I got and still have Ali Mauchlens training top from that game. As the players celebrated in the old main stand after the game he handed it to me and said "there ya go kid". I was in awe. Cant believe i was only 9 and can still remember it like it was yesterday.

Remember how gutted we were?

Turned out alright in the end.

All part of the journey.

Now, unlike the League One "it turned out alright" argument, I'll agree with this. We kept the same manager, the squad came back determined and we were a much better team and squad the next season.

As said in the past, it's a pity that there's student accommodation there now with wasteland surrounding it; it looks out of place and rather ugly.

Kermo is decent 

[Corky]

That one was worse than Watford. The team worked so hard to get into that position and played superbly in the second leg.

What an amazing day out at Wembley that was 

25 years since the greatest tactical substitution in the history of the sport. Sheringham and Solskjaer nothing.

The moment I KNEW we were going to win 

 

I'm sure all of you there felt the same. 

 

The most gut wrenching feeling that we didn't.

 

Bloody Jeremy Beadle diving
