Hi all, been meaning to post this on TEF for ages, for those not so familiar with twitter. 20 years ago, when I was 15-16 years old, I was the most dedicated scrapbooker of all things STFC. On this thread of tweets that I've been updating since August, I'm bringing you the story of the 03/04 season in scrapbook form, through the eyes of a Year 11 student! Enjoy! https://twitter.com/dphunt88/status/1689664186115125248?t=F8imMLSz311YbQ24kJ0j1Q&s=19(My twitter is account is public, so hopefully for non-twitter users, you'll still be able to scroll down and see the entire thread)

This was my first season supporting STFC, aged 8. Got bought a half season ticket for Christmas and got the bug from that point on!! Had a season ticket ever since. Memory is certainly a bit blurry for this year but can clearly remember Fallon's overhead kick against City and how hot it was in the playoff game at home.

I had a couple of folders with all the match reports from the Adver & the WDP for the 92/93 & 93/94 seasons.
I’ve given them to the OSC so hopefully they will turn up in the museum at some point.

A fantastic season, one of my favourites during my time working for the club.
Some brilliant games with some quality players - so many magic moments as a fan.
Some random signings too - Sebastien Ruster (legal wrangle, popular in Old Town), Ben Martin (one app away at Boston in the LDV) and the loan signing of a (recovering from injury) Eddie Howe - who never played a game.

Been enjoying the updates. Had a ST in the TE back then and the atmosphere used to be great at times. Don't think I saw us lose a game all season until the home leg of the play-offs, but may be remembering incorrectly. Took in quite a few away games that year too - Blackpool sticks in the momery for the Wellens red card, Stockport we did our best to throw away a 3-0 lead, and Plymouth had the Rhys Evans o.g. from an indirect free kick. I was there for the FA Cup battering at Wycombe. Sebastien Ruster was brought on to change the game at 2-1 down and we quickly conceded two further goals. Had totally forgotten they had Frank Talia in goal that day. Frank would go on to cut off his toe with a lawnmower at the end of that season. "I was trying to cut my toenails with a lawn mower and discovered it doesn't work," he joked after leaving the hospital. https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2004/05/20/Soccers-Talia-slashes-toe-with-lawnmower/47441085070955/

I still haven’t got over that season. Brighton cunts. Still hurts to see them now as an established top half premier league team. Dickhead smug fanbase & cunts.
Did I mention I think they are cunts?
…it’s weird, you look back at that squad and it’s really not that good in defence or midfield. Mooney & Parkin definitely did the heavy lifting that season.

It was a simple style of football with a few players who could score goals. Mooney and Parkin up top, Fallon effective off the bench, then Igoe, Howard and Migz all chipped in... and Gurney got 8!!
