I was thinking about the more unique scorelines from Town games over the years and was wondering when we last saw each of them. I don’t know for definite but I wouldn’t be surprised if the 6-4 against Crewe in 2004 is the only one of those we’ve had in our professional history? And I shall mention 4-4 here and now so nobody else has to...
Have we actually been involved in a 5-4 since we beat Newcastle by that scoreline in 1975? That’s the only one I’m aware of but that was a while before I was born so I can’t be sure. And I personally don’t remember a 6-3 during my lifetime.
I remember that 5-3 defeat at Lincoln between Christmas and New Year in 2019, after which Lambert was inexplicably given the most ridiculous contract ever. And there was the 5-3 win at Barnsley in 2011 which kept Jewell in a job.
I think our last 5-2 wins were at Rotherham in 2015/16 (Murphy ending his goal drought with a hat-trick) and at home to Sunderland two seasons later. Don’t need to talk about the last 2-5 defeat.
We beat Aldershot 7-2 in our early days in the Football League and I believe we lost at home by that scoreline to Man United in our relegation season of 1963/64, alongside two even heavier defeats.
Our biggest league win is “only” 7-0, and we could have equalled that against Doncaster last season if Rekeem Harper’s shot hadn’t come back off the post. If we’d kept at it in the second half against Morecambe then we could possibly have scored a few more. I remember when we beat Forest and Bristol City 6-0 in 2005 and 2007 respectively we finished scoring with about twenty minutes to go in each match. And a certain game against Man United in 1980 could have been an ever bigger margin of victory.
I’d quite like to see us hammer another team or two before the end of the season.

Probably because that 11-0 was against Cromer.
Arbroath 36 Bon Accord 0 is in the record books, but probably not seriously regarded due to it being a) a long time ago b) recorded by no less than Arbroath c) against a team who no longer exist.
Then again, many Scots would generally wonder if Cromer was a real team/place.
Undoubtedly, but still a game in a big competition.

Crewe in 2004 was the craziest game I've seen though. As you say. 6-4. I remember Rueser's goal being awesome. Only 2-1 at the break. Two ogs, so technically we score 8! The other crazy thing about that day was the other scores. I could only find Palace beating Watford 5-1 away, but maybe others can fact check my memory

I think Bon Accord were lucky that there were no goal nets in those days as otherwise they would have shipped many more than 36. They were actually a cricket club who thought they would have a go at the Scottish Cup, despite some of their players having no proper football kit.

I read long ago somewhere that a young boy who'd been there leaning on the goalpost keeping the Arbroath goalie entertained, when asked in old age how they'd kept their interest up replied "Och, we had a bag of sweeties to share".

Didn't realise until I checked this that Arbroath had five disallowed. I reckon Bon Accord slipped the linesman a couple of quid.
I can't contribute anything Town-related to this, but it is fascinating. A good few years ago though, I stumbled across this video about the NFL. In it, the term "Scorigami" was coined. Well-worth a watch for anyone that found this thread interesting or has a passing interest in NFL.

I remember us putting 6 past a team in a Tuesday night game many moons ago (judging from some of the other responses here, must have been Burnley?). I distinctly remember it cos it was an extremely unattractive prospect at the time, we weren’t in great form and from memory, Burnley were equally as bad! I live 90 minutes from the ground, walked in from work about 5.15 and my uncle called and asked if I fancied it, about 10 minutes of huffing and puffing and ticket booking later I walked straight back out the door and went to the game, got there about 10 minutes before kick off expecting one of the most boring games ever and it turned out to be the highest scoring I’d ever seen from Town, couldn’t believe it and have never forgotten that night, never will.
*Edit - tbf I could be wrong about the form we were in and the team we were playing, but 100% remember it was a Tuesday night and we banged 6 goals in, haven’t got the foggiest who scored, or even who was playing, but I’ve never jumped off my seat so much at an ITFC game, unbelievable score line, don’t remember the oppo getting a goal either, lol, I remember lining up 2 beers at the local when we got back in celebration (after the final bell had gone!! Shhhhh)
Sheffield Utd 7 Ipswich Town 0 is one that I didn’t enjoy from the early 70s. Alan Woodward got 4 and they ran out of space on the old manual scoreboard.
More recently Ipswich 0 Liverpool 6 was fairly grim - but somehow not as bad as spineless 4-0 away to Bolton or 0-3 at home to Southampton.

That day and game at Bramall Lane was the most miserable ever. That man doing the scores on the scoreboard just gave up, I think he had to climb a ladder to put each goal up, it was the only bit of mirth. We had to cross the pennines after, and the fog was so bad that you couldn't even see the end of the bonnet on the car. My brother had to get out and walk in front of the car so we didn't go over the edge. I seem to remember they had a player Colquhon who ran everything in midfield. But it was made up for by the later 7-0 wins and success that came with those great Robson teams.

Ipswich have never lost 4-0 to Bolton. You must be thinking of your own team’s loss to Bolton in 1935.

Geoff Hammond took the blame if memory serves - in for Mick Mills who’d had a cartilage operation. In fairness that was a remarkably fine Sheff U side. I think Eddy Colquhon was their no nonsense central defender - and Tony Currie the flamboyant midfield general
