You'll recall I got drenched in champagne at the end of Saturday's play-off final. Here are the brilliant pictures:

Step 1: Enter pitch to conduct interview during celebrations. Hear manager say, "Fetch the champagne," just as the interview starts. Hear unpopping of cork. Feel icy sensation of champagne all over hair, neck, and expensive microphone.

Step 2: Look like a complete gimp while Maidenhead manager swigs from newly-acquired bottle of champagne. Check microphone still working. Try to carry on with interview.

Step 3: Recover composure and give chiselled look to camera, far, far too late to erase memory of gimp look. Maidenhead manager inspects bottle having apparently downed it during course of interview.

With many, many thanks to Nigel Keene, the photographer who captured these images. They'll probably never leave my portfolio (barring the gimp one).
