Certainly, a day never to forget, and Richard Gardham's passage in his book sums up the emotions of the day perfectly. please log in to view this image
Brilliantly put. A moment many on here will never forget till the day we die. A couple of rows back from me was a bloke probably in his 40s / 50s, bald shaven head, built like a brick out house. He'd been calling the players all sorts during the game, especially the second half. After the final whistle I turned round and saw him sat there head in hands absolutely bailing his eyes out. Tears streaming down. Will never forget it. I had a tear in my eye but nothing like that. I wonder what his story was. Even now I get that lump in my throat remembering back. #HappyDeanoDay
Think I might print and frame that for the wall that already has a pic of Boothferry Park and the MKM
You could never explain to a non-football person what an event like this means to supporters, they'll never get it and many will likely never experience anything like it. Other sports can come close but football is just the greatest.
What a great day. I did not think I would be able to make it. Got ripped off for a ticket first. but then on the morning of the match my old house mates, brothers, kids teachers wife, had the ****s on the morning of the game, so I came across from near Bristol to meet him at the bobby moore statue and got her ticket. Great drive back I have to say
I remember coming out of a pub in the Canary Isles. Tears in my eyes whilst the ex wife tried to explain to our 3 young children that Dad was happy and not Sad. Great great day .
I've just forwarded that link to one of my two Bristol City supporting mates who were there that day. They both took it in good humour at the time despite being devastated. Unfortunately one of them has since died far too young from colon cancer, and his name funnily enough was Phil Brown. RIP Phil mate.
Hands down the best day of my life (although I'm not married and don't have kids) I'll never forget it, still remember it vividly even now. Sharing it all with my dad, and my eyes always start to water when I really sit and relive it, and the emotions
What a day. My late dad, my 2 brothers and a handful of mates witnessed the greatest day of our Tigers supporting lives. 15 years has flown by and today we remember family and friends no longer with us but who shared that day. Love you Dad.
