MICKY OGIER’S four-year reign at Bels ended in glorious fashion under the Corbet Field lights.
And there was a hint of a tear in his eye as he thanked his players for the remarkable transformation which saw them turn a 2-0 deficit after just 22 minutes into a win that could have been wider such was their defiant turnaround.
‘They’ve got a bit of steel about them those lads,’ he said, in a quick break from the celebrations.
But how could he explain such a change in a game which they would have surely lost had Matt Warren tucked away a golden chance with Saints two up and seemingly strolling?
‘We went out and played 3-5-2 and it didn’t work,’ admitted the retiring boss.
‘Rihoy came over and had a moan about changing it and we did.’
It was certainly one of the better FA Cup finals and the tightness of the Corbet Field played its part in creating a decent atmosphere.
