14 yrs ago today, I went up for a corner taken by Chris brunt and rose above a 17yr old Gareth Bale and equalised in the last minute with a bullet header for Sheffield Wednesday in front of the Kop, to score my only goal in 563 top flute appearances, What a Feeling ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Poor effort from both keepers in that shootout, you’ve got no chance if you don’t commit and go full blast,, at least 5 could have easily been saved, more strength in Kit Kat fingers
