To one moment in one game, and live it again, what would it be?
Extra points for the obscure and interesting.
Mine would be Worrel Sterling’s goal in a 4-3 comeback at home at twerton, think it was V Bradford. It was a scuffed mis**t goal, and we were never ahead until that final goal. Really stood out in my mind.

Really stood out in my mind. I am happy to take the least points and say Browners right foot. I'll never forget the noise and the jumping and hugging and kissing and then being on the pitch and seeing so many people I knew. My happiest moment as a Rovers fan.

I copuldn't make the Dagenham and Redbridge game for Browners Right Foot, so, it has to be the Sammy Igoe goal at Wembley in 2007. If I could relive that moment and feel that feeling when the ball crossed the line,every day for the rest of my life, I'd never tire of it.

I'll go for a bit more obscure and further back...Paul Randall's winner at Walsall in March 1985..we were right behind the goal when he side footed the winner from 6 inches out..we all tried to pull him onto the terrace as he crowd surfed...that's how I remember it but was really going too apes**t to really notice!

Rickie Lambert's thunderbolt & decider against the other lot at the Mem, just to see Basso flounder, clutching at thin air is worth living that moment again.

Mine would be 1978 v Cardiff at Eastville. I can always remember going 1-0 down earlyish on and I seem to remember us battering them and not being able to score. Then quite near the end we equalised and the Tote went bats***. We scored quite quickly again to go 2-1 up and the place was bouncing. It ended up 3-2 to us so either there was a lot of late goals or my memory is rubbish.
And waiting on Stapleton Road for the bus back to Rangeworthy after the game with the Cardiff lot being escorted past to the train station was always fun....

Monday 2nd January 1978. Goals from Staniforth (2) and Randall. Source: "Bristol Rovers: The Definitive History".

This is obscure I guess but I remember it as being the point at which fans stopped thinking gloomily about whether Rovers could survive as a club for much longer at Twerton Park, but instead could actually improve and succeed. I give you the third season at TP - November 1988 - and the game against Gillingham. We were beginning to gel consistently and climb the table, but this game always seemed to me to be the launch pad from which Gerry Francis and the team really took off. It wasn't a startlingly good goal - Christian McClean slotted home a right-wing cross late in the game for the deciding second goal - but as he celebrated the whole crowd erupted into the chant of "ROVERS ARE BACK!!". It was a fantastic buzz and it was true, we finally were back.

So many... Gary Smart, 1987 ... Bang! Get home! Shhhhhhh..... Stood with a mate on the terraced part of their old grandstand.....it was one of those moments when keeping the elation bottled in felt amazing, seeing the anger around. Obviously had no choice mind as there were some very leery sh1theads wanting to take out their Neanderthal on some innocent Rovers. What a one sided game, brilliant.

I think the 5-5 Charlton game takes some beating. Followed by Sammy Igoe at Wembley - amazing how many gasheads had "sand in our eyes" at the end!

The moment that Sammy Igoe's daisy cutter trickled over the line at the new Wembley, which still had a whiff of fresh paint about it in only the second game hosted there. Before that, the sight of an overcharged security guard prodding a half full cardboard mug of coffee left on the concrete step next to my seat with a long stick while alerting his mates on a walkie-talkie. They soon appeared in their off the peg suits and walked tentatively down towards the life-threatening object where they held a pow wow with their mate, removed the cup and strolled back up the steps trying hard to keep a straight face.
