This is about the best link I could find, and to be honest, I think it's superb. Apart from the hilarious Yank trying to make out he knows something about the beautiful game that is "Soccer", the commentary is superb. I can only imagine what you United supporters must have felt like that night.

Tynan's_Dad Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Marino Keith scoring the 94th minute winner away at Swindon just two minutes after the Swindon equaliser and with the Swindon fans singing "2-0 and you f***ed it up!". Mickey Evans scoring in his final game for Argyle at home to Ipswich in front of the Devonport End. I celebrated that as much as promotion games. Friio's goal v QPR. The moment I knew we were promoted. Martin Barlow scoring at home to Gillingham in March '96 promotion run in. Friio scoring two goals right at the end of the game (possibly in injury time?) at home to Gillingham to turn a 1-0 defeat into a 2-1 win. Friio saving a shot in the final game of Argyle's last promotion season. Sent off and gave away a penalty. Penalty was missed and clean sheet was kept. Winning 3-0 away at Forest in their relegation season. Awsome atmosphere and great day. Halmosi scoring in the 1-0 win away at Sheff Utd. the game after Holloway had left. 0-0 draw away at Notts County the game after Sturrock had left for Saints. A huge Argyle crowd saw McCormick save a pen to hold on. Super Rory Fallon scoring twice at Ashton Gate to secure a win against City. Ian Stonebridge scoring a 93rd minute header away at the scum to get a 3-2 win at St. Aimless Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
