Grando 267 Posted April 25 Ah, it was cracking. I couldn’t get a ticket in my usual spot and ended up in the away end having to pretend to not be ecstatic when Simeon scored! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fen Canary 855 Posted April 25 Along with beating Leeds in the 3rd tier with Chris Martin’s late goal, this is probably one of favourite moments watching city in the last 30 years. Ive seen us beat Man City & Utd, Safri’s thunderb@st@rd against Newcastle, the 5-1 at Portaloo Rd, various promotions, but the sheer ecstasy of those two late goals will take some beating. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,271 Posted April 25 One of the loudest if not the loudest goal celebrations at Carrow Rd ever. I was in the Upper Barclay and had a great view of that ball somehow getting over the line. Goreham totally losing his **** and pandemonium in the Snake Pit. What a day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,965 Posted April 25 Extraordinary game and commentary. My favourite home game ever. The young lady next to me just burst into tears 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,464 Posted April 25 I hugged a stranger that day which is very unlike me. He seemed OK with it. I think I agree with Dylan that it might be my favourite ever home game. (The play off semi vs Wolves probably no2) The Goreham commentary is properly iconic. CHAAAAAAAAANCE! But the hero of that clip is the guy who falls over the hoardings and tries to style it out. Absolutely mad day. Why we keep coming back. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mannings bandy legs 392 Posted April 25 ..and all because a certain Mr. Robbie Savage took an age to leave the pitch when subbed....🤣 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barham Blitz 654 Posted April 25 Given how iconic that 3rd goal has become I'd actually forgotten what a nice finish the 2nd one was. But blimey. It can't really be 14 years ago can it ?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,541 Posted April 25 (edited) All hail Simeon Jackson. Quite a story for him (and us) that year. My other happy memory is the salty and bitter reaction of Neil Warnock waiting on our result on the pitch at QPR😂 Amazing scenes like that in the Lambert era. I try and put aside my thoughts on his conduct since he left us and think about 3 amazing years of his time in post. Which, ultimately, is how he will be truly judged. He got successive teams "going to the well" for him and that's a credit to him and the players he brought in. Happy days. Edited April 25 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodlyOtsemobor 2,343 Posted April 25 (edited) Was in the usual spot in the lower Barclay that day, never heard anything like it, that split second where everyone thought it'd been blocked and wasn't going in. Gasps turned to the loudest collective cheer ever that seemed to go on forever. Never forget that spine tingling sound that I suspect will never be recreated. It really was special and you just had to be there to get it. Edited April 25 by GodlyOtsemobor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,653 Posted April 25 Such a great experience, enhanced by the fact it was all made possible by Robbie Savage being a time wasting ****. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,298 Posted April 25 How I laughed at full-time after Savage's antics....A great day and many an ale quaffed in celebration afterwards....Cheers Robbie 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A never say die team that played some excellent football and went at teams with absolutely no fear no matter who they were. Crazy to me we finished midtable in the Premier League with a defence containing players like Marc Tierney, Elliot Ward and Zak Whitbred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, Elliot Ward was basically Van Dijk without the classy name. Do we not remember his, at time pretty random, runs forward with the ball which he actually somehow carried pretty well?

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,835 Posted April 25 I wasn't there as I was away at uni, but the Goreham commentary is probably my favourite piece of commentary of all time. Come to think if it, I was living away for both of the best periods in recent times (Lambert and Farke) so only attended sporadically. Can't help but feel I missed out somewhat 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But saying that, in the first Farke promotion season of 2018/19 I actually managed to experience the perfect blend of Lambert 2010/11 and Farke 2018/19. I had a season ticket at Lecce in the Italian Serie B who followed an eerily similar path to Lambert's side. The season before, in the third tier, Lecce had a poor start and changed manager after three games. The new man implemented a 4-3-1-2 system which saw them storm up the table and win the league. The next season, still with the same formation based around a diminutive, gifted left-footed attacking midfielder and a well-travelled targetman centre forward, they went up in second place after having picked up a lot of points with late goals. And with Norwich also having an unexpected promotion going on at exactly the same, I was feeling it twice over. So whilst I have never managed to see a promotion as a season ticket holder at Norwich, I have at least seen two elsewhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
