I’m just gutted there’s no video footage of that OG at Kettering in 2005, I have never seen a more classic example of the genre in 30 years of watching us.

And the absolute bedlam in the Alty end.

In the frustrating absence of any video footage, here's a photograph of that sublime Alty moment:

If you fancy reliving that day back in May 2005, then here's a gallery to browse through (and the chance to spot a few famiilar faces in the Alty away support, quite a few of whom are sadly no longer with us):

Thanks Cult
It has just reminded me just how close to David Birch I was with my 10 year old son ! Not the best place to stand, but he needed to see over the hoardings

Thanks cult, for the photos.
I was there but avoided the pics.
That was some day,  and another great ALTY side.
Was working with Chrisy Adams at that time. We had to work on Saturday mornings , he couldn’t believe how I got there on time.
There was one photo showing behind the goal.
It’s sad a lot of ALTY fans no longer with us, but they left that day very happy.

All three KTFC  players are thinking the same thing, it rhymes with 'luck'.

what a moment, I just remember getting drenched with beer, wasn't it that lads testimonial year or final game?

It was his testimonial year & I believe after like 10 years or something it was his last ever game for Kettering too, unbelievable way to go out the poor bugger.

I think his irony filter needs replacing.
