Been present for many amazing goals since 1980. Hamer at Wembley was the most emotional for me. One of the best moments of my life for all kinds of reasons.
Assuming we make play offs this time and comparing with the play off final team, I'd go for:

I never thought I’d see these days as the game nearly died through hooliganism in the 80s with 7,000 odd at HR.
In L2 and L1 without a...
It's starting to feel like the 2022-23 season. A late run for the play offs. Every game now matters and seems like a cup final. And I'm totally on edge - I can only really enjoy the win hours after the final whistle. I was convinced after half time we'd blown it today. This is everything I...
