I was there that day and as always winning is fantastic. If I am right it was a record crowd at that time for the final. I was supposed to go on a coach but missed it, I managed to get a train and met some lads I went to school with. So disappointing when seeing the state of the old Wembley. A few beers, singing our heads off, chanting and winning.
Mr Richmond was my ex sports teacher at Ripley, great teacher. He scored along with Sutton in a 2-1 win.
I remember the Dartford fans had run round after the final whistle, we were celebrating and they had come in behind us. I was at the front throwing very young children onto the Wembley Pitch and the security was pushing them back.
After leaving to get back to Euston our little group of 10 we were ambushed by other supporter and chased down a dead end with a 8ft wall. My mate said right let’s have them, so I though *hi* or bust, I turned round and he was climbing over the wall another 4 joining him, I was up and over in a flash.
A great day, never forgotten, good on the Club doing this.
