I was behind the camera gantry on the halfway line when that famous ( for us anyway ) clip was filmed. I was in he Club Wembley seats on the middle tier. So every time I get to see it, I get to see Bobby's goal from my actual viewpoint. 89 minutes and 57 seconds of total boredom to compete ecstasy in a split second and wtf one moment in time of trying to process what just happened against all odds. This sort of thing never happens to us.

It's a shame we ****ed it up afterwards though. Especially when other ill equipped sides like Watford, Palace, Burnley, Huddersfield and Bournemouth have done what we couldn't do since, which is stay in the Premier League.

I think I may have said before it was the weekend I moved house down here in Cornwall! We had no TV and certainly no Sky sorted! My darling husband had found the radio in amongst all the boxes, so I could at least listen whilst unpacking boxes in my kitchen with my step daughter and her boyfriend who I had only met for first time the day before! (They had come down from London for our house move)

When we scored I ran into the garden screaming my head off! Not sure the boyfriend ever got over it, he has never visited again!

Not a great introduction to my new neighbours, fortunately don't think they held it against me!

Oh what a day!!!

I'll always have a soft spot for Gary O'Neill too. Firstly for sacrificing himself with that ridiculous tackle, secondly for his celebration in the tunnel.

Ediit: We had Charlie Austin on the wing!
