Kidderminster Harriers super-sub Jamille Matt saluted the club's supporters for a surreal Saturday that saw him score - after the referee made him remove his underwear.
Kidderminster Harriers super-sub Jamille Matt saluted the club's supporters for a surreal Saturday that saw him score - after the referee made him remove his underwear.
Both of the goalscorers at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday, Matt and loan striker Sean Canham, were made to change their underwear by John Hopkins after the referee noticed the items of clothing were not the same colour as their team shorts.
But it didn't knock Matt out of his stride, with manager Steve Burr's decision to send on the forward for Canham paying dividends with a second-half goal that proved too much for the Dons to come back from, Harriers running out 2-1 winners.
Burr's men are now five points clear in the last play-off place going into a two-week break from action and remain undefeated this year.
And Matt believes the supporters have played their part in the team's promotion surge, after marching over to celebrate with the visiting supporters following the goal on Saturday.
He said: "The support is always fantastic. As soon as I scored, the first thing in my mind was to go and celebrate with the fans because they always follow us everywhere.
"They have been fantastic all season."
Harriers today officially put on sale their season tickets for next season - at Blue Square Premier prices.
The club are also freezing prices until April 23 and are hoping to get in excess of 1,000 to become season ticket holders for 2011/12.
The team could well be in the Football League by then, as an unbeaten 2011 so far has left them firmly in the play-off places.
