At one stage we were 10 goals down in the third or at 3/4 time and won by 7 points so we may have kicked 12 in the last? I think that match was mentioned in the Footy Budget "flashbacks" section last week.
Leaping Lindner will know for sure - he was there and he has a photographic memory for all things North.
Sadly the memory of Centrals kicking 16 straight in the last against us in the opening round of 2003 is more vivid

that was the game Drebin ,I listerned to it on the radio and it was somewhere between 75-76
The norwood game was latter and I was there 10 goals up i think at 3/4 time and lost
This North/Torrens game was something Dad on a few occasions told me about. He said to someone in the bar at half time that "they (Torrens) shouldn't lose from here" or something like that, and of course, they did. So when I got around to the score at the library I knew it would have been that game. And of course it was in last weeks' Football Budget.
Round 4 1976

The margin was 60 points not long before half time - 6.7 to 16.7. With 20 minutes to go in the last quarter, North was 7.4 behind.
55 points still stands as the record for the greatest comeback after half time, and 39 points is the equal fifth greatest margin overcome after 3 quarter time.
The other equal fifth greatest comeback at 3 quarter time was the match Mickyj would be referring to.
