I got a letter from Barry Hunter after my first game (my dad organised it somehow!), signed by a selection of some of the most average players in our history - Sean Connolly, Craig Dove, Adrian Littlejohn... :lol: A nice person touch by the club though.

The stand out player for us during that season.

Used to watch Barry when he played for Crusaders in N. Ire.

rob wolleaston's goal against a very physical stevenage.

That was a great moment. I remember hugging my old man which is rare. I went absolutely mental! Quite a sight in the South Stand. ;)

That was just awesome, I had to have a little minute's recovery after celebrating the goal so much. The resulting banner on here will never be beaten.

downer getting number 8. we'd have given plenty of championship sides a footballing treat that day. passing and finishing was top drawer.
ashodi scoring was funny.

I wasn't there, but a certain fan fell over a metal bin at Histon Away. When I heard the story it sounded funny!

Was talking about that last night!!! :lol:

So many more to talk about i'll try and mention games/days that haven't been spoke about......

Being at Weymouth 0-9 R&D was a very weird day, it was amazing too witness but it was literally men against boys and the young weymouth keeper getting man of the match proves how strange a day it was.

Really enjoyed Barrow 1-6 R&D it was another day like the gateshead game where it just all clicked we were fantastic it was such a mission to get there by train but was so worth it and even Neil Cousins scored!!!

Watching our boys run out at hillsborough in front of over 22,500 fans with Duane in the crowd with us.

The home game when Duane came and stood on the terrace years after leaving us, and when he was on the pitch before the K*ttering game.

There is loads more i'll have another think and come back, I really do miss it but i'm really excited now for next season!!!

that was such a good match, i dragged my family there on the way back from a holiday in the lakes and so glad i did, i knew we were going to have a special season from then.

i still struggle to beat the changes in feeling from Turley letting in that goal away at Rochdale to the winning goal and just going mental, some bloke behind me actually broke the seat as he was jumping up and down so much!

The few times Shrewsbury played us while Duane was there were great. The first when he didn't play and every shot they missed was greeted with a chant of "Darby would have scored that".

Then when he did play and he joined in jump up if you hate K*ttering like the old days. :mrgreen:

I still chuckle to myself when i think about this :lol: :lol: :lol:

Everyone was really quiet and then we heard a loud clash and the person in question had fell straight over it :lol: Proper slapstick humour!!
