Re: Random games from the past with no real significance

Barnet away in the FA Cup in late 1999. They were top of division 3, us top of division 2, and it was the first time I'd ever seen us on SKY. We won 1-0 when a Paul Cook cross flew into the net.

We won at Premier League Derby in the next round.
