Derry was exceptional in the final.

Think we lost at home to Crewe in December having just sold Mullins (who was one of our best players) to West Ham thinking what a slog the remainder of the season was going to be. The turnaround in January was crazy, scoring goals for fun and winning 5 in a row.
It was Easter Weekend that it felt like it would be our year. We beat Cardiff away on the Easter Saturday, and then we narrowly beat West Ham 3 days later on the Easter Monday. As cpfc4evandeva said in an earlier post it almost felt like it was meant to be. Even when we were two down at Coventry, I was still confident we'd make the play offs, really good memories.
We met some Hammers fans at a service station on route to Cardiff in a limo drinking champagne and smoking cigars (this must have been 10am) and their arrogance was something else.

The iconic image from their defeat
