I thought the semi-final defeat was a blessing in that had we played Tottingham there would have been big trouble. The semi was the last time I stood at the Leppings Lane end. Whilst I used to launch into one about Rodney the Plonker in the Mad Dog era, they were amazing to watch - if we ever get the equivalent of Strachan/McAllister/Batty/Speed again I will be a very happy man!
