"we got close to being promoted in 87 when we got to the playoff final"
Should have edited the word close, too. Didn't feel close leaving Wembley that day in 1991.
That was a day that will forever be etched so very clearly in my mind. Went there with such high hopes, as we'd been brilliant vs Millwall in both legs, but it all went wrong. While I was sat there at Wembley seeing my dreams crumble, my girlfriend had decided to use the time to move out of our flat.
When I got in, I was just devastated. All my hopes and dreams, gone. All my plans, dashed. I was truly inconsolable, went over the road for a few in the Burlington, but couldn't even get any enthusiasm up for getting drunk, then back to the miserable, and empty flat. I was so down it was about Wednesday before I realised Vicky had gone!
