Proudest moment

May 1998 & the look on my then 10 year old sons face as the final whistle blew, compared to the look on his face as an 8 year old after the 1996 5-1 defeat.

February 3rd 2000 Parkhead - one of my best mates died suddenly the day before the match(he was a big Jambo as well) & his wife insisted that I go to Parkhead, we came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
