GOALS
1. OKOCHA v WEST HAM - JJ picks up the ball in his own half, beats 27 West Ham players, rides a despicable challange from Joe Cole to lash the ball into the net. Crucial winner against our main relegation rivals that season.
2. FRANK WORTHINGTON - Beats everyone, including the Programe Seller,
with back to goal, flicks the ball over shoulder - volley into the net. Orgasm.
3. GARDNER v BARNSLEY - Dunno why, but it just sticks in my mind.
An otherwise crap game against our relegation rivals. Gardner picks up the ball, nothing on for him at all, but from 35 yards out he just cracked it into the net for the winner.
SIGNINGS
1. GUDNI BERGSSON
Dont think i need to explain that one.
2. EIDUR GUDJOHNSEN
Pure class. Shame we had to let him go.
3. RICARDO GARDNER
Very underestimated in my opinion.
VICTORIES
1. PLAY OFF FINAL v READING - An emotional rollercoaster of a game.
2. AT HOME TO LIVERPOOL - Holdsworth scores last minute winner.
Can't remember going home on such a high for a long long time.
3. AWAY TO MANURE (2002) - Lightening did indeed strike twice.
DISSAPOINTMENTS
1. PLAY OFF FINAL v WATFORD - the whole team played crap. Eidur missed some great chances.
2. PLAY OFF SEMI FINAL v IPSWICH - We was robbed. Simple as.
3. FINAL GAME OF SEASON v CHELSEA - We had to match Evertons result to stay up. Chelsea gave us the first half but we couldnt score. Chelsea came out second half and played us off the pitch. Relegated on goal difference. Bugger.
