Re: Best Quakers performance ever
The 1-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday with the Ron Ferguson 40 yard screamer in the League Cup c1976.
Or the 4-0 demolition of Brighton at Priestfield Stadium in the early nineties. Not too sure of the exact dates but in the latter Marco was the star.

That Everton game was my first ever at Feethams - stood right in the far corner with my uncle - never been in a crowd of that size before, remember walking round the Cricket ground at the end and thinking how great it was to be at a proper match.

Darlington 4 Chelsea 1 (the 3-2 home win over West Ham wasn't bad either)

P.S.Of course there was the final of the Durham Senior Professional Challenge Cup, held at Feethams, when we beat the international-filled Sunderland 7-1

Re: Best Quakers performance ever
Don Revie was playing. At the end, he was surrounded by about a million of us, all wanting his autograph. He was signing for someone when another fan made an inappropriate comment. He stopped writing...and somebody has "Don R' as their Revie autograph

Barnet 0 - 2 Darlington
Has to be the game against Barnet @ Underhill in our Conference title winning season. Barnet were the only team that could pip us the title. Whoever won the game, that day, were odds on, to go on, and get promoted. The boys won 2-0. Defined our season that game.

Darlo Pete: You'll have seen this.
Bill’s most memorable Darlington game wasn’t in the league or FA Cup, but the Durham Senior Cup.
“We played Sunderland at Feethams, and won 8-1. I scored three, and Ronnie Harbertson scored four. It was a tremendous night. Sunderland had eight first teamers in their side, including players like Don Revie.”

Barry Conlon's hat trick against Macclesfield on the opening day of the 2006/07 season. I know this thread is supposed to be about performances of the team overall, but Conlon at his best was equal to at least 2 Ruud Van Nistelrooys, 4 Zinedine Zidanes, 4 Fabio Cannavaros and 1 Bobby Mimms. His performance alone raised the average performance of the team to unprecedented levels, the likes of which have never been witnessed since.

Re: Best Quakers performance ever
Remember playing Cardiff at home on the last game of the season at Feethams, when a win for Cardiff would put them into the play-offs. We were considerably outnumbered by Cardiff fans, but we played brilliantly and won, sending Swansea to the play-offs, which didn't seem to go down too well with the Cardiff fans, who invaded the pitch at the end of the game looking to cause trouble.
