That LFA semi-final at Wigan was brutal. Stanley 3-1 up with 10 minutes to go.... we all thought we was home and dry. I have never sat on a more despondent coach home than that one.

The Blackburn game was freezing cold mid-week, we weren't allowed to stand up and stamp our feet to get warm, but we all wanted to see Haggis do well, rest his soul.

I think the Harwood game was after a draw at our place, I have some of the footage on cine8 somewhere.

We played Knowsley in the cup v league winners at the end of the season, I have the team picture with me on it as sub, we only had 10 players, I think Dave Baron turned out, and I was used with someone elses name that was registered! I was kit boy at the time.

Very knowledgable stuff, as always on this site, from the contributors here. Sorry I have only just seen the thread.
