Ahead of RangersFC match, NUFC cult hero Peter Lovenkrands remembers special St James' Park moment NUFC
“I was down there when I lost my dad.
“It was halfway through the season when we were in the Championship, going neck and neck with West Brom for the title. He died just two days before a big top-of-the-table game against West Brom. I decided to play in the game and actually scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw. “The roar that came when the ball hit the net, well I’ve never heard a noise like it. When they said my name over the Tannoy, it was like they could share in my pain out on the pitch.
“It was tough but I’m just so glad I did play that night and grateful for the fact I now have that bond with those fantastic supporters. “That’s why Tuesday night will be difficult for me – it’s my two favourite clubs playing against each other!winning trophies. That also lives with you forever and the bond I have with Rangers is just as special. It will be a weird one watching on Tuesday, I’m just glad it’s a friendly!”
