CARLISLE UNITED

Lee Rooney, host of Blues podcast The Brunton Bugle, recalls play-off heartbreak and that Jimmy Glass goal

- 

XI

BEST: Keiren Westwood, Rory Delap, Dean Walling, Jon Mellish, Danny Grainger, Rod Thomas, Callum Guy, Paul Conway, Francois Zoko, Michael Bridges, Jabo Ibehre.

WORST: Shamal George, Christie Elliott, Mike Edwards, Harry Worley, Shaun Smith, Mark Rivers, Alex Marrow, Canice Carroll, Tyrese Omotoye, Elias Sorensen, Richard Offiong.

PLAYER

B: Michael Bridges was a genius who elevated a top-seven side to runaway champions in 2005-06 - the equivalent of Peter Beardsley in the early '80s.

W: For someone who came in with so much hype from Newcastle, Elias Sorensen was complete dross.

MOMENT

B: I mean, I can't really say anything other than the Jimmy Glass goal, can I? The elation as the ball hit the back of the net... it will never be repeated.

W: Jonny Howson's last-minute goal for Leeds in the 2008 League One Playoff Semifinals. A dagger in the heart and the nearest we've got to getting back to the second tier in the last 40 years.
