I don't know if will be playing tomorrow or which team he was in when one-on-one with Forde in the Cardiff goal came hurtling out and knocked him 6 feet in the air :hehe:
Been looking for a clip of the event but can't find one.
Anyone?

That was Forde's debut for us - we beat Preston 4-1 in a televised match on a Friday night when it absolutely pissed down. It's over eleven years ago now, but I can remember Roger Johnsons "interesting" goal celebration as if it was yesterday!Quote:

Fantastic bit of skill on the byline with a quality finish.
Or was that Tranmere ?
Whitts had already scored a couple di think it was by then for us and he ask scored the first goal that night, but I think you are talking up him leaving Graham Alexander with twisted blood as he laid on our fourth goal for Chopra.Quote:

The run rescued our season, having plunged from clear at the top to 8th and 10 points off the top before Whitts made his first start for us. When we beat Norwich in early March, we were back in the playoffs. 2 points from the last 9 games killed the season and we finished in the bottom half.
Was it as bad as 2 points from 9?!
Yes, sadly.Quote:

It was a shocking run of form. Our two points came from late equalisers. Not at any time in those 9 games did we even have the lead. We never even had form as poor as that in the Premier League, when Russell Slade took over or even under Paul Trollope's management. It was truly abysmal, made all the more shocking that we were 6th when we went to Southampton!
Yes cracking result and game
Yes :wave:
Cheers for the memory boost lads.
Yeah, I just assumed he scored, it was the trick I remembered though 👍
