A few to note:
- Tony Agana's late penalty in the epic FA Cup 5th round second replay at Oakwell in 1989/90. I made a full scrap book from the Star's coverage of those ties. I went to the first two games but had to settle for the radio for the third match (which we played at Oakwell after losing a coin toss).
- The whole home crowd hurling abuse at Steve Agnew as he scored their winner at The Lane later in the same season. I really thought that had ruined our promotion chances.
- Losing my glasses in the barmy celebrations on the away end when Ian Bryson scored a last-minute penalty to win 2-1 at Oakwell. Proper nerve from Jock, that was. I think that game might also have had Carl Bradshaw's first goal for United.
- An absolutely cracking 3-3 draw at Bramall Lane in 1999/2000, with a last-minute equaliser from floppy arms Marcus Bent.
- Getting nasty sunstroke when lost 2-1 in 1998/99. I remember Alan Kelly asking the ref to add more time on when we were chasing the game at 1-0 down. Then we equalised very late on, and Kelly's requests backfired as they scored in the last minute of injury time.
- Morgan's 'incident' with Ian Hume at Oakwell in 2008/09, with Ugo Ehiogu also getting sent off.
