The Orient game which, for me, was still just a rescue situation.
The turning point came in the 2nd leg of the Sherpa Van semi at Preston the season after. Nobody gave us a chance on their plastic pitch but you could hear the 6,500 Clarets from miles away.

Re: The Mighty Kebab
I don't usually order online but did order one from a local takeaway. I selected salad and chilli sauce.
The whole thing was covered with a curry type sauce making everything soggy.
A bit strange but some may comment that I deserved what I got.
