BEST: Alan Kelly

WORST: We've been quite lucky in this regard down the years. I wasn't there, but it has to be the one and only Lee Baxter

So it was our best post war crowd not the worst!

The 67000 referred to the people on the Kop. There was more like 250,000 in the ground that day.

Best Kit - The Wards strip that Borbokis's team wore

Away days:

BEST: Southampton, Xmas 2006 (1-0, Shipperley)

WORST: Leeds, Easter 1989 (0-4)

Next: Goalkeepers

BEST: Anfield, Good Friday 1968 1-2 (two from Currie, Reece, Woodwaaaaaaard)
WORST: Leeds, Easter 1989 (0-4)

That 1967-68 season was one of the best I have ever known mostly because it was when I started going to away matches.

We got to the 6th round of the FA Cup losing 1-0 to Leeds at Bellend Road. After that glorious win at Anfield (lift back home to Sheff on the team coach thrown in....), of the next and last 7 matches of the season, 5 were at home. We took only three points, one at home versus Liverpool and 2 points at Turf Moor which in those days was a fortress very similar to Anfield. We were relegated by a single point (goal average would have kept us up). Fantastic season though.
