"Best performance by any 'keeper wearing a Lincoln shirt that I have seen in 55 years"

[Jules]

When I started the poll to ask our members who they thought The Imps Man of the Match was in the 1-0 win away at Northampton Town, I always knew there was only going to be one winner.

Had to be Vickers. In my 7 or so years on here I’ve not seen such a one sided vote.

Surely Peter Grotier's performance v Stoke has got to be in contention.

 

[89spartans_12/03/77]

Felgate away at Sheffield Utd in the cup replay.

Howabout Steve Thompson away at Crewe?

 

[Long suffering Imp]

Felgate away to Scunts, early 80's, should have lost 15 nil, came away with a 0 0, incredible performance.

Marriott away at Scunny in the second leg of the play offs takes some beating.

There are some very interesting challenges being made here and I am sure that I could also add a few more contenders. Maybe we should have a poll about this?

I'm pretty sure it was 2-2, Hobbo for the Imps - The Scunthorpe Telegraph I recall was quoted as saying Felgate acted as second sweeper behind one T. Peake. I have great memories of that particular match.

 

[Brendan Bradley]

Jimmy Gordon, on debut I think, deputising for Grotier in the F A Cup at Mansfield, 1975.

 

[The Electric Banana]

Alan Marriott away at Rochdale in early 2003 when Ben Futcher scored a late winner from a corner.

Think you may be thinking of a different match to me, it was definately nil nil the one im thinking of, alot of trouble before during and after the match.

Over the years the one thing City have been consistant with is some very good goalkeepers.

The match I recall was early '81 (Jan or Feb). There was plenty of trouble as the gathered Imps were swaying the the covering over the away terrace to Slade's current hit "We will bring your House (ground) Down" and the stewards were chucking Imps out, only to let them back in if they paid to get back in. I think the next time the Imps played the Scunts was a few years later, I recall Felgate was on loan to either Cardiff or Wrexham at the time, that was indeed 0-0.

Yes. Who would have thought Mike (Drop it) Pollitt would have played in the Premiership.

Good man.

Yes Marriott made a couple of blinding saves at Rochdale when Futchervscored the late winner, the last one was full length at the end to tip it over the bar.

Think city were 2-1 up with moments to go, cue yet another pitch invasion. There’s been full scale attempts by city fans to take the ‘donny road end’ throughout. Scunts equalised in jury time. Which saw mozzer burton blame the city fans for the scunts goal.
