Beat you by 1,300...

I went to a League Cup Final Forest v Oldham (89?) not sure what that gate would have been.

5 vists to Inter v Milan, all 80,000 officially, but with so many fake tickets around i guess it was more on every occasion.

France v England at Stade de France in 2000. pretty sure that was sold out as well.

Other than the boatrace, I'd guess an England friendly/qualifier in 1990. Either Hungary or Poland.

The 3-2 defeat away at United in the first Premiership season, mentioned above.

Other than that, 71,597 for the 2002 Div 1 Play off final, Brum v Norwich.

96,000 according to Wiki. Pretty crap game though.

Reminds me that one of the biggest crowds I've been in to watch a football match was actually at Glastonbury in '04. When the England quarter final was shown on the big screen, there were 60,000+ watching at the Pyramid stage, cracking atmosphere

England 3 - Argentina 1
Tuesday, 13th May 1980
Wembley Stadium, London 92,000. A young Maradona played as did a Man United winger who would later guide a two bob outfit into the promised land. My memory is somewhat cloudy but Keegan gave a masterful performance that day.

Some of them felt a lot like 200000 though - the old Wembley terraces could get a bit 'cosy' once all the 'unofficial' attendees had paid their cash to the turnstile operators.....

Probs England v Luxembourg where we won about 6-0 or whatever it was in the early 80s. If not, would be one of our games away to Man Utd I suppose.

Wow. How did you get to go that game?!? It must have been amazing.

The World Cup Semi in 1994 was pretty sweet - seeing lil' Romario rise like a salmon to head home and loads of Brazilian fans going mental
