I don't agree that League 1 was "dismal days", dropping into League with minus 10 points was dismal, but once the season got under way I thought it was exciting (ok, frustrating when the early results didn't go our way). Watching the arrival of decent players including Jose to take the team up the league and onto Wembley don't forget - that wasn't dismal.
I stand behind the Northam goal and my particular memory of the CB's was the vision of Radhi collecting the ball in our penalty area (Chapel End - 1st half of course) and starting to run with it down the centre. the initial space he had allowed him to pick up speed and by the time he was through the centre circle none of the opposing players wanted to get near him such was his momentum! obviously nothing came from this run, I don't remember how the move broke down, just the vision of this man-mountain thundering towards goal at full flight will stay with me always.
You're right, Jose will be one of our all time greats.
