    I was a ball boy the day Dessie scored. Sadly I was down t’Trent End, so didn’t get a front row view.

    I never realised until today that Des Walker's only goal (in the right end!) came with Steve Sutton in goal for the opposition...

    It did. I was 11 years old and stood on an upturned beer crate behind that goal. Fortunately my dad, who's always been a bugger for leaving games early to 'beat the traffic', had broken the habit of a lifetime and stayed to the end.

    I went out with a girl back in the day who confided in me she was there that day, but had left early and missed the goal.

    Unlike the 1.2 million people who claimed they were there?

    I was driving to Liverpool.

    Google tells me it was New Year's Day 1992. I don't know exactly where I was, but it was definitely not the City Ground. I suspect I was probably passed out on some random person's floor in Leeds recovering from the night before.

    IIRC it was a dog of a game. Went a goal down early on and the there was a hour and a half of shit before It Happened.

    I was there, and a rare stand in the Trent End. I was still there for the goal as dad never left early but i probably didn’t see it as I was 10 and likely looking at something else.

    I wasn't there.

    I wasn't at Peterborough either.

    Or Knebworth.

    Or Spike Island.

    But I'll always have the 9 men at Cov away.

    I was there but I missed the goal. It was beer related, it’s hazy.
    I was also at Spike Island so there is that. The sound was shite.

    I was only there for the theft of the promotional spanner. Which didn’t work properly.

    I was there for the Lewis McGugan free kick.
    Standing outside the ladies as my daughter was desperate and needed a piss.

    I was definitely at Peterborough. I think I was there when Des scored. But I'm less certain on that.

    Think that's the most angry I've ever been at a football game. Though 1-2 of the times we played Sheffield United when they had Warknock as manager probably come close.
