Without a win in eight games and with the score at one-one up pops Pedro Mendes to fire in his second pile driver of the match with virtually the final kick of the match to send the Fratton fans beserk. I recall swinging in joy like some demented idiot from a rusty old girder at the back of the South Stand, only to find my hand covered in blood with a cut!
Sam Matterface's radio commentary on Quay Radio has almost become as legendary as the goal itself. Enjoy these 36 seconds of utter brilliance.
