Stu's still got it, from the sounds of things!

Good to know we have another emergency backup we can rely on...

Wondering what the crowd was. I suppose it wasn't needed to be assessed. Anyway, many bought tickets even if they couldn't attend so it would be extremely difficult.

Thanks Harold. Pretty decent turn out that.

... And over four times the crowd on his debut vs vauxhall motors! 😉

I think my abiding memory of Dens flying through the air to score with a diving header at the Golf Road End will stick with me forever. Someone with a better memory than me will recall the date and opposition no doubt. There was a great framed picture of him in mid flight in the NWS capturing the moment to prove it actually happened and it wasn’t a dream. There’s an extensive list of premiership footballers who wouldn’t be capable of scoring that goal.

I suspect that the game to which you refer was the 2-2 draw against Grimsby Town on Saturday, 25th September 2010.

Alas, I've been unable to locate a link to that photograph of Shaun Densmore's dramatic last-minute equaliser.

I did stumble upon this image of the young Densmore though!

I think the pic you're referring to is the one just before the closing credits on the latest YouTube film on the testimonial?

Yep, that's the one! The keeper was Grimsby's too. Young's sponsored them I recall.
