The Radio Sheffield commentary says</p> ".... Marcelle turns (huge roar from crowd) ...and shoots Barnsley into the Premier League!"</p> Do not listen to it while driving!</p> (See Father Bennys Offer)</p>
That seemed to be played Every morning on the way to work during the summer of 1997 . Driving down th M1 with tears in my eyes , reliving that moment , became a daily event .
My mate taped sports report that day He made a promotion celebration tape Imagine the music... "there's no doubt about the headlines today..Barnsley are promoted to the premier league..." Makes me shiver..
Bought every paper the Sunday after the match and for once we were headlines, there being no Premier footy on the Saturday.
I've still got them in my archives Just packed the lot up as I hope to move house in the new year. Re-read a few...brought a tear to the eye
My best moment with that tune In some sleepy oxfordshire village boozer..11.00am Bus load of tarn fans Bemused but happy landlord Monkees on full blast "Cheer up Mark Mcghee..."
My personal favourite was The Red Lion on Tottenham High Road in the Prem. The home fans were in the snug and the away fans in the tap room round the back, where the jukebox was. Somebody had fed the jukebox and just put that song on umpteen times! The barman was going spare - every time the song wound to a close and peace was restored to his pub, there was a two second pause then the intro started again to an uproarious reception from our lot. Magic!
