Remember the parachutist and wondering if he was alright...

...and surprised by how little, if at all, it was mentioned by the media afterwards...

Also, Channon taking his kids on the lap of honour which must have been one of the first - if not the first time - this was done...

When we left we some how took a wrong exit and ended up very much amongst the Sunderland supporters...my first thought was s**t, they're not gonna be happy, but apart from some scamp asking to nick my scarf constantly they were all really nice to us...not a surprise now, I know (friendly final and all that), but I didn't know that at the time...

No I didn't take part in the game but would have done if I'd known about it...

Question: is it an urban myth that a Norwich fan had his head knocked off leaving Norwich station on route for the match? Legend has it it was his first time leaving the Fine City...
