We beat Barnsley 4-0 at the Manor to clinch the second division championship. I remember walking away from the London Road feeling ecstatic only to discover the horror that had unfolded at Valley Parade that afternoon.
The fire that started under the wooden main stand claimed the lives of 56 fans with over 250 injured. When we played there in 2010 I took the time to visit the memorial. Very moving to read through the names and more so to realise how many families suffered multiple losses.
Hard to believe it's 35 years on from that tragedy.
