Well that was some end to a match.I was absolutely convinced we'd end up drawing this one so absolutely buzzing.Cracking support from the fans.He's a star man.......
Amongst the jumping & shouting GEEEEETTTTTT IIIIIINNNNN !!! I think a shed a little tear when Sterry scored. I'm about as positive as you can get but I'd just about given in too, what a moment !

Thought this was going the same way
I had beer cans at Wembley, not champagne bottles.Only thing is they were being lobbed at me by a few Leeds supporters as they boarded their coach. near to where I was parked.!

Thought this was going the same way 1-0 down, if I recall correctly. A win would have seen us go up automatically. Greeny got the equaliser and it was one way traffic, until Cheltenham scored against the run of play. We threw the kitchen sink at them, but to no avail. Southend in the playoffs it would be.I took a bottle of champagne in the boot of the car, firmly expecting promotion to be sealed. That same bottle went to Wembley a few weeks later. Didn't make it home though.
Yeah I very disappointing day, we stopped at the services on the m5 on the way which was rammed with all rovers supporting creating atmosphere that we had already won the game and been promoted.The leeds fans were horrible that day, we thought we had managed to escape the trouble, and then got back to Stanmore tube station car park where a group were attacking anyone in rovers colours, including kids.And they wonder why they are referred to as scum!Great result yesterday, but omg did they leave it late, thought there were 2 pens, can’t believe the street wasn’t given, the defender missed the ball and his legs went straight through street’s leg, ref had a clear view.
