2) City 1 Stoke 0 (2011): FA Cup final. Didn't make it to Wembley, but did watch the game on beam back at City Square with, brother, sister, sister in law, niece and nephew. It absolutely tipped it down from half time onwards and in running for shelter we got split and ended up in three separate pairs watching different screens - I was with my niece and have never seen her as excited as she was when Yaya scored -when we all met up at the the final whistle it was an emotional moment and we were together to see the trophy lifted.

3) City 2 Liverpool 2 (1996): strange pick perhaps as this was the relegation day that kicked off the clubs downward spiral, but for pure emotion and highs and lows it's a hugely memorable day. Lomas holding the ball in the corner thinking we were safe is a familiar story, but what sticks with me more is the chants of Blue Army defiantly reverberating round the stand as we traipsed out - also saw Noel Gallagher that day heading in the direction of the away buses while Guigsy looked on.

4) City 1 Arsenal 0 (1991) My third ever match, but the first time I'd sat in the North stand with the adults, rather than the family stand. Also the first time I'd seen the pitch illuminated with floodlights. Michael Hughes ripped the full back apart and my hero David White scored the winner. Wagon Wheel at half time, copy of the pink for the bus into town and chips and gravy in the gardens before going back to the hotel to see mum. perfect

5) City 3 Norwich 1 (2002) We were scintillating that promotion season under Keegan. Came out firing on all cylinders from the get go, only for Danny Tiatto to be sent off after ten minutes (kicks water bottles) - it didn't make a bit of difference, we continued to play them off the park with one man less, culminating in a fantastic solo goal from Eyal Berkovic. Not even being stuck in the Gene Kelly stand could dampen the day.

Honourable mention to City 3 Southend 0, an unremarkable game, save for a breathtaking display from Kinkladze.

1. Fulham 1 Orient 2 (2006) - FA Cup shock ahoy. Premier league you are having a laugh as two deflected goals in the first half gave the almost bottom of the league O's victory. We were battered in the second half but held on. I got very drunk afterwards!

2. Tottenham 1 Bristol City 0 (1978) - First game I ever went to and I wondered why Brian Moore wasn't commentating during the game.

3. Brighton 4 Leyton Orient 4 (1997) - Last Orient visit to the Goldstone. 2-0 down at half time we were 3-2 up within 10 minutes of the restart. 4-3 up with 10 minutes to go and the ref gave a penalty that never was to calm down the Brighton fans who had also entered the pitch and assaulted Scott McGleish.

4. Orient 4 Oldham 2 (1992)- FA Cup tie where the O's destroyed top flight Oldham. Should have won by a shed load.

5. Orient 2 Wales 1 -(1996) The cheeky sods wanted friendly opponents of the same calibre of San Marino who they were facing next in a Euro Qualifier. Giggs et al took a beating. The winner was scored by Peter Garland who was the fattest player I ever saw in an O's shirt!

5) West Ham 0 Liverpool 2 The Boleyn Ground 71-72 Season
The first professional game I ever went to. Liverpool's goals were scored by John Toshack & Steve Heighway

4)Sheffield Wednesday 3 Tottenham Hotspur 4 Hillsborough 1994
Jurgen Klinsmann scores on his debut in a team that also included Sherringham, Dumitrescu, Barmby & Anderton. The season ultimately ended with Spurs finishing in the bottom half as it's attacking prowess was only exceeded by it's defensive ineptitude.

3) Arsenal 2 Tottenham Hotspur 3 Emirates Stadium 2010
Spurs may be more consistent under AVB, but under Redknapp it's fair to say that when they were good they were very good indeed and played some of the most exhilarating football I've ever seen.
2-0 down at half time and looking second best in every department, the second half comeback was as astonishing as it was unlikely, with goals from Bale, Van Der Vaart & Kaboul.

2) Tottenham 2 Chelsea 1 Carling Cup Final Wembley 2008
Like any Spurs fan I feel an intense rivalry with Arsenal, but I fucking hate Chelsea!
I've only seen Spurs beat them twice, once in the league at White Hart Lane in 2010 and this 2008 final.
Not that great a game, but had this been the FA Cup this would have definitely been my number 1.

1) Tottenham Hotspur 3 Arsenal 1 FA Cup semi-final Wembley 1991
Spurs won. Arsenal lost. Gascoigne's stunning free-kick set the tone and Spurs went on to win the final. 'Nuff said!

Just missing out, England beating Scotland 5 -1 at Wembley in 1975. Seemed like me and my dad were the only two Englishmen there, but emphatic doesn't come any more emphatic!

I got a bit cocky then a few minutes into the 2nd half it was 3-2 and it got a bit nerve wracking. Cracking atmosphere as over 40,000 Jacks saw the Swans back into the big time.

2. Swansea 5 Bradford 0 - Wembley 2013.
First major cup win. Cracking atmosphere.

3. Swansea 2 Aston Villa 1 - Vetch Field, 1981.
Conflicted little boy at this match as his home town club played his 'top league' team. Though they were both in the top league at the time. I was gutted Gary Shaw was injured. But still as 2nd ever matches go, I seem to remember having a good time.

4. Newcastle United2 – 2 Bournemouth 3 - 4 (penalties). St James Park. FA Cup. 1992.
I was a student in Newcastle and this replay was sold at £3 a ticket. Crammed into the gallow gate end with some Geordie mates, we saw Newcastle get knocked out on Pens (this was the first season they were introduced in the FA Cup).

5. Newcastle United 3 - Swansea 0. St James Park. FA Cup. 1995.
I'd left Newcastle by then, but we made the trip back up for the then high flying Newcastle draw in the 3rd round of the cup. Swansea nearly scored after 10 seconds. But eventually we got ground down by Newcastle. A Kitson (Paul?) hatrick did for us. It was just after Andy Cole had been sold so we took great delight is singing 'Where's your Andy gone' at the home fans. Out sang the home team by a country mile.

Bubbling under a number of games at Orient/Southend in the away end with the Swans.

None of these compare to the Wales rugby games I've seen though.
