Oh that Preston game! Wasn't the equaliser late, maybe not injury time but sure it was close, I was so happy but desperate for the loo and with a train to catch left my seat, I'll take a point at their place! Thanks Kev, can still hear the roars as the ball obviously hit the back of the net, oh well!!The Jeroen Boere winner at Gillingham in the 92nd minute capped a remarkable finish to that game. Just 2 minutes earlier Regis Coulbault had equalised for us after Gills had led since early in the first half.
It was a rare bright spot under the dreadful Alvin Martin reign.
Loved the John Cornwell winner at home to Preston to cap a 3-2 winner back in 1990. A cracking volley from 25 yards which I still vividly remember.
The Kev Maher winner at Preston takes some beating. I can still hear the sky sports commentator screaming "pandemonium in the away end". Great scenes.
Started on the edge of his own penalty box and waltzed through half the Cheltenham team to finish low in the bottom corner. Cheltenham needed a win to make the Play-Offs that day too which totally scuppered it for them,Vividly remember Nathan Jones v Cheltenham, last day of the season, nice and sunny (I think), and won me a fair bit of money.
Might have been first home game but wasn’t our first game. We’d already won at Huddersfield and this kept our winning start going. I’m not sure there was any goal better in this list though. What a screamer.I remember the Johnnie Cornwell effort against Preston very well. It was the first game that season and the attitude of we will not be beaten, that I thought it was going to be a very good season!!
I didn't say it was THE first game.Might have been first home game but wasn’t our first game. We’d already won at Huddersfield and this kept our winning start going. I’m not sure there was any goal better in this list though. What a screamer.
I didn't say it was THE first game.
I said it was the first game that season that of the attitude of the team, that I thought we would have a very good season.
Those of you of a nervous disposition, please look away now, as here is a list of last minute heartbreakers over the last 50 years.If you're at a loose end Statto, could you compile a similar list of lasty minute winners scored by our opponents over the same period? Would make an interesting comparison. In my mind I'm sure that we've had more last minute defeats than we've had victories, but I'll bet that it may be about even.....?

So no-one has scored a last minute winner against us for about two and half years. I would guess that is because most teams have been out of sight by then and have taken their foot off the pedal.Those of you of a nervous disposition, please look away now, as here is a list of last minute heartbreakers over the last 50 years.

Yes they were, well I can vouch for 2 of them, though I have seen the Maher winner since.All three of the goals that day were stunners if my memory serves me correctly. Two from Maher curled into the top corner from outside the box and a McCormack first time volley from a clearance to the edge of the box from a corner
