Well worth a watch for the kids who don't remember it or have never heard of it.
Basically, Carlisle went into the final day of the 1999 season knowing they could go down even with a win. It was out of their hands. They had to beat Plymouth and hope Scarborough slipped up.
At half-time Carlisle were drawing 0-0 and going down but then the visitors took the lead and Brunton Park was apparently like a morgue. Carlisle eventually levelled but, with Scarborough drawing, they still needed to get a winner.
In injury time at Brunton Park the fans were told Scraborough had finished. They needed a winner against Argyle to stay in the league.
Carlisle won a corner and Jimmy Glass, a GOALKEEPER, who was on loan, scored with the LAST KICK of the game, in a time when keepers rarely ever went up and the scenes afterwards were absolutely insane. Proper pitch invasion.
For me it was up there with Michael Thomas winning the league for Arsenal at Anfield, Aguero winning the league for City, United scoring twice in injury time in the Champions League final and Deeney sending Watford through moments after Knockaert's penalty miss as the Top 5 incredible things I have seen in games not involving Town.
They had permission to sign Glass on an emergency loan from Swindon after the old March transfer deadline had passed. A month beforehand he conceded six at home to Ipswich.

Was at that game but never realised it was Jimmy Glass in goal. Town had both full ends behind the goal that day and I’m fairly confident our number wasn’t too far off the number of home fans
Other vivid memories from that day include a second half conga and David Johnson somehow failing to get on the scoresheet despite numerous chances, much to his frustration!
Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010

Yeah I was there too, one of my favourite away days. I've a seat at home from that away end. My fat mate was jumping up and down on it after a goal and broke it! Another mate smuggled it out under his jacket.
We were young, in our defence.

What probably helped, from our point of view, is that we didn't play until the Sunday lunch time (us versus Sheffield United in a match more one-sided than last Saturday) so anyone watching Final Score would have seen the scorer come in.
Glass came up as the scorer and they were going on about Carlisle staying up but don't think they clicked that it was the keeper straight away.
Poor old Scarborough, just rubbing in it 20 years on. They went bust after that I think.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
It also helps disprove my theory that keepers are usually absolute rubbish when they come up in a desperate attempt to score a late goal. My favourite example of that was Stuart Pearce (who else) sending David James upfield to play centre forward for the last 7 minutes of a game which they had to win.
