favourite derby memories

[Kilteragh]

my favourite as well, it was an easter monday I think, we all piled out of work and into the nearest boozer was watchin it with a bluenose and took great delight in that goal

Had just arrived back from my honeymoon. Had the match recorded and didn't know the result.

Wife wanted to head over to her folks to say hello (great start to a marriage ) so I happily laid my jet-lagged body on the couch and watched Gary Mac do his magic.

First ever match I went to was a derby at Goodison. Finished 0-0. think it was '86. Rush hit the crossbar with a header.

Can go back further than ne1 Anfield early 70's 2nd half blue****e score twice with 20 mins to go its still 2-0 to them then a young winger scores an impossible goal from the byline..............his name..............Steve Highway



a few minutes later our record signing (£110,000) Toshack equalises to send the kop into raptures




2 minutes to go and Toshack heads down to the unmarked full back Chris Lawler to pick his spot......................As I jumped up in delight along with 25000 other standing Kopites.......... I saw the Annie road emptying


OH HAPPY DAYS

those familiar with Chris Lawler may like to comment on the rumour/urban myth that he actually smiled that day

I was there too...a young lad standing on his beloved Kop, my first Derby game, truly a magnificent comeback, Quite unbelievable, it is etched on my memory forever , my feet didn't touch the ground for the last twenty minutes, I was being carried around in the Kop like a cork on the ocean.


The best Chris Lawler story .....

about Chris Lawler and his quiet nature comes from an incident where Shankly was playing in a five-a-side match and a goal by Shanks was being disputed. Chris was asked to settle the dispute and in his typical short and to-the-point manner simply said, “No goal, boss.” Shankly was livid and started yelling, saying to him, “Bloody hell Chris! Ye don’t open yer mouth for ten years and now when yer do it’s a bloody lie!”

was that the game when gerrard scored that arrow into the far corner. i've told this story before (its the only goodison derby i've been to) so apologies in advance for those who have heard it

My favourite part about it was that about 30 seconds or a minute before SG had the ball on the halfway line and fell over it with noone near him.

The bluenoses were singing "steven gerrard, what a w@nker what a w@nker" and then he got the ball and slammed it into the net (impossible angle as well) before running off down the line with his hand cupped to his ear, grinning his head off.

I've never seen so many smiles wiped off faces so fast (i was in with the ****e- needless to say i was sitting on my hands)

one of my favourite stevie moments- i'm sure this weekend will get his blood up and get him back to form. he's about due an absolute screamer

man I remember thinking we'd blown our chance of cl footy just before he took the freekick, think we'd lost to Leeds on the Good Friday match and lost the lead against the Blue****e. When that freekick smacked the back of the net....

If you watch the clip, you'll obviously see that this was the game when gerrard scored that arrow into the far corner.
Good story though. You haven't told it to me before

Mate I was at the same match and it was my first derby match also. The blue****e cousin got me tickets when I was over on hols but the clown got me tickets with the home supporters so I had to sit with the other bitters.

He's tellin me not to let anyone know that I'm a Red and they score and go mental and I'm the only one sitting there dejected like but no-one notices. Then we equalise and I'm the only one goin mental so he says to me, "I think they all know who you are now" (like I cared) We go 2-1, 3-1 and I'm havin a real laugh. I still don't know how I didn't get a belting.

That will always be my favourite seeing how it was my first derby

Gary Mac And his 45 yarder free kick. THAT was the moment that allowed us to go on and grab CL qualification that year.

And also the moment it gave him legendary status in my eyes.

I should really read through the thread BEFORE I post.

My favourite is when Rush scored four. Utterly ruthless.
