2-0 down with 17 minutes to go, Hampton staged a remarkable comeback to snatch a win from under the noses of the ‘Robins’. A triple substitution in the 67th minute changed the course of the game. Ex-Beaver, Richard Newbery had scored in the 38th minute, and in the 57th minute Kevin Smith seemed have given the home side the win. However, Hampton fought back. Croxford stabbed home Brown’s cross in the 73rd minute, Brown also set up the second, Hippolyte getting on the end of a through ball in the 77th minute. Savage and Hippolyte both scored in the final minute to completely turn the game on its head.

I feel a new thread coming on.
Greatest comebacks.

I'm sure I was at this game, a few of us getting the train over.
Carshalton had a guy behind one goal selling vintage football shirts, they'd be worth 10 times what he was selling them for then.
I think his website was called "Football Not Muggybonehead" or something close, anyone remember him?
