Where were you on Sunday 30th May 1999 (Gillingham play off game?)

Couldn't believe it when Edghill stepped up for the fourth instead of the Goat but still probably the best penalty I've ever seen.

Doesn't get mentioned enough. Walked half the length of wembley and walloped his penalty in off the bar as if he was just out for a bit of a kick-about.

After all the shit he had to endure, his was a proper heroic contribution that afternoon.

I was there with my lad. At 0-2 he zipped up his jacket and said he wanted to go. After a childhood of my dad deciding to leave games early and missing crucial City goals (including two at the swamp) I told him we were going nowhere and that if the rags could get two injury time goals against Bayern a week or two before City were still in with a chance. He was glad I made him stay and never again asked to leave a game early.
