You are a star LA, that's fab. The free-kick for the second goal is right in front of the schoolboys' section. There is someone who looks a lot like me at 16 secs! I was 12, not long moved to England, living in Mill Hill East.
Main memory is of climbing the dark steps up then seeing the green pitch for the first time before descending. We stood below the surface of the pitch. The half-time scoreboard letters!
Had taken myself to Underhill the Saturday before, Barnet 2 Telford United 0.
Hang on. Is that GG {him, not me} doing a near post flick-on from the corner for the first goal? If so, wow, just wow. We basically won two titles cos he taught Stevie Bould how to do that. I thought Stroller had invented it - never realised Bertie Mee taught him how to do it in the first place.
We should keep doing it. I reckon Saliba could learn. Gabby and Jesus at the back post. Granit blocking the 'keeper. Best corner routine ever. {Though that ball for Cedric on the edge of the box last season was quite cool.}
I don't think the near post corner was ever rocket science. The amazing thing with that side was the frequency with which it worked - much to do with the brilliance of Marwood's set pieces. Think we have scored a goal like this this season but Vardy provided the flick on
