(Sunday 8th April 2001)
Martin Taylor:
"It's a strange sort of emotion for us because we've done ourselves
proud and played fantastically but there's a lot of disappointment because at
the end of the day we've lost.It was quite a start for me. It's always nice to get an early touch but there I was with one of the world's greatest strikers running in at me and fortunately I managed to stop him" Roy Essandoh "It was lovely to experience it and I'm going home with Sammy Hyypia's shirt which is something to remember this by. Martin Taylor was terrific - his save from Michael Owen was just incredible and kept us in it when the last thing we needed was to concede an early goal." Ben Townsend "It's really disappointing. I was really choked at the end. It was special occasion and to get beaten so late on makes it worse"  Jason
Cousins "The supporters were phenomenal. They were like a 12th
player for us and they kept us going when we needed them to. When we came out
and all you could see at the end of the ground was blue it made the hairs on
the back of your neck stand up"Cousins grabbed Robbie Fowlers shirt at the end of the game and added "Robbie Fowler was walking about in a Jason Cousins shirt at the end. I'm sure that will end up in the bin but I'll treasure the one he gave me."  Keith Ryan: "Yes it's disappointing. We've just lost a game
of football and not only that, it's in the semi-final of the FA Cup. But when
we sit down and reflect on the game we've got a lot to be proud of"Club stalwart Ryan scored the goal that gave Wycombe a brief hope of another dramatic FA Cup comeback "It may have been a bit 'too little too late'. Perhaps if we had got it a little bit earlier we could have made an exciting end to it. It gave our fans a little bit of cheer for one minute and I'm thankful I was able to score the goal to be honest"  Steve Brown:
"The fans have been great today.
That sea of blue at the Holte End is not a familiar site we see every
week." Brown has been thrown into national media spotlight following
his shirt antics at Filbert Street. Writing in his regular column in the Bucks
Free Press he said "I've loved the whole cup run. I was amazed at how
big the story of my son Maxwell became. I had so many people offering me money
for interviews and I gave it to the hospital where he was treated." Brown says for the first time in years that he won't be watching the Cup Final on TV as it would "too raw and if I watched it I'd just be thinking what might have been" But 'Brownie' has accepted all the positive aspects brought from the roller coaster ride to the semi-final with Liverpool "A lot of good has come from this cup run. It is such a shame that it has to come to an end" Back to Semi-Final special >>> |
