  • So in the 2nd caption "only a win will secure league status". And they drew... so presumably they went down....

  • @malthuswasright - well done noddy.  if you read caption it says GOING Into the last game only a win will seure league status. a draw would only secure if other results went our way but a win would secure it in any case.

  • Just as a side question, how old was Torquay goalkeeper, Kenny Allen? He doesn't look a day over 44 here.

  • he was about 38ish in this clip.one of the best games i have been too. your right before this game we were 2nd from bottom with burnley at the bottom. they won , we drew and with lincoln losing at swansea a point was enough on goal difference. love to know what any of the players are doing now ? remember a poom of dust coming up from dobsons boot when he scored the goal.... then everyone going crazy

  • Hate the music in this video! Let's have one without it.

  • this song was number 1 at the time of this match, thats why i selected it .
