Both important but nowhere near as vital as that crazy 5 minute spell today.

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
Another one just came to me, Cardiff away in the Div 4 title season, they were one of if not the closest of our rivals, and we bagged 2 IT goals as I recall to win 2-0, and effectively seal our promotion that night.
Ian Wright also netted a few late winners during his brief spell at TM, Notts County is one that I remember, but the others escape me ATM.

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
Cardiff away was earlier in the season. The big game against them was a Tuesday night match at home where Painter scored after about 16 seconds. We did get two goals close together in second half to go from 1-1 to 3-1 but they weren't near the end.tiger76 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 6:35 pmAnother one just came to me, Cardiff away in the Div 4 title season, they were one of if not the closest of our rivals, and we bagged 2 IT goals as I recall to win 2-0, and effectively seal our promotion that night.

Turf Moor was doing the Mexican wave in the last 5 mins such was the relief to win that game

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
So it was just checked February 29, obviously must have been a leap year, but it was an important win in Wales as our form had been patchy since the whirlwind start of Mullen's tenure, and despite the odd blip we never looked back following that victory as we marched to the title.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 6:42 pmCardiff away was earlier in the season.

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
Boro at home in 15/16 goal. Only for a draw but absolutely crucial. Not sure we’d have been promoted never mind champions if that hadn’t gone in.

Yep. Remember that one. 1 down with not long left, won 2-1. The night John Bond disguised himself as a steward. What a tool.2 Bee Holed wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:40 pmShrewsbury away. FA cup replay. That was pretty late on from memory.

Bristol City (A) in Nov 81. 2-1 down won 3-2. Even though we were still 20th you just felt we could do it after that.
Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
Gillingham away. Ian Wright came on and got the equaliser. Set us up to just pip them for promotion.

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
Yep but think it was after the game. Burnley fans got kept in and home fans went round back of stand and started lobbing bricks at us. I think the floodlights might even been switched off and so we were getting showered with bricks in the dark

Hull away when we won 3-2
We were hilariously crap until we scored, then we absolutely battered them and you can't beat a last minute winner

If so, I remember being at work and checking my phone and seeing us losing then on my way home I checked the score again and we'd somehow won.
Dunno why that game sticks with me, but there we are.

3 o clock kick off methinks. I remember walking through a car park where loads of car windows had been smashed.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 1:49 pmYep but think it was after the game.

Police bothered? Did they look bothered? NO!

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
I remember that game, great comeback. I think we drew 3-3 against Orient the week before. Also 1976 I think we were 0-2 down against Wesf Ham. David Cross scored both their goals, we came back to win 3-2 and it was a featured match on MOTD when they only showed a couple of games each week.Ptangyangkipperbang wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 1:50 pmCharlton 1976 4-1 down with 15 mins to go finished 4-4

Re: Games to match today in terms of late excitement
It def was a 3pm kick off but in winter it can get dark after 5pm. It might not have been as dark as I remembered but for some reason its in my head they turned floodlights off with Burnley fans still being kept in by the police

I can remember very clearly that it was light because of my circuitous route back to Cardiff Station.
