BIGGEST COMEBACKS

This is a list of the biggest comebacks we've had in a game, and this one is surprising as from what I can find, we have never won a game where we had more than a 2-goal deficit!
I would have thought that we might have got something from larger deficits, but that's not the case.

We've twice come back from being 3-0 down to make a 3-3 draw (both within a year of each other), but nothing more than that.

So, here's the list of games:

Draws from being 0-3 down:

Unknown Deficits
There is a caveat to this in that I don't have the goal times for these games, so we might have been losing by than more than two goals. I'll keep working on these.

BIGGEST LOSSES AFTER LEADING

This is a list of the biggest leads we've had in a game and still lost and, again, we have never lost a game where we had a 3-goal lead!

We've ended up drawing at least 6 games after being 3-0 up, but nothing worse than that.

So, here's the list of games:

Unknown Deficits
Again there's a caveat to this in that I don't have the goal times for these 4 games, so we might have been winning by than more than two goals. I'll keep working on these, too.
