Jordan North chants Turf Moor Happy Place - Big brother,

[sinkov]

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.

What's the best one 59 ? Which moment out of them whole would you re-live if you could ?

I'm making a special thread for that excellent question sinkov.

Cheers BT, and of course I meant 'out of them all', not 'out of them whole'. Grammar School education wasted on some people.

What's the best one 59 ? Which moment out of them whole would you re-live if you could ?

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....

I just took you literally sinkov, you having the grammar school education and all that!
