Last week's was great as was the Derby semi-final victory but I struggle to recall the Walsall invasion too clearly.  Although it was so long ago, I have great memories of the Lincoln promotion invasion with the players & Roger with his cigar on the Cottage balcony. Ripped my shirt climbing the fencing that we had back then but well worth it.

Add to those the pitch invasion at the end of the 0-0 draw at Mansfield which confirmed promotion from Div 4 and the players celebrating in the main stand with Jimmy Hill. A really tired performance after the heroics of at Carlisle 3 days before with Mark Walton outstanding.
Times faded a bit regarding the celebrations after the victory in the 120th minute of the Cup semi final replay at Maine Road but, as I had a leg in plaster at the time, I wouldn't have got on the pitch. One thing I do remember was getting off the coach at Shepherds Bush at about 03.00 and making my way in the direction of Ealing on my crutches rather than waiting for the night bus for some reason.
