Yeah, of course we were.
Yes.
Yes.
Just.
Yeah, yeah.

I've seen it a couple of times.
No, I can't remember.
David Platt scored the goal.
We won 1-0.
Yeah, I remember it.
Platt took it off my head.
I remember thinking that.
I would have scored and been really, really famous, but Platt got in front of me and nicked it like he used to, innit?
I was there, it was just on my head, that far away, I'm just about to end it, come in here and end it in.
