Taro Bishop, Ross Maynard and Richie Joslin

Richard Shannon takes it all in

The squad get ready for the big picture...

...alongside a very proud landlord of the Wrey Arms, Mark Rogers


The Boss and his Captain discuss tactics

Brothers in arms

Maynard goes mental...

Getting instructions from the FA

"toniiiiight, I'm a rock n' roll star!"

"Is it me, or are they wearing flip flops?". Bovey arrive in style.

You can feel the nerves.

A nice touch from the big man. Lucky gloves?

Jossie hones his technique

"Cheers!"

A good warm up...



The biggest teamtalk of Toddy's career.

Barrow leads the boys out.

The official lineup.

Meeting the guest of honour

A poignant moment of reflection...

"Come on Boys!"

The midfield general starts well...

...and almost heads Boca into the lead.

Deaks controls the tempo...

...but Shannon steals the headlines...




The King of Ladysmead



What a save. Babbsy silences the critics.


A fitting ovation for Deaks.

The Boss runs out of nails.


Can Monsell seal it late on?

Though he was the calm one?!

Unbelievable. Truly a squad effort.

The glittering prize.

Totally deserved.

History.

"Campione! Campione! O-ay! O-ay! O-ay!"

Legends.

Friends off the pitch show their support.
