What a match and I’d forgotten what a great team we had. Unbelievable effort from all of them. Kinsella, Rufus and sir Clive were so good in those days! First time I’ve seen the whole game since being at Wembley
At the game - I think I still have a hangover 22 years on
Ilic 7 - 9 clean sheets in a row, but the big occasion got to him Mills 7 - I like him, will hate him when he has his 2nd spell at the club Bowen 8 - Great player, shrew signing K. Jones 7.5 - unsung hero Rufus 8 - Praise the Lord Youds 8 - Beast Newton 7 - quiet, nervy pen Kinsella 7.5 - Standard Bright 7 - did a good job Mendonca 10 - No words are worthy Heaney 7 - not bad
subs: S. Jones 8 - changed the game. Robinson 7.5 - did well Brown 8.5 - bone crunching tackle
Never been a great fan of slow industrial type centre backs, and Youds was never a great favourite but from the replay rather than being there, he had a superb game, four goals or not.
Ilic 6 the beginning of end Mills 5 average Rufus 8 Youds 7 Bowen 8 Newton 7.5 versatile K Jones 7.5 Kinsella 7.5 Heaney 7 always did a solid job Bright 7 Mendonca 10
Illic 6 Rushed out like a nutter for 2nd, beaten at near post for 3rd. Lucky with the pen. Mills 5 At fault for third. Poor distribution. Past it. Bowen 8 K. Jones 8 Rufus 9 Youds 6 At fault for the 1st Newton 8 Kinsella 9 Bright 7 Slow Mendonca 7 Should have scored four. Heaney 7
subs: S. Jones 7 Robinson 8 Brown 8
Curbishly 6 Got it all wrong. Apart from the 'plenty of shots.' No Seed.

Hat trick and the 1st pen ..... my MOM.
I know there will be some posters who'll say he's just a goal hanger, doesn't contribute, waste of space.
