The top ten games that I have seen, for entertainment value:
10. United 1 Arsenal 0 (2006) only the one goal, Christian Nade making himself a legend. But the fact that we played half an hour with Phil Jagielka in goal made this game extra special.
9.United 3 Nottingham Forest 2 (1990) It was December 22nd and we still hadn't won a game all season, and we were starting to wonder where that win would come. We go a goal up, only for Roy Keane to go straight up and score and Pearce to get a second. A rare Bryson header and then Deane scores the winner in front of the Kop. We celebrated like we had won the league.
8. Nottingham Forest 2 Sheffield United 5 (1992) I can't remember the details, but I didn't go to many away games then (the previous one had also finished 5-2). To see United outplay a Clough team, and Mike 'Zico' Lake score one of his wonder goals was great to see. We have had so many good games against Forest, the home match that season finished 4-2 to us.
7. United 2 Manchester United 1 (FA Cup 5th round 1993). A rare TV live game for us, I didn't give us much chance, especially when Giggs put Man Utd in front. But such a good comeback, and a classic goal by Hodges, which got Motson enthusing about his left foot!
6.Hull 5 United 3 FA Cup Semi Final 2014. OK we lost. But we gave it such a go and to be winning at half time and 45 minutes away from a cup final seemed unreal. Sadly we lost, but will always remember Hull's 5th goal when United fans started clapping. Not seen that before.
5. United 7 Northampton 3, 1982. I can't remember much about this except it chucked it down with rain all evening and there were loads of goals, more than I have ever seen at a United game. We were 6-0 up after an hour so really we should have won by more!
4. United 5 Brighton 4 (1990).the craziest game in our promotion season. 3-0 up we relaxed and suddenly found ourselves 4-3 down. Like Wilder's teams we never gave up and John Francis winning header will live long in the memory.
3. United 4 Forest 3 (playoffs 2003). Forest again! We were playing well but found ourselves 2-9 down. What a comeback and to make it even betwr Des Walker scored an own goal! Peschisolido's goal celebration an iconic image.
2. Wednesday 2 United 4 (2017). Our first game at Hillsborough for years. I missed the first two goals due to the police not letting us in and thought that I had wasted my money. I would have paid ten times the ticket price just to see Duffy stop the Wednesday fans bouncing!
1. Leicester 2 United 5 (1990). I don't think a game could be more perfect. United go up, Wednesday go down and it is boiling hot weather. When we go a goal down we all fear the worst, but then it is a goal fest for us, all the goals greeted with a pitch invasion by jubilant fans.
