I remember my mate Al McKenzie from Scotland, God rest him, a massive Partick Thistle fan saying he was watching it in his local pub, with everyone bar him supporting Man United. He used to follow our results and I used to follow theirs.

Said he had a great night and felt 10 feet tall when the final whistle went.

Up the Jags Al, wherever you are!

One of the best nights ever, whole town seemed to come to life. I was in the west that night near the front where freddy slid to celebrate

The Echo

I photocopied that front page of The Echo so my son could cover his school exercise book with it when he was at St Mary's School.

He still has it. He's 21 now!

Tilly certainly deserved another shot at management for all he accomplished as our manager, the team he assembled and how they played. Too loyal to SUFC when things were going "pear shaped" Treated shabbily by the club in the end. Desperately took the Lincoln job which was a big mistake. Should have left when he was attracting bigger offers.

Been a loyal fan since 1969. Been the best manager we've had in my opinion. His teams played the best football we ever played in my time. Kev is catching up fast, although at a different level and under different circumstances.

I have that in the loft

A strange after effect of that night was the tons of messages I received afterwards from clients and friends offering their congratulations. Usually I just received the occasional sympathy card

yeah I walked into work the next day (slightly late and hungover) and was greeted like some returning hero, almost as if I had scored myself

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw this game in a Barna pub.Needless to say I was the only SUFC fan there (proudly wearing my Cardiff LDV Final top) In a bar crowded out with Mancs.Remember hitting the roof when Freddy scored.

 

[overseas shrimper]

My son's first day home from the hospital after he was born. I watched the game on TV with him sleeping next to me. It was so tough not disturbing him, but I somehow kept my exhilaration and excitement in check.

After the match a mate phoned to congratulate me. I left the room to speak to him and, amazingly, I had almost lost my voice still!

No.

But then to be fair they dont even employ reporters!

One of the best nights ever, whole town seemed to come to life.

After the game walking back to Vic Circus, nigh on every car driving past was tooting their horns!.

I was in the west that night

So were me & my 2 sons in Row B, which were kids seats with little leg room. As we're all 6" ft & more, it was very uncomfortable sitting down!.
