One to add, was actually a penalty miss. Our first season back in the Championship we were leading away to Pompey when they received a penalty in injury time. I went properly mental when they missed it. Penalty misses can be just as much fun as goals

That was a brilliant moment. We were on the far left in the away end near to the Pompey fans and I remember there was a little shelf at the front of the upper tier where a bloke and 2 women, all 3 of them abusive, chavvy-looking and giving it the big 'un all the way through the match. When the penalty was called they went mental and were already celebrating us having thrown the game. They got it back soon after in spades.

Another relatively meaningless match where I remember going berserk was the Leicester game at Withdean where we conceded 2 goals, took Robbie Savage off and then won the game. At half-time at the burger van at the back of the Family Stand, [MENTION=516]Rusthall Seagull[/MENTION] and I were asking each other what the hell we were doing there, little did we know what was to come. I lost my keys celebrating the winner. That night I think either Rusthall or [MENTION=3073]KLF[/MENTION] brought along a youngster for his first ever match too.

Big cheers [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] for giving me an excuse to revisit the magnificent Withdean YearsTriple DVD. Happy to confirm (DVD1, couple of seconds before 39th minute) what me brain cells somehow obliterated: Lee Steele's last-gasp winner v Bristol city, Easter Monday 2002, didn't trickle over the line. Was a ('five yards offside') glancing header where the ball went one way and the keeper went the other. :albion: :albion:

Ah yes I remember that one now but wasn't there. So come on people who was the late last gasp winner against from Lee Steele at Withdean, diving header, East end of ground and trickled under the keeper. I think for a 2-1 win...?!

EXCELLENT shout.

Another good call - the winner in that game (an own goal by a lad on loan at Leicester from Liverpool, I think?) was a special moment. That was the [MENTION=4702]pornomagboy[/MENTION] game, of course.

When our 3rd went in against Charlton last year, made better by a girl (friend) of mine sitting with her grandad in the away end and sending a group text to us all when they went 2 up saying " hahaha so this is what you boys do every week!?"

Not a goal, but surprised no-one has mentioned FDM's penalty save against Man City

Lee Steele's last-gasp winner v Bristol city, Easter Monday 2002. We won 2-1 and finally overtook Reading after slowly but surely pegging them back en route to the Double Championes Division 2 title. Genuinely thought I was going to give myself a coronary when that one went in. Spent far more time than was healthy endlessly staring at the Ceefax Page 325 league table that season.

Glad someone mentioned this. Probably one of mine, too. That was the moment I knew we were getting promoted.

Baz Savage away at Hartlepool deserves a mention (apologies if someone has already done so). It had the magic ingredients of being in the final minutes, having an over the top team celebration that the home crowd disliked and most of all was classic, clumsy Baz. I have no idea how he kept control of the ball on that dribble...cue massive celebration in the away end.

A mention for Eric Potts late winner at Blackburn in 78. An amazing game with both teams having to win to stay in the promotion race. A combination of the hours on the Seagull Specia to get there and the quality and importance of the game but I remember going insane on the terrace when he slotted it in.

Hereford with a mention for Forest.

Hereford was just the craziest day ever and the goal was just an explosion of relief. Forest I fell down about 5 steps with a couple of mates on top of me to make sure it really hurt! Took me about 2 hours to notice the bruises though...

Storer, Reinelt, Cullip, Virgo, Buckley were all big on the crazy stakes. I think the comeback goals are always the best maybe. Reinelt probably takes it. Potts' injury time double v Sunderland was pretty epic too.

For pure tension release David Platt's goal for England vs Belgium in 1990 in the 120th minute is hard to beat. I was in the Pavilion End off Bow Lane and the place went mental, pandemonium, everything was in the air. Never saw the final whistle.

First goal against Leeds at home last week.
Five minutes later a steward warned me about 'over celebrating' and the cameras being on me.
The three Leeds sitting behind me were slung out at halftime - cheerio
