Can't remember exact details of the match, but it's the first game I can actually remember being at. I was only 7 and went down on the coach full of blokes from Kirkburton with my dad and brother. We'd been to the Autoglass final the year before but I can't remember that match, but this match I do remember, purely for the atmosphere and how massive it seemed. I remember people literally screaming and crying when Billy scored the winner, and then the screams and tension at the end when we were hanging on were unbelievable, grown men reduced to hiding behind their hands waiting for full time. Obviously I do that myself now but at the time it was amazing to see how emotionally invested people were with it all, and I think that's what got me so into it as well. It's probably my favourite memory of my dad as well, that and a few more matches just after that time.
