As we’re now in play off season, I start thinking about this a lot as I do every season. Unbelievably we are approaching the 20 year anniversary!!
Despite all of the success we’ve achieved in recent years, I still say that second leg is my favourite experience as an Albion fan. There is just something about the play offs - a whole seasons work all coming down to one game/moment. The nerves and addrenalin you feel are incredible, it’s no coincidence that the best Amex atmosphere was in a play off game.
Watched the extended highlights of both legs last night and what an amazing night that was, so many memories. The ridiculous weather, Mooney missing again and again, Roberts amazing save, obviously Virgo’s last minute goal (you’re not there yet Swindon fans!
) but then witnessing pure addrenalin as the kid he was then smashed his penalty in, winning the pens and the the celebrations on the pitch. To get to the final and then go up with that limited ability wise but incredibly likeable and committed squad was unbelievable. And what a job McGhee did too. Loved it.
But one thing I didn’t remember until watching the highlights was how dreadful the penalty spot was where the pens were taken, I’m amazed any were scored at all!!
