Hego's Memories of the season, 2000-2001

  • 10,000 Claret and Blue Balloons at Bramall Lane.
  • Crescendo of noise before the start of the B****rds game at home.
  • Ralph Coates at Selhurst Park.
  • Stan’s health problems.
  • Abysmal standard of refereeing pretty much throughout the season.
  • Preston at home, performance, revival, full of character, commitment and pride.
  • Twenty-fifth anniversary of the London Clarets.
  • Brassy and Cookey’s comments on leaving the club. Top men.
  • Glen Little all season.
  • Surprise at Dean West’s resurrection from the dead at the end of the season.
  • House of Commons Dinner.
  • Paul Weller maturing from a West Ham want-away to Claret midfield general.
  • The worst day of my life at Deadwood Park.
  • NTG one-handed catches, and how not to keep goal at the City Ground.
  • The last minute Payton winner at Tranmere.
  • The Fulham home performance, particularly Glen’s winner.
  • Cox and Gray play for their countries whilst on Claret payroll.
  • ‘Big Club’ Birmingham pathetic away following.
  • Buy I Moore for £1 million after offering the Stockport financial genii (?) more.
  • Usual failure in the Cup competitions.
  • Naming of the Harry Potts Way.
  • Being above the B****rds in the League for almost half the season.
  • Driving to the eventually postponed Scunthorpe away match and getting done for speeding.
  • Foul language at soccer matches = Racist Abuse.
  • Abysmal away performances at Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday.
  • Lee Howey finally granted entry in to the Clarets Hall of Infamy.
  • Seventh place in the First Division finishing only two points from a play-off spot.
  • Excellent combative away wins at Watford, Norwich and Wimbledon.
  • Stan Ternent somehow not the Manager of the Month for October 2000.
  • Ferry trip to Gillingham.
  • David Eyres - rapturous applause from the Claret fans at half time draw during the Tranmere home win. Top man.
  • Terrific game and Claret performance in the loss at Birmingham.
  • Andrew Watson and the ‘Good Behaviour of the Claret fans’ remark following the Deadwood debacle.
