This is getting seriously Twilight Zone now, you're going to mention the "Hit iiiiiiit!" thing next! We both know, deep down, that we must have pogoed together and hugged on the Pop Side that balmy Spring evening... We may very well have done, matey, as I have been involved in a good number of random Hatters hugfests down the years! That goal was special, though. Killer's arrival and subsequent impact was straight out of Roy of the Rovers - I still get goosebumps when I recall that number 11 shirt leaning back to chest the ball and that guy in the crowd screaming "HIT IIIIITTTTT!" Preecey's goal v QPR tops it for the occasion (when the FA Cup still meant something) and opposition, but Killer's actual strike was every bit as good and actually more important - I can give it no higher praise than that! I make no apology for hijacking this thread with County memories! |

Cheers, Fudgie. Really enjoying these. Marginal preference for the FA Cup next time, but happy to have a go at any - or, indeed, all - of them in due course!  |

I agree regarding the FA Cup too, I remember when it was THE trophy that every kid dreamt about! I can still remember those games played on the local field with my mates as a kid, recreating dramatic late winners such as Alan Sunderland's last-minute goal at Wembley against United - shame on those that contributed to killing that magic.  |
