'I've been talking to one of the directors, and they'd very much like to see me there for a home game,' Farage told ITV News. 'If I can make it, I will.'

What made it all the more special was that 18 months earlier, I looked to be on my way out of the club when Paolo Di Canio was there. He'd banished me and one or two others from the training ground. Don't get me wrong, some of his coaching sessions were enjoyable but there are ways and means of managing experienced pros and some of his man-management left a lot to be desired.

But what has lived on that day is not the Dutchman's performance in the win, but his celebration following Gyan's goal, as Zenden unleashed a bona fide 'dad dance' next to the fleet-footed Ghanaian.
