KC Royal 13th August Sheff Weds H 2-1 - watched on TV at mate's. Cureton got the headlines with his two goals but I remember Shorey oozing class.

WestYorksRoyal I remember listening at home to an excellent midweek 3-1 away win at Sheffield United that season, who were third and very strong at home.
But more memorable was going to the following match; Rotherham at home. Rotherham were 6th, largely built off being tough, competitive and effective. It was seen as a very tricky match following on from such a good result. And we simply blew them away; great goals from Harper, Hughes and Forster had us 3-0 up by half time; they were chasing shadows.
That week convinced me we weren't pretenders; we were genuine promotion candidates. Sadly we all know how it ended, but that season was possibly my second favourite behind 05/06. Good football, genuine excitement given we'd never been a premier league team and I was aged 14 or so, and therefore allowed myself to get far more excited by football than my older cynical self.

KC Royal Got some luck though as was out with mates for the Brighton home game which was also on Sky but wasn't in a pub that was showing the game but another mate was. Think I may have ended up there later but the game had finished by then, so my winning run wasn't ruined!

Playoffs 10th May Wolves A 1-2
14th May Wolves H 0-1 - Watched both at mate's. When we scored up at Molineux must admit I did start to get carried away. Even after Forster went off injured at worst I thought we'd get a draw in that game, so to lose the tie 3-1 after that was disappointing... I think it was the home game when the cameras showed Mrs Butler and her sister Curo's No 1 fan with their flag. Whatever happened to them? Do they still post on here?

Sutekh 15000 + crammed into the South Bank for the 14th game of that winning run v Wolves, promptly followed by a return to the 5000 or so for the next home game

Just discovered that the final regular league game of that season, a defeat at Stoke, was also televised. Would have missed that one as well!

How about over 40,000 travelling to Wembley for the Simon cup final, then the next home game, when they paraded the trophy around Elm Park, in front of all of 11-12,000
