Re: Your standout memory
Being stood at the Parthenon in Athens before the Olympiacos game. As someone whose first game saw us losing 3-1 to York City, that's when it hit me how far we had come and how special this club is as people came up to wish us luck. We suffered a real injustice later that evening but I will never forget the pride I felt at that moment.

First ever game, at home to preston, late's 70s. 1-1 I seem to remember we equalised near the end, as I was stood at the top of the longside with my mum. Whether time has changed my memory is irrelevant, I was hooked.

Re: Your standout memory
A few for me.
Derby Cup replay; awesome day when the result was secondary.
Wade's Wembley winner.
Charlton away celebrating promotion with that Inflatable trophy while the EFL made fools of themselves at Middlesboro!
Ade Akinbiyi Hat trick match at Luton Guy Fawkes night 2005 (two wonderful strikes and a penalty). Beast sent off, Spicer goes in goal with massive gloves.
Oddly also a Tuesday night away at Barnet, ground absolutely rammed, Stan Flashman stated the crowd as 4,000.Bonkers!
Scunthorpe away 2000, Promotion under Stan, Glenn Little's goal still one of my favourites.
And lastly Reading away Play off Semi final second leg, those two goals and the performance that night convinced me we were heading for the promised land.

Re: Your standout memory
Mine has to be the Orient game as it was the day I started supporting the Clarets. I grew up in Rossendale and my best mate at school was a city fan and I started going to Maine Rd with him back in the 70s.
In '84 I moved to Burnley. During the pitch invasion after the match I decided that as I'm now living in Burnley I should be supporting my home town team, and I have done ever since.
Notable mentions have to go to Wembley sherpa van trophy final, York away, scunthorpe away watching on the big screen at TM, and the 2 playoff finals at Wembley as well as numerous more
