Held it together for abide with me but cried like a baby at the hooter. Never felt so much emotion at a game. Lady behind me holding up a photo of her late dad summed it up what yesterday meant to so many. Not just a game but the top item of bucket list ticked off.

Oddly enough, no I didn't, although my mate blubbed like a good 'un throughout the whole of the presentation! At the end, I was simply ecstatic, alternating between jumping up and down like a maniac, falling to my knees in exhultation and hugging my mates.
Went through every single emotion imaginable during the course of the afternoon. From the depths of despair to the heights of pure joy. It was nerve-wracking to the extreme, but these are the days we live for.
In the aftermath of the following day, I'm still struggling to comprehend what happened yesterday. It simply hasn't sunk in what this marvellous team has given us.
What a game, what a day, what a moment, what an occasion it was. A memory to stay with us forever.
I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Yes i did,plus not being able to watch the last 5-6 minutes,head in hands praying. Did'nt see the Houghton tackle,will watch later.Did'nt hear the final hooter,only realised we had won after peeped through my fingers to see the players jumping on oneanother.We had only won it.The noise was deafening,the emotion was incredible,lots of kissing and hugging,truely amazing. Took an old friend with us,been waiting over 80 years for that,tears streaming down his face.He said to me that his maker could take him now whenever he wanted. It was'nt just a Wembley victory was it,for some it was a life time dream fulfiled.Looking around i realised i am one of many supporters of a truely unique club and so proud of being so.

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

Yes,but think I got away with it! Realised before KO that this would be my old man's last final as his failing mobility and dementia kick in more and more. Thankfully he finally got to see us lift the cup at Wembley with a somewhat bewildered smile on his face. Couldn't help a tear or two rolling down my cheek. He had taken me to 5 finals since the 80's so nice to return the favour with a victory!
