I'll have said this before but after the League Cup game at Gigg a few weeks later my dad literally pushed me towards Cottee after the game to get his autograph. At least he didn't put five past us like he did when he was playing for West Ham in 1983 and they stuffed us 10-0.

Yesterday was also the 7th anniversary of Bury being chucked out of the league and the 38th anniversary of my first game (3-1 win vs Wolves, kicked off at 11am for fear of their rampaging fans).
