Just watched the highlights of our win and I still blub like a baby.

I just love the Sky Sports studio clip when the winner went in .. Jeff Stelling screaming "OMG" and Sue Smith yelling "Its Ivan Toney!!" .. brilliant!

Rewatching the Play-off Final
I still watch the highlights, its the second goal that gets me every time.
After so many awful non showings at finals, to take the lead so early with an ice cold penalty showed this was going to be different, but in your mind you are waiting for something horrible and unlucky to happen because it always bloody does.
The second goal was the big watershed moment for me, we weren't going to do it again, it was our day. Having said that, at 2.0 up, with the extra man and 5 mins of injury time I was still writing the headlines in my head of the biggest collapse in Play Off final history, but the players weren't having it.

Thank you! Not seen that since watching it on the day. What a great moment and showed me how much I miss Jeff on Soccer Special. His presentation skills, enthusiasm and sheer passion for football (especially Hartlepool!) was second to none. Simon Thomas, eat your heart out.

All the football score programs are unwatchable now. Makes me appreciate how good stelling and his gang were

I must rewatch that final again. The bit that always sticks in my mind that sums the day up and also the history of our past humiliations on that stage was after the wonder goal for 2-0 the camera cuts to a downcast Swansea fan ,sat down, checking his watch to see how long is left.
I recognise that pain too well and hence that moment just intensifies the joy of that goal from our perspective as victors.

On Saturday's Soccer Special? Simon Thomas is the main host but sometimes Julian Warren does a Saturday, although he usually does the midweek ones.

If that shot, by Ivan, that hit the underside of the crossbar, had gone in, so soon after we'd gone 2-0 up, I reckon we'd have absolutely slaughtered them.

It would also have been the best goal ever at Wembley.

Agreed. At 3-0 down they wouldn’t have had a choice but to try and attack us over and over again. We’d have picked them off and won by at least 5.
