10 years ago today Oldham Athletic 5 Peterborough 4.

 

Probably one of the best sporting comebacks I've witnessed. Nearly left at half time as well. 

Fantastic. I used to sit next to a bloke who brought his grandson who was about 10. At half time he said to me 'we can still win this you know'.

Being the miserable, hope bashing sod that I am, I pointed out I had watched Latics for 40years and never seen them win from 3 down. As we left at the end he gave me a pitying look that said, 'you know nothing you'.

Remember us coming out with a bit of fight second half, getting a goal back early and then Jonathan Grounds (?) throwing the ball straight to their striker to make it 4-1 🤦‍♂️ incredible that we came back from there

Also can't believe it's a decade ago!

 

 

Just watching it back and that made it 4-2. Also Gary Harkins would've only been 28 in that game!

Such a shame we didn't have Gary Harkins for longer than we did he was a proper cult hero looked like the type of  bloke you literally dragged out the pub at 5 to 3 but he could properly play.

Hip flasks for shin pads 😂

Yeah you expected to see him pull one out of his socks half way through the game and during a drinks breaks he'd light a fag while leaning agsinst the goal post.

Walked in late at 2-0 down... Walked straight back out with some others on their way out when I realised the score. Started a thread on here about how shit we were. Obviously aged well.

 

Good celebrations in a packed White Hart though. Absolutely loads had left thinking we were done and dusted.

Still have him as my avatar, taken from this. What a player and Zidane weren't too shabby either.

He was great, could stroll around doing nowt for 89 minutes then pull a bit of brilliance out of nowhere, i love players like that. A bit like Zidane actually 

 

I'd never clocked that's what your profile photo was. Loved the soundtrack

Didn't Harkins go back to Scottish football after us? Credit to Johnson he had an eye for a player. 

We loaned him from St Mirren. He played for about 10 other clubs up there after going back.
