Can't answer that, too many heroes
Hereford; I have never experienced emotions like that at a football game before or since. I thought I was going to explode with sheer relief when Robbie scored. The nerves, the amazing support, the players celebrations, the lunatic Hereford fans trying to kill us and, most memorable of all; the look of utter bemusement and wonder on the WPC's face next to me when she watched our goal celebrations.

Danny Wilson/ John Keeley/ John Crumplin/Michel Kuipers/ Bobby/Danny/ no-one for that black period during the late 90s
Favourite moments- promotion v Bristol Rovers 1988-89, play off semis v Millwall, Wendy's free kick v Ipswich to get us there, Championship v Chesterfield, any game featuring Barry Fry, the Brian Little Mexican wave a couple of weeks ago, Bellotti getting chased out of the Director's box v Darlington, Fans United v Hartlepool, ball boy annoying Man City by heading the ball back into the crowd, Storer v Doncaster, break-in v Mansfield at the boycott match, and, of course, Hereford, even though I wasn't there and had to listen on the radio.
Makes you realise, doesn't it, even a club like us generates enough utterly memorable moments to almost make all the crap defeats and lifeless performances over the years worthwhile.

first game 87/88, so 15 years - seems longer.
steve foster (only saw him second time around) or danny cullip
the moments when the donny players carried round that sign at the goldstone, when the final whistle went at hereford, when chappers scored against bournemouth, when deano scored against ipswich, the first time i stood in the north stand with my dad vs. liverpool at home and i couldn't see anything so this bloke got all his mates to move, seeing my old man cry when we got promoted at plymouth...
there's too many.

Player is undoubtedly Garry Nelson
Far too many, bizarrely a 3-3 draw at home to Bournemouth when Liam Brady was in charge, the North Stand went barmy after coming from 3-1 down. A 3-1 win at Ipswich in the play-off year when we were 2-0 up in the first seven minutes. The 3-1 Boxing Day win against Palace in '89, classic.
So many more, but they are the ones that stick out. SUPERB

Supported the Albion 50 years this year
Jimmy Langley, Billy Curry, Peter Ward, Jimmy Case, Sir Bob.
Every promotion, starting in April 1958 thru to 2002, all of the cup run in '83, and numerous other times, just too many to mention.

When I say I have supported the Albion for 50 years, 1954 was the first time I saw them at the Goldstone.

Sorry to cut away from the memories, but Im suprised no-one has put down the Palace game where there were 5 pens. Surely for those that went it was memorable?
