The N.Ireland v England football match (Sept 2005) was a night I will never forget. I was delighted when my dad told me he had been able to get two tickets. I was excited about going to the match, mainly because I couldn't wait to see the famous players like David Beckham, Ashley Cole, Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard. I didn't want to see Wayne Rooney though, as I think he has a bad attitude.

Northern Ireland, being the underdogs, were not expected to do very well in this game, which was part of the World Cup qualifiers.

The crowd were delighted when the home team played very well, but when David Healy scored what turned out to be the winning goal, the packed stadium erupted.

My dad and I jumped for joy, as did every Northern Ireland supporter. It was one of the best moments of my life. When the final whistle blew we all stood cheering and singing for about 15 minutes and the Northern Ireland team did a lap of honour.
