    Nice piece without being clichéd and patronising.

    Think they should get Disco and Bobby in to talk to them though, get them pepped up!

    I think that's the first time I've heard about John Terry coming into the dressing room to congratulate the team. A bit of positive press for him for once!

    Never actually realised/remembered that Bobby played centre midfield. I just remember him trying to throw himself in front of every pass, shot and header.

    We used Jamal Campbell Ryce to mark Cole. He gave it absolutely everything, and it is just as well because Joe was their best player on the night, but Bobby Hassell was unbelievable - putting his body in the line of loads of shots from outside the box. Our goalie didn't have a decent save to make. I was as high as a kite after that match - the first pint in Bramahs took about 30 seconds, the second not much longer. After that the night slowly ascended into a boozy haze. Great memories.

    My memory of Sir Bobby, apart from the heroics, was him bouncing off Michael Essien :)
