How does your 'football memory' work?

Dean Thomas free kick goal against Portsmouth? late on.

Yes 90th minute, an absolute missile at the Meadow Lane end in only the 2nd home league game following promotion, so it felt like a big moment and a big three points. No bigger ambition than just to consolidate at that stage, you'd never have dared to imagine that Notts could win a successive play off final and reach the QF's of the FA Cup in those early months. That season was, as Colin Slater would put it, a romance.

First thing I usually envisage when anybody mentions anything to do with Notts pre 2001 is the style of the programme for that season - the cover. the manager's notes page and the back page with the line-ups - and also the kit, that gives it the context I need to recall anything else that goes with it. After that the programmes became more generic and the kit changed every season, so it's much harder to place things - plus there's not much worth remembering other than the Munto campaign and the first two seasons after it.
