The play-off final was incredibly painful, but not in the same way.

It didn't have the same surreal ineptitude and sense of abject humiliation that Fulham did - it was just that we lost a really close, really emotionally draining contest. The play-off final, agonising as it was, strengthened my passion for NCFC and for football - Fulham threatened to destroy it ...

I didn't make a single game in 2000-1 - I considered Bolton away when I was up in Manchester as my American friends wanted to go 'an English soccer game' and couldn't get tickets for City or United. My friend told me it wouldn't have been fair to take them to see Norwich. And they were right - we lost.
