It has to be during the 4-2 away win at Brighton in September 2002. Kevin
James had been booked but in the 90th minute he scored for us and then took
his shirt off in celebration and ran towards the Brighton fans. As a result
the ref books him and as it was his second he had to walk. You should of
seen his face, I just couldn’t stop laughing – so much so that
the ref even had to tell me to get a grip and get on with the game. |
