It was the end of April 2008 & we were playing away to Cowfold who were the only team to stop us from winning the league.
When we got to the stadium i noticed DJ being a bit twitchy, he looked nervous & harrassed but i just thought he'd been out the night before (with Wazza probably)!
The Cowfold players were already out on the pitch & they looked well up for it so i think that may of added to DJ's twitching ring-piece!
To cut a long story short (believe me i could make this very long)DJ let his nerves get the better of him & he got sent off for what i believe was dissent towards the referee. Because he knew it was probably going to cost us the premiership title he snatched the red card from ref's outstretched arm & tried to rip the red card up but he couldn’t (weak) as it was heavily laminated.
Luckily the team wanted to win this league for Jez, assistant Lee Mac & for DJ so we worked together & after a great leaping header from Tucks which was going wide, Rocket (me) stabbed the ball home with my head/gums to grab a late winner to bring the title back to Newtown Villa Social Club!!
As the final whistle went DJ was still in the changing room & didn't know that we had nicked a goal and then held on to win the league
The funny thing about that was he didn't have to stay in the changing room as we weren't actually playing to win the Barclays Premiership, Serie A or La Liga so he could of just watched the rest of the game from the sidelines
DJ - Looking forward to seeing you back playing at Newtown Villa soon mate.
