One of the best has to be 1979 Arsenal v Man Utd...I was watching it in the Hargreaves Arms....with Arsenal 2-0 up and the game reaching the last five minutes we were all sitting there in silence until Gordon McQueen for United stretched a leg out and scored to make it 2-1 in the 86th minute.... I was still thinking it was over when Sammy McIlroy jink around in the penalty area and he scores in the 88th minute 2-2! there was uproar in the pub, beer flying through the air and the Landlord runs up and turns the telly off!... he told us to calm down or get out...we were begging him to turn back on and after a couple of minutes he did... just in time to see Alan Sunderland head a goal in the last minute to give Arsenal a 3-2 win.... gutted!
