The magical day 61 years ago when Mansfield Town gave QPR a good thrashing
What is the best your team has ever played is perhaps an excellent debate to have on a long trip to an away game.
It is a debate which is sure to have many different possibilities to choose from and many different personal favourites amongst the fans.
But for one Mansfield Town fan there is only one possibility - the 8-1 hammering of hapless QPR at Field Mill on 15 March 1965.
Reliving the magical day with fondness Dave Phillips, of Huthwaite, said: "Mansfield Town's finest performance ever for me, without a doubt, was back in the season 1964/65 when we thrashed QPR 8-1 on an atmospheric evening at Field Mill.
"I have everlasting memories of this game and Stags' fleet footed left winger Albert Scanlon, who was a former Manchester United Busby Babe and Munich Air Disaster survivor.
"The sight of him continually turning the QPR right back inside out, then skimming the ball over the surface for Bill Curry and Harry Middleton to net a hat-trick each was a great sight.The rout was completed by John Gregson and Peter Morris with a penalty.
"To this day, I have never seen any footballing side put on a show like that evening's performance.What a team we were."
Stags, who equalled their club record win with the victory, went into the game on the back of a decent run which had seen them win four and draw two of their last six games.
Middleton began the goal rush on five minutes after he was sent through on the right after a good pass by Hall. His first shot was blocked by Smith, but he made no mistake from the rebound as Stags got underway.
Soon after, Smith had to be at his best to turn a Hall effort over the bar. But there was nothing he could do on 18 minutes when it was 2-0.
Collins tried to head away a firm cross by Scanlon, but only succeeded in ballooning the ball back into the goalmouth, allowing Curry to pounce and nod into an empty net.
Smith then held a 20 yard effort from the lively Hall, before Treharne was called into action at the other end as the visitors looked for a route back into the game.
But any hopes of a comeback were well and truly dashed as Stags turned on the style in a blistering spell of attacking football.
It was 3-0 on 35 minutes after a great run by Collins laid on a goal for Bedford.
It got even better as half time neared when Stags bagged another couple of goals in the final four minutes of the half.
Macready laid on the first for Middleton and the inside left also got the other. He was sent away up the right by Hall and his shot slipped through Smith's hands and into the net.
The London side controlled the early stages of the second half and Treharne only just turned a long-range shot from Hazell over the bar.
Roger Morgan then had the ball in the net, but the whistle had already gone for offside.
Ian Morgan's shot was tipped over the bar by Treharne and, before the corner was cleared, Jones headed off the line.
Ian Hall's flashing header just cleared the bar before, on 65 minutes, Curry steered in the sixth from a Scanlon free-kick.
The on-song Curry/Scanlon combination brought the seventh. The winger's power drive crashed against the bar and bounced down, before Curry flung himself into the mud to turn the ball home.
Smith then had to go full length to reach a cracking effort by Morris, before Ian Hall's header scraped just past the post.
A minute from time the referee awarded Mansfield a penalty after consulting with his linesman, which was cooly tucked away by Morris.
The Chad report for the match praised the entire team performance, and read: "There was certainly no sign of weakness anywhere in the Mansfield performance as they achieved their biggest win since Hounslow were crushed 9-2 in the first round cup replay on 5th November 1962. Rangers strangely enough produced their best form after the interval when they were 5-1 down, but they had no-one really capable of prising open the Mansfield defence."
The emphatic victory, which was followed up by the 3-0 defeat of Bristol City five days later, showed just how strong Stags were in front of the Field Mill faithful, with Mansfield going on a nine-game home winning streak and a 14-game unbeaten home run that season.
On-form Mansfield, who had the best attack in the division that year, scoring a superb 95 goals in their 46 games, won 15 out of their remaining 24 games, including a 3-2 win at Barnsley on the final day of the season.
But it was not enough after Bristol City won their last three games of the season, including a 2-0 victory over Oldham Athletic, to seal their promotion and condemn Tommy Cummings' Stags to promotion heartbreak on goal average.
