The 'Crewe Way' may be old hat and trodden on by FA mismanagement and Premier League greed, but it was a simply joyous afternoon.
PS Does anybody know how Sean Miller is? Worrying injury, but he kept upright until the final whistle.
Amazingly he managed 60 minutes for Bakes on Sunday, despite carrying a leg at the end on Saturday (40 minutes more than Nick Powell who also played 90 the day before). Equally amazingly Colin Little played the full match (only 80 minutes) and still looked sharp and chasing down balls at the end, as well as showing you don't lose the goal poacher's instinct on a loose ball in the area for the goal!
