Any game. Think mine will have to be the Swansea 3 Blackpool 6 - doubt I'll see 10 goals in a game?
No that was home to Verona the wonder goal. Shame it was never captured on film.Pool won the 1971 final 2-1 v Bologna and lost the 1972 final 3-1 to Roma.10.0 Blackpool v Lanerossi Vicenza in Anglo-Italian Cup ronaway back in 1972. Won the final in Italy 3.1 against AS Roma in front of 75,000!
Can't remember if that was the match Suddick scored an incredible goal.
Same one for me!8

I was in the South chatting with some Brentford fans (6/7) who I think were looking for it. Got on Ok with them until Central Drive and one told a copper that I'd pulled a knife....down the backstreet I was taken and searched. I could see the lad laughing his head off- I can still remember waht he looked like and was wearing.Yep, we beat Brentford 5-4 in Division 3 in October 1979. Gate was just over 5k sadly.
It remains the highest scoring game I've seen at any ground.
I can remember in his pre match interview, Stan Ternent said he was setting up defensively after we'd conceded a few in recent games. Didn't quite work out that way, but it was an entertaining game. Derek Spence played well as I recall. I was in the South Paddock.
Was at this match, think Halifax took the lead. The 5-4 Brentford match we had about 7 defenders in the line up.8

Only one sub allowed in those days. Could be either reason or injury but I think he had let in 7 by then. Surely bring on a forward if you are 7 down️️️️️️️Am I remembering this correctly, didn’t the Lanerossi goalkeeper storm off in a huff during the game because he’d had enough….or was he being subbed?
My old man always talks about this incident! Brilliant.8

The King scored with a header which was a rare eventSame here the 10-0 Lanerossi game, didn’t The King score 4 in that game?
I thought that goal was Brockbank against York on a very windy night.8

Very rare indeed!The King scored with a header which was a rare event
Yeh I might have to get my old programmes out to check this, I was in the west paddock for the 7-1 win over Halifax, wasn’t King Billy in the Halifax line-up that night? I was in the South Stand for the goal/non-goal, definitely a different game, great view of it, think it was a 3-1 win over York.I thought that goal was Brockbank against York on a very windy night.
Billy Ayre played for Halifax.8

Remember aldershot being 5-1 I think - Rodwell hat trick. Result wiped after they went bust.Seem to remember mid-week cup fixture against Aldershot some moons ago, ended 5-3 IIRC? Probably the most I've seen to be fair.
I also thought it was Andy Brockbank (Brocklebank?) but that it was the Halifax game, not York. Stand to be corrected though.I thought that goal was Brockbank against York on a very windy night.
Forgot the Everton 5-3!!8 - Swansea 4-4
8. Everton 5-3
9 - Swansea 3-6
I was at the Lanerossi game and also remember us beating Huddersfield 6 v3 in the LDV in 2004.Any game. Think mine will have to be the Swansea 3 Blackpool 6 - doubt I'll see 10 goals in a game?
