I got interviewed b4 the game by radio Bristol so searched for it the next day to hear how much of a prat I sounded like,found nothing unfortunately,but I did say we would be on the pitch afterwards in celebration."Oxford won't score today" we're my last words on air,took as a given that Accy would win.

Radio Bristol commentary is generally terrible but thats one piece I'd listen to again and again.

Nice to hear that again. The roar as the Accrington result came in will stay with me forever.

I bought the DVD and was watching it a couple of weeks ago and saw my mum on the pitch at the end. That was probably the last time we went together, she died in September, such a lovely memory to keep, thanks Rovers

Beautiful!!! Up there with 2nd May 1990! 2nd May 1990 was a schoolboy's wildest dream come true, but getting promotion with practically the last kick of the season is also incredible. I can't say which was better because I wasn't there in May. I listened to the radio until just after half time and then I couldn't take it anymore. I went out into the garden and chopped down a tree I had been putting off doing. You know how time gets away from you. This tree was a bastard. I thought there was still 10 mins or so to go so went to check my phone and had a text from my brother saying we'd done it! I didn't believe him! I had I check about three different sources before I could start celebrating! One thought. How much sweeter a memory is it now that Brown got the goal, rather than had Matty's shot snaked in off the post! |

That's the bit that always sticks out to me and makes my hairs stand on end when I think back to that day. If only you could bottle that feeling. That roar rattled the foundations of my soul. It was so powerful that our ancestors heard it. I've never danced, pranced and cried with so many complete strangers before, and people say this game is just 22 men and a football......where else in life does one feel this alive? I felt like my entire lifetime following the Gas was leading up to that moment, and even in retrospect, all those years of pain were suddenly worth it. My loans were repaid. I was in profit. Don't get me started on that day, it was as close to a fairytale season as one could ask for, with a Hollywood blockbuster ending. You couldn't write that game. |

Lee Brown sent us up, say Lee Brown sent us up! |
