Chris Willsden -- winning at Wembley was the best day of my life

Trophy memories of a Darlo fan

Chris Willsden flew to Wembley from Texas for the 2011 Trophy final, and sent us his memories:

Brilliant day.

l flew in from Texas for my 3rd trip to Wembley to see Darlo.

Full of trepidation after being the better team on both previous games 0-0...

Oh please not penalties... You knew we were going to lose those ?

Being a Darlo fan since 1957 I was used to losing.

Then Sir Chris Senior hit the back of the net.

I am still embarrassed that all I could shout was... WE HAVE SCORED, WE HAVE SCORED, WE HAVE SCORED...

Hardly Shakespeare ...but you know what

WE HAD SCORED... At Wembley...yes Wembley.

You know what ... it was the WINNER.
