Jack Dawe Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 18 hours ago, TRL said: For me yes. We had not beaten them for years. Beating your local rivals meant and still for mean more than beating man u. Maybe football meant more to me back then It was ten consecutive derby games without a win, over more than 4 years, and 5 years from our previous league win over them. And we finished second to them in 1989/90. That Donowa goal was enormously cathartic for thousands of us. I still have the 1:0 badge with the date. However, it is time for us now to move on from those L1 tossers and start writing some serious history and creating some more magical memories on the national stage that are noticed by people beyond the small-fry world of Bristol football, moments and memories that make football people around the country and beyond sit up and applaud, moments like last night. Here's hoping last night was just the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 John Atyeo's goal against Oldham in 1965 that put us in a promotion spot for the first time with just five minutes left of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Footman's T shirt Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Right up there.....although as an 11 year old boy the win over Hereford in the freight rover semi in1986 that took us to Wembley is still special. Donowa v Rovers, Mardon v Forest, Tins at Anfield, Roberts v Hartlepool all magic in their own way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealing Robin Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Noble's strike at Palace away for me, still can't get over how good of a hit that was in the circumstances. Last night was right up there though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Top of games I've been at: 1. Mansfield away. The ultimate game and comeback. 2. Hartlepool in PO's. Roberts again! 3. Last night. So hard to pick a winner but probably still Mansfield. Just a ridiculous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinMan's left peg Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hartlepool was sited by Louis Carey and many others as the loudest Ashton Gate has ever been. I’ll also call it a tie. I went from head in my hands almost unable to bear watching any more to complete euphoria and disbelief when Roberts scored. Last night was basically as good though (albeit a different context), my God it was loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red84 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 1st. For me Murray's double always tops my list vs Cardiff. It was the atmosphere, against them and 3 goals in 6 mins. Regretted the half time burger!! 2nd. Roberts goal vs hartlepool, never seen the gate bouncing like that before. Let's not forget Goodfellow who equalised to make 'that' moment happen! 3rd. I was lucky enough to be in the away end for nobles goal vs palace. Palace were quiet up until they scored then bang, limbs everywhere!! 4th. Palace at home. The atmosphere in extra time was incredible. Trundles then McIndoes strikes raising the roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, because Whiteheads goal was in the 3rd minute, it didn't have the same impact, the final whistle did though. I also would go with @Kid in the Riots suggestion of Roberts V Hartlepool. In the end, it's not just the goal, it's the game and the significance that has to be factored in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 For pure drama, stakes and crowd reaction it has to be Hartlepool, 2 mins to go 1-0 down Goodgame builds up the crowd with an equaliser, 2 mins later Roberts dribbles through and the crowd get nitro injection! Total pandemonium! For pure enjoyment and watching the best city football ever, and this includes the 76-77-78-79 teams, it had to be Wednesday night!

RedRock Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Another vote for Gillies at Coventry. When you take 18,000 odd fans away and then grab an equaliser from 2-0 down to save your 1 division status, for Bristol City at least, it just can’t get much better! Was in their open end that night too, so happened in front of me and a few thousand other late arrivals. Korey’s is close to it mind, alongside Paul Marden’s I’d say somewhere in the top 5. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you weren't there and didn't live through those 5 years of gas lording it over us then I don't think you could ever understand what a great moment it was. Beats Man U, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Hartlepool hands down. As much as I loved these games and they are right up there, the emotion and the timing of that goal.... it probably will never be beaten for me. I am sure people going to games earlier than the late 70's will have their thoughts on better moments.. But in my lifetime of watching city it doesn't get better... granted gas and us were huge rivals back then which is what made it so special.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 All of the above but I`m surprised only one mention for Martyn Hirst v the g*s. That meant so much in the overall scheme of things back then. City were back and fighting again. Respect @Gillies Downs Leeds Another great moment for me - but not a goal- was sitting on the terraces at Wembley sobbing my heart out after we`d won the FRT.

bristolcitysweden Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 This is the greatest moment in the history of Bristol City F.C. With the ultra extreme money for the PL teams we did not only play them, we outplayed them. On style. We reminded people all around the world of what football really is about. We gave them hope for the future of football. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it`s raw emotion really, something that is deep down in the psyche of every human being but is normally kept well hidden. Dear God though, it is a powerful and wonderful thing when it does surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
