Fantastic day out - one of the last games I attended with my dad (he is now in his 80's) and not very well and struggles to remember events in his life, but I would not have missed all those fantastic times with him and the 100's of games we saw together.

Grealish, Delph and Benteke were superb that afternoon.

And they've hated us ever since. Fook sake, we didn't even mention 'Slippy Gee'.
