MATCH QUOTES

“When their player came up to take the kick I’d already made up my mind to dive to my right. “He didn’t hit it very hard bur tried to place it to my left and I had time to stick out at hand. “The ball went loose and he and another Rotherham player came charging in for the rebound. “I just flung myself across the goalie not really knowing where the ball was, but Fred Turnbull ran back from behind the two Rotherham players, got the ball first and scrambled it away.” John Dunn.
