Can you remember all the games you've ever been to? Just which games? Or more details such as the scores, who played, who played well (or badly)? Have you got a picture in your head of the play leading up to each goal - and the goal itself?
Most games I've forgotten, but I still have vivid memories of certain goals going back 40 odd years. Goals like Les Bradd's 89th minute winner at the City ground where most of us were leaping in celebration almost before he made contact. We knew Big Les didn't miss those! I remember going mental at Elland Road when Ian Scanlon scored, and the shock and delight when Brian Stubbs powered in a header to equalise against Palace at Selhurst Park on our first match back in Division 2 (now the Championship).
