This would have caused a pitch invasion. If only……

Towards the end of the game Des Walker was in the area with a chance to win the game but sadly not to be. Could you just have imagined the scenes if the legend had tucked that away? Would have probably been a pitch invasion with a 5,000 man pile on with Des at the bottom. If only.

 

On a side note what was he doing there in the first place? I thought Des never went past the half way line.

I remember him trying to shoot and falling over, but in my mind it was at the end of a brilliant 60 yard run up the pitch, not from the goalie fumbling the ball out.

Des with a 60 yard run and goal in the last minute. That's what dreams are made of.

Those days will return my friends, you just need to believe.

Don't think I've ever actually proper celebrated a goal in a friendly, other than for the novelty of seeing Des Walker score a goal in Hirsty's testimonial. He came on as sub (he was still playing for the club, think it was the day after a league game) and played up front.
