Frank Burrows’ interview at the end is.different. A first goal which features more skill and creativity than the current team can manage and a sad second goal.

Great memories, went to Cambridge the week after too. Thought Frankie was a bit harsh there at the end. It looked like we totally dominated based on those 14 minutes, apart from the usual late panic stations of course.
Jason Fowler was a good player, that cross for super Kevin Nugent was sublime, matched only by the header!
Saw Nugent play the other week at Pen y bont for the Jason Bowen fundraiser and what struck me was, for all his dominance in the air as a target man for us, he wasn't that tall. Doubt if he was 5'11.
Bowen was a good player.
Millwall at home was the 'highlight' of '99

Don't recognise the name Mitchell from that squad. Can't remember much about Hill either

City played with three at the back that season and Mitchell was a regular pick. City were what you might call a footballing side that season and Mitchell was pretty good at playing out from the back. He did a good solid job for us, but, as I remember it, moved on after we won promotion, so Frank Burrows must have thought League Two was his level.
Danny Hill was a talented and creative midfielder who had the ability to have played at a higher level than us, yet never really became a regular selection, but he provided the odd moment of great skill (eg a goal he scored against Brighton early in Sam Hammam’s time at the club). There cannot have been many clubs in the lower division that selected two “flair” players (Hill and Jason Fowler) in their central midfield- it didn’t happen too often though
Of course after watching that and knowing the next game was Cambridge away, you just have to listen to the next cambridge away radio commentary in the December after they both got promoted. "We only need 8 men..........."
