We were dreadful for most of the game, but those last few minutes were wonderful. I was at the front of the Main Stand terrace, in line with the penalty area, and remember a copper saying “You’ve cheered up” after the winner went in. I’d been shivering and miserable 5 minutes earlier.

That really was a turning point, as I think we’d lost four in a row just prior to it. We beat Sunderland 2-0 the following week and while results were erratic, we went on to have some great performances - even when we lost 4-0 and 1-0 against Liverpool, who are one of the few teams I’ve never seen us beat. Well, Liverpool and Dover.
