What is everyone's top, greatest and most memorable games of all time?

Since I've been watching since the early nineties I must say my top five based on action, glory and entertainment has to be..

1, 2-1 v Liverpool
2, 2-1 v Bournemouth
3, 1-0 v Northampton
4, 1-0 v Tottenham
5, 6-5 v Burnley

Obviously the older of us will remember past glories and past epics..any thoughts ?

Coventry City away, FA Cup 72/73.  

Hordes of Town fans - caused huge tailbacks right through Leicester.   Took the Clee Grammar coach. Town took over the entire Spion Kop - I was in a side stand - what a sight and sound from the Mariners!  

Fantastic performance too: I was devastated as only a teenager could be to lose right at the death to an unfair penalty -- which, just to twist the knife further, was scored by a lad who was brought up in Blundell Avenue.

Wimbledon  away in the cup with our mate Harry Haddock


Have followed Town for all my life during the ups and downs.

My son plays for school of excellence which is so well run without any funding and can see some future stars in the lower age teams.

Tough one, so many to chose from, probably missed a few out here.

1, Town 2-1 Exeter, 1991, pure atmosphere resulting in promtion.
2, Town 6-5 Burnley, 2002? What a game!
3, Town 3-1 West Ham, 1997? Outclassed premier leauge opposition.
4, Town 1-0 Spurs, Defoe, Keane, King, Robinson, Lennon, Jenas....beaten by JP Kalala
5, Town 2-1 Bournmouth, 1998 first time at Wembley.

All to be beaten by Luton 0-4 Town, April 2013, resulting in promotion back to the FL
