That was the play coach drew up and we ran it to perfection as a team. Everybody did their part.

We probably didn't realize (we had won) until it hit us in the fourth quarter. Coach started telling us during to timeouts to look around and let it sink in and just cherish the moment. That's when we realized we were going to win.

We rely more on each other. They came out pretty good, but we came out strong too and worked through some adversity.

You never like the idea of a loser-out game, but it does put more urgency in your play. We lost our composure at times, but for the most part, we held it together.

We just play the sit-down-and-talk game.

I have a 100 individual memories of the beauty of John's play. One stands out for the sheer perfection of his skill. It was a charity match which, but for that one second, has faded completely from my memory. The ball came to him at speed on a wet, slippery surface but with the slightest of adjustments, one that was almost imperceptible, he played it inside a full-back and into the path of an on-running winger. I looked at our coach Dave Sexton on the bench and he caught my glance and shook his head as if to say 'fantastic'. Haynes could give you goose bumps on a wet night in a match that didn't matter.
