The first league game I ever saw at The Lane was a 4-3 win over West Brom. I stood on the old John Street terrace. I left the match, with my dad, blissfully thinking it would always be like this......
I can recall 4-4 with Birmingham, 4-2 v Man City, Chelsea. 5-3 v Cardiff, 6-3 v Orient, 5-4 v Brighton, 7-4 v Northampton - but I can't remember a 4-3.
Must have been one in last 25 years?
Don't ever resist Darren. I regard Silent and yourself as the Time Lords of the board and my personal diary - keepers.Can't resist....
1st October 1966 - Woodward 2, Jones, Reece.

4-3 v Portsmouth under Warnock. Paul Furlong scored winner from penalty spot...
Maddess games had to be the 5-3 vs Cardiff. It was 0-0 at half-time...has there been a game like that before??!
Torquay at home in the 4th was as bizarre.
0-0 on 40 minutes. 4-0 at half time. 4-0 at full time. That would have been a bad match to go for a piss and a pie 5 minutes before half time!
4-1 at full time
3rd April 1982 (the day after the Argentinian invasion of the Falklands as it happened). I was there and it was weird.
You were in the Falklands Dazzler?
Even now you've said it was 4-1 I can't remember Torquay scoring. In fact other than that 5 minutes (and Torquay playing in yellow) I remember nothing at all of the match.
I was also there at the Torquay match and remember talking to people about would Ardilles stay at Spurs and was he getting booed that afternoon. I was sure it was 4-0 as well!!!

Remember it well. Furlong got 2 that day including a last-minute winner in front of the kop. Shaun Derry got sent off for Pompey. Crouch played and scored with a header at the Lane end Robert Prosinecki was the foreign player who was absolutely head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. I would have loved a player like him at The Lane.4-3 under Warnock was a funny game, I remember Monty scoring at the Kop and maybe Jaffo got one too. Can't recall the other scorer other than Furlong but I recall Crouch being Keith Curle's bitch, Tracey chucking one in and some amazing experienced foreign player for Pompey bossing it and scoring atleast one.

Cheers, however I am positive that the last minute penalty was infront of the bramall lane end.
He strolled around the pitch (he had a free role) without breaking sweat and our players found it hard to get near him everytime he had the ball. Glad I saw a player of his class. I remember "nasty" Curle frustrating Crouch for most of the game with his niggly tactics too

Portsmouth seemed to do well getting the odd luxury player. Of course, Prosinecki sticks out from that season but also remember them having Merson who was ridiculously talented even at his age. I'm sure they had another inbetween but can't remember for the life of me who it was! :fishbowl:

I think Furlong only played one other game for us, away at Grimsby a few games later which we lost 1-0 (and were woeful).

I saw this one too. I also recall that one of the following days' newspapers
waxed lyrical about the match saying that "it was just like games use to be".
