One of my grandsons asked me if I ever watched any games not involving Argyle, which led to a discussion on the best ones, excluding internationals. I ended up with a top three of
The Torquay game (can’t remember which year) which Torquay had to win to stay up, and they won in injury time after an incident on the pitch involving a police dog. Great drama.
Ipswich v Liverpool cup game the Saturday after John Lennon was shot. Very emotional travelling kop singing all his songs and an amazing game involving Keegan and Toshack.
Early 80s cup final, Arsenal 3, Man U 2. One of the most open cup finals ever where I accompanied some grief stricken MU mates, thoroughly enjoying being a neutral.
