Was there that day-and Nevin's run is one of my most cherished memories. Watching from the Shed in front of the Tea bar Pat picked it up no more than 6 yards from our goal line, beat a couple of defenders immediately a one two with Kerry on half way then continued drifting past a more helpless Newcastle players and ended up hanging a cross to the far post where I think it was headed out for a corner..

We've had so many wonderful days in the last 20+ years but that season is still my favourite when taken as a whole. Saw 44 games including 2 reserve matches, 5-0 to start, 5-0 to finish, a new group of heroes from nothing really, fantastic away days all season (Man City on a Friday night my favourite I think) great foootball, fantastic atmosphere all year really.

Would be in a list of my favourite games , reason being for the absolute joyous feeling that experienced at Stamford Bridge that day. We had been through such a bad time in the previous seasons and didn't really know what to expect with all these new players but remember the feeling of incredible joy and excitement as the game went on and the realisation that we might actually have a team again after having gone through all the lows.

Wonderful day

The Derby picture we had the whole terrace and the two tiers of seats above!

Leeds 8-9000 Newcastle 8,000 Pompey was about 11 plus Brighton 15,000 approx. Palace Fulham the same Man City we were on all four sides of ground so hard to say. Grimsby loads paid cash to get in on an all ticket game. Got to be over 10,000 there.

Such a great season to travel both home and away. You just never knew until you got there how many would be at the game!
