I've only been following Flyers since November last season so there will obviously be many great games from the past I won't be aware of.
But for me yeah it's got to be the 4-1 win over Belfast this season. Especially to go a goal behind in that game and to win so emphatically against last seasons champions. The noise level that night was just incredible.

All the way back to Coyle's penalty shot against Slough and a very talented Perry Pappas, back in 99 in Hull for me. What a weekend and what a game.
A certain Mr Dutes was on fire then too if I remember rightly.
There was also a game against Peterborough back then where we went 5-0 down at home and came back to 5-5. A certain Mr. Randy Smith lost the plot big style, loved it!

Haven't been to a flyers game in KDY since 1991 (last game was against slough when I played for slough). However, as a teen, I have so say after years of domination by the then Dundee Rockets (who shared FIA in the early 80's) was the 1st time flyers beat them. Rab Petrie took out Chris Brinster in a fight that spilled into the penalty boxes and then into the tunnel btw the Flyers and away locker rooms. That fight took out their dominant blue line and allowed us to neutralize their import forwards and locals (remember the wood brothers). This put the flyers on the path to the 1985 wembley win (after signing stoyanovich, plumb and brown)

I think two games spring to mind. One involved a return leg with Murrayfield when Steve Moria inspired a 3rd period comeback. I think we were 6:1 down or so and we overturned them 7:0 I think the last period. I can't remember exactly but Moria was amazing and everything went right at the end. Also Doug Smail destroying Cardiff Devils at Kirkcaldy with a stunnign display of ice hockey.

It has to be the British championship win at Wembley, Danny Brown was brilliant that day.

I remember that game 7:1 after the first if I remember correctly. Racers won the next two periods 3:2 and lost out 9:4. I remember Danny on fire and was shoting for him to strike the puck as he was bursting down the ice - I think there was around 6 seconds left of the 1st period - seconds later it was in the back of the net. It killed the match but it was a special day. Trying to remember the names of the players: Donald, Plumb, Abel, Pennycook, Brown, Stoyanovich, Latto, Peat, Cottrell, Goodsir, Linton. Might be wrong with a couple of missed some out.

Not THE best game but a very memorable one at Coventry where Fife drew 3/3 or 4/4 in a cross over game, Davyduke, Medak , Mo and the guys defied the odds big time, the highlight being Coventry's enforcer Wade Belak from the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first NHL lockout trying his best to hit ghosts and getting the utter mince taken out of him, poor guy is dead now apparently a bout of depression led him to suicide at 35 years old, one of many in a short spell of enforcers who tread the same route.

For me the wembley 85 final. We had a great season leading up to it.. I think Doug Latto may have been there along with Craig Dickson. Dum dum?? Think there was no goals in the second period but I have the programme somewhere so will look it out. That was the season when the old barn was packed. No Deano then. Both he and Bobby Haig were Kestrels or Flames in those days. I think.

I remember an early Season game against Durham Wasps early 90's. The Cooper brothers had returned from Cardiff and they had some team that season. They came into Fife and got well and truly spanked 12-2. Just remenber it as a stunning win for the Flyers.
One other for the best atmosphere Mike Jeffries return to the barn playing for the Murrayfield Racers about a week after we gassed him after the norwich Union Cup Final loss. Him still skating about with a blue Flyers helmet on, pretty sure he scored the winner. That whole night was just amazing you could barely get standing room never mind a seat.
