Lincoln 3-0 Sheffield Utd

Ian Plenderleith remembers the night when it felt like Lincoln could beat anyone

It wasn’t the size of the Sheffield United team that came to Sincil Bank that had the home support worried. It was the number of away fans. You could see them crossing the bridge from the coach park in the gap between the old wooden South Park and St Andrews stands. It was a never-ending stream and, for the only time in all the matches I ever saw at Lincoln, they took over the entire swath of open-top terrace that stretched alongside the ground, leaving the home fans to cram in behind the goal at the Railway End.

No shortage of material in this category. We've all got our nominations and it becomes a question of which to leave out. One that gets in without much argument was perpetrated in Manchester United’s Champions League match against Feyenoord in 1997, when Paul Bosvelt crashed his studs into Denis Irwin’s calf, a really dangerous foul. Sándor Puhl, who didn’t even show a yellow card, was dropped from the rest of the competition as well as France 98, missing the chance of becoming the first referee to take charge of two World Cup Finals.
