There is a reason for this question! What games live in your memory?
Cardiff City 3 Tottingham Hotspurs 2. what a crazy Saturday evening.
Cardiff City 1 Aston Villa 0 , cracking crowd, cracking atmosphere, cracking result and promotion.
I was a lot younger then.
5-1 away win at Fulham in the late 60’s
The best day out ever
Cardiff City 6-1 Liverpool 1957 (5-1 half time). I was 12 at the time.
Favourite or most memorable? The Carling Cup semi final fits nicely into both categories.
Memorable for the wrong reasons include, the playoff against Stoke, and also Edgar Davids brief appearance for Palace in possibly the worst midweek nil-nil draw I've seen.
Worst game was when I was 10, in Abergavenny at the time and results coming over the radio, Cardiff City 1-9 Wolverhampton Wanderers, 1955 I believe.
Nothing wrong with a romantic memory!
I remember scores and games I've been to but my memory is such that I couldn't really tell you how good we were in the Huddersfield or Stoke games we have been in recently.
Anyway, this should be a decent thread I'll leave it to those with actual memories :hehe:
I’ll go Middlesboro 0-2 City FA cup
Flip of that City 3-4 Middlesboro, we were 3-1 up & my uncle decided to leave early
Best game I ever attended was in 99.
Cambridge v City.
We went down to 8 men and pulled off a miracle.
We were actually down to 9 after 60 mins.
As we started to work out we may actually hold on We knew this was history in the making
Ritchie Humphrey's greatest moment. Celebrated like he had won the FA Cup.
I think we laughed all the way home.
No goals, three spendings off... Greatest game ever.

The playoff semi against Leicester always stands out for me, also the Jacks game where Chopra scored the winner.
Also fondly remember the Doncaster game when Eddie scored :hehe:
As a Bluetit said earlier that 5-1 at Fulham after going one down, late 60s, was a standout, great day out. A special memory also was the 4-3 at Bramall Lane with a Whitt’s hat trick, their last minute disallowed effort and the Gavin Rae medley:hehe:
Reading 5 Cardiff City 1 and in the reverse fixture that season in 2005/6 Cardiff City 2 Reading 5 :hehe:
That Cambridge siege game was a brilliant day out African Bluebird. It felt like we’d won the cup. Top bacon rolls too. Was it Phil Stead on the radio with one of the best monologues ever saying forget Barcelona etc?
Plymouth home before the crazy Shrewsbury game when we were 4-1 down at half time and I think we won 5-4 in the league cup. That was pretty special.
Then my only time watching us in the Premier League (I was over from Australia) when we beat Man Utd at Old Trafford and I was sat a few rows behind Alex Ferguson. What a top day out that was. Me, my brother and my dad went nuts. The City fans in the away end sounded great despite us already being relegated.
Then there was a time we thrashed QPR away (Earnie hatrick?) and I had the best hot dog ever in a French baguette at Loftus Road.
The FA Cup final was a great one too despite losing. Good times.
Drawing 0-0 at home to Halifax midweek in the fourth division was pretty shit though.
Not a City game but drawing one all with Brazil at Ninian Park was pretty epic when my late mum took me back in the 80s. I think little Brian scored a header.
The Leeds FA cup game always sticks in my mind, had a bit of everything and for me that atmosphere has never been close to being beaten.
Yes Delmbox
Eddie our American Eagle scoring the Fourth
We were in the Bob bank pissing ourselves laughing at the bemusement of the away fans and manager
A bigger roar than the first goal
Absolute class
I also remember giving it large to John Hartson in the Grangend
- “She’s Shagging someone else”
Taking the piss over the press stories of his infidelity
He was playing for West Brom and headed the equaliser right in front of us
I had the ignominy of meeting him later in life on different terms and I reminded him of that actual night
We had a chuckle 🤭
I love threads like this because you don't have to think. The correct answer is the first one that comes to mind.
1. Man City, 1994, 1-0, FA Cup.
2. 4-1 V brentford in a promotion season, late 1990s. Fowler's chip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9fscrz0qWQ
3. 2-1 v Leeds, 2002.
4. Chops late winner v the jacks. God knows why, I'm really not into the rivalry thing too much but that was really memorable
No premier league game comes anywhere near that lot.
on the telly: 4-1 (or 4-2?) v Fulham away, mid 1990s.
the cardiff city v wrexham cup game in 1976 lingers in my memory vividly

I remember listening to Richard Shepherd’s commentary of the Cardiff v Swansea 3-3 draw. It was Boxing Day I think way back when and wasn’t it John Buchanan who scored a belter something he made a habit of doing.
QPR play off.
FA Cup Final , Carling Cup Final ,
Leeds in the FA Cup.
Wrexham away and Scunthorpe away under Eddie May.
Recent games just based on a mix of entertainment and us having a go the 1-2 loss home to Burnley in the Prem nearly 30 shots they had 2..2 on target 2 goals..but the game was great to watch. Arsenal at home as well we had a real go. Fulham same season.
Cup runs.
Bellamy v Swansea.
Chopra v Swansea.
Tottenham home in the Cup just for the day out was great from start to finish.
I go back to 1972 to my first game and a lot of my favourites have been mentioned.
But can I add Stoke away just a few weeks back I went on the the train and we were on a world breaking record of defeats.
To be honest I think the draw shouldn't have meant that much to me that day but it did and I'd put it in my top 10 best ever City results and games.
In a way the last game is my favourite, still happy with our last minute equaliser.
More realistically the FA cup semi with Barnsley probably. Very emotional day.
City 3-0 Aston Villa. Battered them from start to finish. They were totally shell-shocked. John Terry 'n' all.
