It was still anybody's game and the noise was deafening.
And then, would you believe it, Ian McKechnie saved from Dennis Law.
Forever and ever, Law will go down as the first man to miss in a penalty shootout, and McKechnie, he will go down as the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in a penalty shootout.
Next up it was Ken Wagstaff, my hero.
And I knew we were going to win.
He was going to score and we were going to beat Manchester United.
And then how could he do that?
The next penalty taker was Willy Mogan.
He scored for United and now it was sudden death.
What happened next in my book shouldn't have happened.
Ian McKinney, our goalkeeper, went up to take the kick.
I still maintain that Ian McKechnie was the right choice.
He had a sweet left foot and he had the guts to do it and I'd have put money on him to score.
Please not him.
I couldn't believe it.
My mum couldn't believe it.
