Never heard this side of the Wembley story until just now. Emotional listen that was

Thanks for the heads up!

Brilliant. This should be played before our first home game next season!

Excellent interview , a real roller coaster of emotions from Jimbo

This programme brought tears to my eyes, hearing Jim's story of beating York in the semi final, and the preparation for Wembley and his dad being taken ill.
Interspersed with commentary from the final,I was taken right back to being at Wembley all over again.
When Gary Thompson equalised to make it 1-1, I did a fist pump once again.Even ten years on,it still means so much.
Danny Carlton's winning goal must be one of the best ever seen at Wembley, but maybe I'm slightly biased.
An emotional account from our Legend Jim, and so sad for him to go from the highs of his greatest football career moment to his dad's passing a week later.
I feel proud and privileged that we have Jim Bentley as our manager.
