A memorable away day at Meadow Lane for Town as Mariner grabbed himself two goals, while John Wark, Steve McCall, Alan Brazil and Fran Thijssen were the other goalscorers that day. 

Sir Bobby Robson had departed the club to become England manager that summer and the Blues finished ninth in the top flight during the 1982/83 season.

Paul Mariner bagged a hat-trick as the Blues hammered the Red Devils at Portman Road in the First Division during the 1979/80 season.

Sir Bobby Robson's side could have scored more if it wasn't for United goalkeeper Gary Bailey making three penalty saves. Gary is the son of legendary Blues keeper Roy, who helped the club to win the top flight title in 1962.

It took over a decade for Town to reach that scoreline again when they hit six in the second tier at the County Ground in the 1998/99 season.

The Robins were reduced to 10 men after Craig Taylor was dismissed for a deliberate handball in just the sixth minute and Town took full of advantage of their extra man.

Mark Venus scored a brace, while Fabian Wilnis, Jamie Clapham, Tony Mowbray and James Scowcroft were also among the goals in the big victory.

Richard Naylor opened the scoring, before Ian Westlake, Tommy Miller (2), Shefki Kuqi and Darren Bent added to the rout.
