At the Keepmoat Stadium

WEEK after week, millions around the globe flock to football grounds to see its magic take place: the magic of the unexpected. 

It is a bizarre phenomenon for a game which, at its heart, never changes. It is the same size pitch, the same size goals, and the same twenty-two players. Yet this simple formula has a unique power to produce the extraordinary, and it did just so on Tuesday evening.

What those in attendance at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium witnessed was a footballing spectacle like no other, a match which will go down in the footballing history books for decades to come.
