    I was on a high ladder painting a high ceiling in a house I'd just bought and moved into with a radio on the top step of the ladder listening to the Fairs cup Final.

    When the first goal went in I yelled and jumped up at the same time.

    Finished up on the floor surrounded by broken ladder and covered with grey paint.

    For your info only Zip I was then 33.

    Aye, the Tino vs Barca gamne was one I missed-typical!

    Either of the semi-finals against Sheff Utd or Spurs as they looked mental on the telly.

    This. The most memorable game I've had as a Newcastle fan for sure. Even if it was during the Ashley + Pardew regime, it was just unbelievable and very emotional. Still get a strange but good feeling inside when I watch the highlights. RIP Cheick.

    Also, I'd have loved to have been there when Denmark beat Germany in the Euro 92 final. But I was 7 months old.

    We ought to have won that game against Arsenal but for a couple of bad refereeing decisions.

    I feel with V.A.R. decisions would have gone our way.
