    Weird range of emotions after yesterday’s game but the one thing that I’ll take to the grave is the eerie fact our number 5 scored on the 67th minute.

    You’d laugh at a film director patronising you with that during a fictional story of McNeill’s life, just unbelievable. Literally unbelievable.

    I’ve had two days to process it, and I still can’t believe it happened.

    Couple of people at work talking about it and it sounds so blasé when it’s just thrown into a conversation “the number 5 too, proper McNeill header too, 67th minute eh”. Every time I hear it now I stop and think, dwell on it, try and let it sink in, and it still feels like a fairytale or Hollywood movie.

    We all witnessed something truly remarkable and, like you say, unforgettable moment in our history. As much as I’ve rambled and fired out some words here, I’m still speechless.
