I read this on Sky online news, I have never heard of Jordan North, but he must be a good un if he's a Burnley fan Colner![]()
It's my happy place as well, and I really look forwards to going back in the near future.
It has given me lot's of the best memories of my life.
Oooh, great question.
For raw emotion it has to be the final whistle of the Orient game. The weeks leading up to it were akin to a loved one fighting for their life.
The previous game (Crewe away) was certainly the lowest I have ever felt, in football terms.
All the week before the game I was certain we were gonners. But on the morning of the match I felt a strange feeling of confidence. When I got to the ground and saw the size of the crowd, the intense passion of the supporters I felt part of something that was very special.
The last 25 minutes were unbearable. When the final whistle went the emotions were indescribable. Disbelief, joy, relief, love for my club and pride.
But NEVER again, please!
There have been many other special occasions.
My first match in 1962 (Forest 0-0)
The first time I went without my Dad , November 1962 Wolves 2-0. That day I really felt part of things. I vividly remember standing in the Cricket Field Stand before the game and listening to Carole King singing "It might as well rain until September"
Watching us beat Spurs 7-2
Watching us beat Naples 3-0
Beating Wigan to gain promotion to the Prem (What a goal by Ashley Barnes)
Beating QPR to gain promotion to the Prem
Beating Man Utd in our first home game ever in the Prem (thanks Robbie)
And so many other special occasions.
Mind you, not all the games have been so joyful....
In 2005 at Penwortham academy PNE got through to the play-off final in 2005 at the Millennium Stadium against West Ham. PE teacher said that any PNE fans could wear their PNE shirts for PE lessons in the week leading up to the final .
"It’ll come as no surprise then to know, given Jordan’s love of Burnley, that he turned up to PE in his Burnley shirt instead!
