Looking at the leeds result ,led me to thinking -have we ever conceded six at home?I can`t remember .I remember a five all against coventry in the early 80s.Anyone help?

 

That Coventry game was one of the best games i ever had the privelige to attend, night game ****ing with rain like tonight if my memory is correct?

Does the 6-2 against Spurs count though as Grobelaar took a bung to let the shots from Rosenthal in!?! I could have saved two of them from my seat behind the goal!

 

Sorry I forgot it was just a coincidence someone was filmed giving Grobelaar a brown paper bag with cash in it around the same time as the game!

Swindon Town (Home) 0-6; Plymouth Argyle (Home) 0-6; Brentford (Home) 0-6.

 

These results were some time ago but I think there might be some fans who remember the 0-6 defeat versus Brentford.

 

Other corkers are 0-8 at Everton, 0-8 at Tottenham, 2-8 at Bury! The number of seven goal defeats are even more including 0-7 versus Luton Town not that long ago.

 

Big wins - 6-2 and 6-0 at Wolves, 6-0 at Carlisle, 8-2 at home versus Coventry, 9-3 versus Wolves - in the Southern League days we beat Northampton and Watford 11-0 in successive seasons (remembering at that time the Southern League was professional and seen as a serious rival to the Football League).

 

And of course we scored 112 goals in 46 games in 1957-58 - scoring shedloads at home (I'm sure there's a few on here that remember that - even I'm too young though).

You 're right. Came out on a high having witnessed 10 goals only to hear that HMS Sheffield had been sunk by the Argies before we even reached the car, put a slight damper on the evening

Match was 01/03/95 : http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=221501

Grobbelaar was arrested two weeks later : http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/bungs-and-bribes-football-cant-kick-this-habit-1611274.html

 

But the videoed meetings were in September and October 1994, and the "bung" video came out in November 1994...

so he'd have had to have been pretty stupid to chuck a couple in AFTER everyone was watching him following these revelations.

6-2 win at Chelsea, same season as they beat us 5-3 at the Dell (67/68 IIRC)

It was on May 4th 1982, my 21st birthday! It was in fact a beautifully clear early summer evening! Mark Hately hat-trick for Coventry; Bally scoring from 25 yards for probably the only time in his long career! One of my mates brought his girlfriend along to her first match, but she went down with food poisoning early in the game and he had to do the honourable thing and take her home - it was 1-0 when they left I think!

 

 

The atmosphere was dampened somewhat later in the evening though on finding out that HMS Sheffield had been sunk!
