Great BFC Comebacks

Great BFC Comebacks

I remember the Swansea 0-2 to 3-2 comeback.brilliant.
I think that crazy 4-3 v Blackburn at gp was a league cup second leg where we were 4-1 down (or maybe just 3-1) from the first leg anyway. I think bobbooker got an own goal off his back & John smeulders saved a penalty.
Didn't we lose twice in a month from 2-0 lead-in our year inthe championship? (at Barnsley? & tranmere?).
Great info from geoffbee.
Is WEB banned from this website now then??

Yep, twice we led 2-0 away and both times we got no points. If any of those six goals had not been scored we would have stayed up :cry: Barnsley was the really rainy one where they gave out those classy plastic macs. Gayle scored a wonder strike I think.

I also remember being 2-0 up v Torquay then they equalised then we won 3-2, think that was near the Swansea one but not sure.

The greatest BFC comeback was :owusu: according to some blinkered fellow fans :fishing:

Sad news GEOFFBEE. It looks like that match wasn't a competitive fixture. I can not find any AFC v BFC matches after 1947

So it looks as if we still don't have a confirmed, previous comeback from 3-0 down.
It was very competitive, I can assure you! And there was a Cup for the eventual winners.
As I said, that 3-3 draw at home to Arsenal was in The London Challenge Cup , which, in those days, involved first teams, of London clubs, and usually drew crowds of between 5000 and 10000, sometimes many more. There was a replay for that match, at Highbury. I believe we lost that one something like 5-0 though...

I was also there and if my memory is right Higgy (Higgingson) had a blinder

The 3-2 win against Swansea didn't Jamie Bates score the leveller from something like 35 yards

Best comeback ever in my mind was when we beat Reading 2-1 at Reading in the Coppell season. It was 1-0 down, i think Jason Price scored the winner and Cureton got booked for diving when all of the 4,500 Bees thought it was a pen.

Brilliant.

In terms of 3 goals? Not in my time.....

Agreed, plus the 2-1 win at Sheff Weds under MA.

No he scored against Torquay - the winner in a 3-2 win

Drawing 2-2 after being 2-0 down at St Mary's in 2005 and at Burnley in 1999 were both pretty decent.

Going 1 down to Man Utd in the 88th?89th minute and then scoring twice in a minute to win the game in that youth cup tie stands out for me.

I think I recall us being 2-0 down at home to Darlo in the late 80s, then going in at half-time 4-2 ahead before finally winning 5-3.

Also, weren't we 5-3 down in the League Cup at Barnet with about 5 minutes left? Scored two late goals to escape with a 5-5 draw...
