Did you know anything about Shane Ferguson before last night? He walked on the field at Stafford Bridge looking like the kid in the Hovis adverts years ago. The Northern Ireland teenager put in a magnificent display against the mighty West London Premiership champions, and suddenly EVERY Toon fan knows about the 19-year-old. Shane Ferguson: “It’s the best experience of my life. “I only found out on Tuesday I was starting. “I was just so happy – it’s the best feeling ever. “For the first Peter (Lovenkrands) made a good run, and I just picked him out. Nile (Ranger) was at the back post at the right time, and put it in the back of the net. “The second I just won the corner and we scored from it, it was a great feeling. “I was so nervous. “The experienced lads were brilliant – it was just a fantastic day. “This year’s been brilliant, just being involved with the first team and training with them every day’s been a bonus. “The gaffer has been fantastic. “Everyone’s so happy. “We had plenty of chances and could have scored more, but we did the job. “Shola was fantastic – his workrate and finishing was superb. So was everyone. “My family weren’t there – they watched the highlights on TV. “I got all the texts congratulating me after the game.”
