Several clips of the fans in the Grange end: someone may recognise themselves.
Excellent goal by Fowler. Imagine if we had him a Whitts in the same team!
Not so Excellent defending by Brentford for our 4th

That goal by Jason Fowler is one of my favourites.Quote:

I saw the title. Immediately thought: Fowler's chip; Herman Heridarssson getting the runaround all game. Fowler's goal was amazing. One of my top 5. This was a big game, we battered them. Fowler was class. Should really have played at a higher level, but had a thyroid problem which must have been a nightmare for him.
Mark Delaney was one hell of a player, too. And Eckhardt.
Man, I miss Ninian Park!
While our results didn’t fall off the edge of a cliff after we sold Delaney, the home wins virtually dried up as we drew game after game. Delaney was sometimes unplayable at that level, he was a true wing back that season proving to be very solid defensively and, arguably, our best attacker. He didn’t play much for Villa in the last few months of 98/99, but he was in the team every week the following season and stayed there until injury started taking a toll - I’m struggling to think of another player who handled the jump from fourth tier to first in the Premier League era so seamlessly.Quote:

A great afternoon, was on the Grange End - recall it was also Frankie Burrow's birthday too. Remember him throwing his cap on the floor at 3-0 up after one of our lot made a mistake!Quote:

Can’t remember exactly who it was, but think it was Deon Dublin? He picked Delaney in his team. I remember being quite shocked at that. Goes to show what a quality player Delaney was.Quote:

I think that was when he was playing for Carlisle? Stripey job, with Eddie Stobart on it.Quote:

Yeah ran the length of the pitch, took on half their team. Only goal he scored for us.Quote:

great game, superb kit. thought hallworth was a class keeper, qpr pen saves spring to mind.
This clip had us talking on Tuesday night in the pub beforehand, no one could remember Mitchell
Playing centre half for us at the time?
We couldn't get a signal until we got outside
I even bumped into the Boss MM in the concourse under the Ninian stand and he didn't have a clue either
Turns out he played over 40+ games for us and I remembered his face once Google was available
Brentford 'keeper is Freddie Woodman's [ex Swansea] father..
