Always brings a tear to my eyes that one, the old lady reminds me so much of my mam. She never really got it but was just delighted for her "boys" (44 & 39) when we won it. Proper mum stuff!!!The second one is spot on for me.
Just to see Mary and daughter's reaction!
Ian Cheesman ?One of the many anecdotal memories from that day and then that moment was the MSM/national press pack reaction after Sergio had scored.
Sat (stood!) immediately in front of their section (ie pre tunnel club days), as I looked around me once the initial whip-crack of sound and shock and euphoria started to subside a little, every single one of them had a face like a smacked arse.
With just one exception. A big, beaming, laughing smiling face. Can you guess who?
No mate. One of the nationals.Ian Cheesman ?
I was always weirdly confident even 2-1 down. I had a feeling we were going to win it in a way that mirrored the Gillingham game. I even went for a fag on 85 minutes and said to my Dad we'll equalise when I get back to the top of the stairs, and I timed it exactly right, the corner looped over to Edin just as I got back in view of the pitch. From then I just knew it was going to happen.
Doesn't even bear thinking about what it would have been like if we'd fucked it up. Don't think I'd have been able to stop myself diving headfirst off the top of the spirals to be honest.
It all turned to shit once YaYa went off.Agreed. One of the worst performances of the season. The occasion definitely seemed to have affected the team. Did any of them play to their individual potential throughout the game
Go on then, who ? :)No mate. One of the nationals.
That was brilliantNeed a gif of the toddler (in diapers/nappies?) twirling his shirt around his head while his manure dad was crying.

I thought so, couldn't remember his nameMartin Samuel.
Personal favourite
I often wonder if the woman is the same one who rang Talk Sport (as it was then ) a few games before the Derby to say that "City will have to give us a guard of honour ,as we will have won the league before we play them " .I so it was
Don't think its been posted yet but this one is still my favourite.
