My mind, looking ahead to the game last week, was going back to 89, the Liverpool-Arsenal-Michael Thomas game at Anfield.

That was the closest thing I could remember to the scenario where they had the top two going at it in the last game of the season.

But I don't think anything will ever, ever...

ever beat that actually the first person I went on the pitch at the end when we went on to do the player interviews and I went straight to the York City goalkeeper who I'm in quite a lot of contact with throughout the weeks he keeps a massive record of all his clean sheets and he's joint fifth in the all-time list for clean sheets for York City he was desperate to get that fifth place by himself so Harrison Maley was the first person I went to and I was like Harrison I am so pleased that you conceded that goal today because if you hadn't you would have never given us that ending

David, I'm presuming, I've only just thought of this actually, but how close were you to, I mean, I'm presuming BBC Radio Manchester had a team there to commentate on Rochdale.

So how close were you to them?

How aware were you of their commentary when Rochdale scored?

And actually, I've not listened back to what it sounds like that goal, the York equaliser on BBC Radio Manchester.

Have you heard that?

I haven't.

They played it actually on Sports Report.

Chappers played it.

They played their commentary on BBC Manchester of the York goal.

back to back without going off the back so you can imagine they're slightly different but we had Chris Coles who was there for you guys on Five Live as well who was directly behind us it was quite nice actually that he was there because we go back quite a long way I did a couple of games with Chris Coles nine or ten years ago for BBC Radio York so for him to be there as well and witness that dramatic ending was it was it was just a great day all around it couldn't have been any better

What was the reaction of the Rochdale supporters around you?

Because I've done a commentary from Spotland and you're right in the thick of it.

And when you're getting excited as you are, sometimes I think you can lose yourself in the moment and then all of a sudden everyone starts to look at you, don't you, because you're making such a noise.

Yeah, I have to be fair.

They were brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant.
