Remember, remember the 9th of November

This day in 2002 the last derby at Maine road.
Who was there?
I was in the north stand for this one, for the second goal I was stood on my seat and fell through it , had a scrape mark from my ankle to my knee, on both legs! Ouch! But it was well worth it.
Great day from start to finish, was in the boozer at 930 having bacon butties and a few scoops.

That one touch by Berkovic into the goat for number 3 was exquisite, was shitting it when they scored thought it was going to go the way of the Maine road derbies of the 90s where we would get ahead then crumble.

Had to miss this one, sometimes stuff gets in the way even for a game like this. Gutted I wasn't there.

 

[BatleyBlue]

One of my favourite atmospheres, booing/whistling the scum every time they had the ball.

Great atmosphere that day. Thought we had no chance when Distin and Howey were ruled out by injury, but Wiekens and Mettomo came in and did a great job. Berkovic was superb.

I was in the Kippax Upper towards the North stand end, first derby win for 13 years following the 5-1, great occasion that confirmed we were finally back competing somewhere close to the top teams after the slide in the second half of the 90s.

Interviewed by French TV before the game . Being effluent in most languages I explained that they wore red and were Wellington, we wore blue and thus Napoleon and today the French would win Waterloo. Pathetic I know, but it pleased the foreign chappies no end.
