Ashton Kate threatened me with walking home if we didn’t win… thank you Christian Roberts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t go but listened to Radio Bristol, was just mental! Absolutely iconic game. Yes it would have been great to be there but it was just unbelievable listening to it on Radio Bristol. Listening to that will live with me forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t know the result until I got home from the game later that evening and phoned him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure he scored a hat trick up at Barnsley when he was just unplayable. Always seemed to score at Ninian Park against “his” team & of course that iconic Hartlepool goal. He had no control of the ball it would hit his foot and he would run after it didn't stop being a star and a Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 'perfect' hat trick against Barnsley, left foot, right foot and header. All on the day before my 18th birthday too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
