He did indeed - fooled us into thinking we'd landed a goal machine

I always enjoy seeing that game again on the Roadrunner season review video/dvd copy. Pitch invasion follows every goal!

Still have some of the chalk from the penalty spot at the Lever End from which Super John dispatched the penalty against Preston :D

Forgot to mention; Scunthorpe. Hell hole, especially on a wet tuesday night, when all the unemployed steelworkers with no longer any steel to hammer, hang around outside the ground 'till full time and kick f*ck out of you 'cos it's better than stayin' in.

I like big, shiny stadiums with bouncy seats but I don't mind if a club has an older ground as long as I don't get rained on.

The most old-skool ground I've been to was York but it was quite a nice walk to the ground and it's non-league so you can't be too critical.
Grimsby - I liked that you had to almost walk through the sea to get there.
Barnsley - ok, can't think of many positives there :wink:
Southampton - not sure whether it was the old or the new one but the sun was in my eyes for half the game.

Can't quite remember the absolute worst, but honourable mentions go to Goodison Park, Maine Road and the old Wembley.
