Millwall, Goldstone 2-0 down h.t won 3-2 1977 half the North Stand was Millwall.

And Mullery wouldn't let them in the changing room, so the players spent half time on the pitch.

Millwall were on all sides of the Goldstone that day, with many of them wearing surgical masks!
The North Stand stood their ground , and gave as good as they got.

Played in a game myself when I was a kid, must have been 14/15 years old.

4-0 down at half time to the league leaders. Gave ourselves a talking to at half time whilst sucking on the half time oranges and came out like a team possessed.

Full time whistle went and we’d turned it round to win 6-5. Absolute scenes.

35 years ago this week Brighton beat Spurs 2-1 with two very late goals. According to the MOTD commentator it was our first home win in the league since December.

I was surprised how lukewarm the response was at the final whistle, nothing like the intensity of this season when we've won at home.

Lazarus.

He set the standard by which all others are subsequently measured.

Ah, yes, the ex West Ham and Birmingham winger.

Or indeed Mark Lazarus, the QPR player who scored the winner in the 1969 League Cup Final.

"Having gone two goals down by half time, the QPR team staged a comeback during the second half. With nine minutes of the game remaining, Ron Hunt collided with the WBA goalkeeper, knocking the ball loose. Lazarus latched onto the loose ball and slammed it into the back of an empty net, his team winning the match and trophy 3-2."

Just goes to show that being seemingly dead and buried isn't always how it ends up.

Hibs were leading Motherwell 6-2 a few years ago. Final score 6-6. You can guess the ex seagulls keeper who was in goal for Hibs......
