Henry Race: Ji's last gasp winner against Man City. I ended up four rows in front of where I'd been sitting, upside down on somebody else's lap and with my specs bent out of shape.

Derek Heydon: Kieron Richardson free kick v the Mags. First time we had beaten them at the Sol or at home since 1980.
