What they Said
โI enjoyed it.
โI wasn't nervous and I must admit I was surprised.
โIn fact I get more nervous in reserve matches.
"I dropped two crosses early on. The first I should have punched but when the ascend came over I was given a right hook.
"It's the first time I've been on the winning side this season.โ
Geoff Crudgington.
"In the last 15 minutes I was running on heart alone.
โMy legs felt like jelly.โ
Bruce Rioch.
