There are a number that stick in my mind over the years.
But how about that game in against Bristol City. 17th August 1991.
It seems odd to think that was 27 years ago. And as I remember it (being in the West Stand) Roots Hall was looking very different with the changes that had taken place to remove the standing areas and put in seating.
It was of course our first game in Division 2 and finished 1-1. Attendance of only 6,720 - that surely must be down to the summer holidays. Our goal came from Benjie (who else!) David Webb was the manager then and as I remember it, the game wasn't a cracker but still interesting as it was the first time we had a chance to see whether we could compete at that level - and we did.
I'm sure I have a programme somewhere and I might try to dig it out.
