Watching that ball trickle over the line and then realising the dream would not happen was seriously one of the lowest points of my life up to then, and since. I was one of the last left in the ground sitting on the terrace and feeling so, so, low. A policeman approached us and asked my friend, who had come with me, (A Villa fan), if I was alright.
"He's taking it hard." he explained.
And believe me, I can speak for anyone there on that night, it's been hard to take ever since.
