Stepgar Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Well that was brilliant - and when we look back at the end of the season this could be a pivotal moment. That said it got me thinking........what other amazing comebacks have we had I mean we have been on the back end of a few but what ones stick out on your mind? Norwich I seem to remember was epic.

Yours? Yeh that comeback is definately up there in one of the games I've been to the time I've been watching Saints and yeh the Norwich one is also up there for me aswell and yeh am also agreeing that win could make or break whether we go up coming 2nd which I really hope we do or to go up via the Play Offs which would also be Good, although I don't particularly fancy playing Peterborough in the Play Off Final if we get there but we will see!

Bailey Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I seem to recall a game back in the Prem. Fulham at home, we went 2-0 down. If I remember correctly, Beattie scored a hat-trick and we went on to win 4-2. Great game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Norwich in the JPT was a memorable night. I know people joke about DVDs, but when we do go up I would definitely buy a DVD of this season. For that game and other games like B'Mouth away and Oldham 6-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbul Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Saints v Newcastle in 1995 (?) We were 0-1 down with about 87 minutes gone when Neil Heaney came on. Turned the game around and we ended up winning 3-1. Of course, all the people that only had tickets for 85 minutes had gone and missed the best bit....

jawillwill Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Colchester at home earlier this season. We never actually went behind but they had some good periods of the game and we were on the back foot for a good 10 minutes mid-way through the second half. We managed to hold on though for an impressive 0-0 draw after regaining our composure in the last 15 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 At home to Ipswich town in 1980/81 season. 3-0 down, 3-1 at half time with Keegan penalty. Second half serge against the likes of Alan Brazil, Eric Gates, etc etc. we won 4-3. Best game ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one for me, especially as I was right behind the Archers Road goal that night! Preston away wasn't bad either with DMG getting a last minute winner after we'd been 2 down at half time.

BigShadow Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 (edited) About 15 years ago, 3-0 down against Liverpool at The Dell with 15 mins left to play - got it back to 3-3 in injury time - pretty sure was a midweek game. Edit: Just checked - was 26th August 2000 - nobody left the ground early that night!! Edited 2 April, 2011 by BigShadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acersaint Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Definitely the Newcastle come back. The players thought they had won the cup. Keegan ( Newcastle manager at the time ) was seething. Driving back to Brum after game radio Solent were replaying the commentary of the goals and the poor bloke was screaming like a banshee and by the time the third goal went in he had lost his voice. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, Beattie scored a hat-trick and we went on to win 4-2. Great game! I saved the day - true story. Got caught in a huge traffic jam, and my pre match beers at the Pub where I was going to watch the match here in Dubai, were missed and I arrived about 20 mins into the game only to see the score 0-2 on the top right hand corner of the screens - bad day just got worse - get the beer in - the rest is all history - todays was a million times more stressful for sure!!!

Dimond Geezer Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Newcastle 1-0 when Ruddock scored the penalty at the end. Dire match ending a run of god knows how many defeats. Ruddock nearly broke the net with the pen. Turned the season around and we managed to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I seem to recall a game back in the Prem. Fulham at home, we went 2-0 down. If I remember correctly, Beattie scored a hat-trick and we went on to win 4-2. Great game! Defo one of my favourite games. Absolutely tore them a new one and that was the catalyst on our march up to 4th... I know someone else on this board will remember but our performances actually went wobbly straight after a contention 2-2 v Boro away after leading 2-0. Still, we played some great stuff that year...

um pahars Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I know someone else on this board will remember but our performances actually went wobbly straight after a contention 2-2 v Boro away after leading 2-0. Still, we played some great stuff that year... Was at the Boro game and knew it would end in tears the minute the Saints fans started to sing it's just like watching Brazil!!!!! Granted we were totally outclassing Boro, but having been a Saints fan for 30+ years I always thought it was a tad premature and somewhat asking for trouble. Sure enough a very late, and dubious penalty, meant it would end in tears. Anyway, twas a good day out and that Tuxedo Royale/Princess or whatever it was called has to be one of the best pre match boozers I have been in.

hutch Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Without thinking too far back, the win away at Exeter a couple of months ago was probably up there with this one in the context of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwantsapint Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 That fulham game was great went with mate & his boy ( poss his 1st ever game ) mate decided to get the beers in after about 30 mins took offence to my reaction of saints are gonna score before half time the boy said I want to stay with paul half time 2-2? mate couldn't work out what all the noise was that same season we came back to draw 2-2 at fulham with niemi's acrobatics 2-0 down doddsey passed back to top corner but antti lept up controlled ball on chest to clear then in final secs deflected a corner on to killer to equalise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
