Vlad’s goal was indeed a scorcher. We really were Jekyll and Hyde though despite the win. Derby could have had a few in the first half as I recall. Skippy had a great game and luckily, their keeper had a right mare in the second half to help us romp to victory.
 
I think it was the night I spent straight from the match to queue for tickets for Wembley for the Coca Cola cup final. I managed about 30 seconds sleep!!
 
I'm sure it was the Blackburn game, I was on days went straight to the game after work, after the game joined the queue, at about half two the club announced the no more tickets & will post out from then on, I was a ST holder & still queued
My wife & daughter brought me some food & a flask around dinner time
I went to work for my nightshift, knackered

Tickets were then posted out & this was repeated for THE FAC final

I could be wrong mind

I honestly can’t remember. I just remember us battering someone which made the night go by quicker. I had a season ticket also but got a ticket around 1pm then straight to work for a 2-10 shift. I was all over the place after the lack of sleep.
