Mal Bailey's header at Runcorn in the 1978 FA Trophy Semi-Final Second Leg.

A quiet and anonymous walk back to the car after the game; the wait until you got a couple of miles out of Runcorn.....and then the release of pent-up euphoria at the thought of Alty actually playing at Wembley!

I always thought the 1-2 win at BPA in 04-05 was one of the most pivotal results in our recent history accompanied  by a very middle aged pitch invasion

Enfield, trophy semi-final 2nd leg 1986. 1-1 after the first leg, facing the league champions to be who had murdered us 4-1 in the league a few weeks before. My abiding memory is of Keith Hayzelden condeing a penalty. For the rest of the game, a middle-aged Alty fan, stood near me and my mate, shouted "YOU dirty bastard" at him.

For the older ones among us, here is a link to a great set of photos from the game, posted by an Enfield fan. I think there are 10 pics after this one.

Alty's brilliant 4-1 thumping of Barnet in 91. Great crowd what an atmosphere.

The Ronnie Ellis lob over the keeper.

Me & a mate were stood low down behind the goal on Golf Road & we both started cheering at about 3.10pm when West Tip won the Grand National as we both had bets on.

I loved our day at Stoke as already mentioned, it wiped away a lot of pain from my mind still there from when we got relegated from the GMVC 1st time round.

Home games it had to be Wigan for me, felt like Moss Lane was packed to the rafters that day and it seemed like we would have beaten Real Madrid if they had turned up at Moss Lane.

I think thats one of my favourite ever starting 11's for Alty, a team full of character.

sheffield united away was a good one as were the two consecutive wins over blackpoll



That 3-0 FA Cup First Round replay victory over Sheffield United at Moss Lane in 1981 wasn't too bad either!

We comprehensively outplayed them that night - Barry Howard in majestic form and a superb strike from Graham Heathcote.


THIS. Not sure I can recall a better performance by any Alty side. Night replay, great atmosphere, pride & passion in spades.

Full of respect for Dave Ryan...took a lot of verbal from us but still turned out on the Golf Road every now and again.

FA Cup against Lincoln late 1988. As I recall, the team was in the doldrums at the time. Ronnie Ellis with the late winner. I'd come home for the weekend from Poly in Nottingham.

The Kettering PO Semi always (rightly) gets a lot of play but the game against Nuneaton before that was just as good if not better. Nuneaton's last ever game at their old Manor Park ground and the place was absolutely rocking, a proper bear pit. Our lads showed great bottle that night and came through the penalty shoot out at the Nuneaton home end too. That was an intense night.
