Picture special - Boothferry Park's last derby

Saturday 2nd November 2002

Peter Taylor's first and Boothferry Park's last Humber derby resulted in City contemptuously dismissing the Inbred Scunts to claim all three points. The Tigers left it late though, they may have dominated proceedings, but it wasn't until the 85th minute that they went ahead, substitute Michael Branch blasting City in front before Gary Alexander wrapped things up in the last minute. Nonetheless, justice prevailed, and while City fans quaffed ale in Three Tuns, the travelling Scunts mulled over defeat, incarcerated in the North Stand while  rain fell upon their unsheltered heads. Hoho.

Justin 'The Sarge' Whittle causes mayhem in the Scunt box. He's nails he is.

Gary Alexander plots another incursion of Scunny territory.

Second half, Jevons fires in a shot...

...Taylor and sub Branch watch transfixed.

Jevons puts in a cross despite the attentions of Andy Dawson.

Scunny's cartwheeling carthorse Peter Beagrie shields the ball...

...but is promptly robbed of the ball by the Ash...

Branch comes off the bench to fire City in front...

...and races to the West Stand for some deserved adoration.

So excited to see City go two up, this chap sheds his clothes in delight...

...but fails to escape pursuing stewards, crashing into hoardings...

 ...while young fans laugh at his penis.

Meanwhile a fully clothed Gary Alexander...

...celebrates his strike with....

...a swan dive before an apoplectic Kempton.

the South Stand cheers the final whistle.
