Greatest comebacks

[PIERS]

3-1 down to Norwich in the Championship. Still one of my favourite ever home games.

This is still my favourite night at the Hall

Already it's a rare occurance but I think the importance of the game should also be considered. It's one thing coming back in an inconsequential league game, quite another turning it around in a knockout situation.

Re the game versus Cambridge in 1986, which I think was a Football League Trophy game, who the devil was Littlejohns who got our winning 5th goal?

Update: Having checked, David Martin scored for us and Littlejohns was a goal scorer for Cambridge.
