Doogie's Baby Delight
Posted on: Thu 01 May 2008
The lead-up to the Stoke City game was one with a difference for captain Karl Duguid - and not only because of the end of Layer Road.
Doogie's wife Gemma gave birth to a baby daughter just hours before the kick-off against Stoke City.
And he told the East Anglian Daily Times: "I've basically been up for the last 38 hours, without any sleep.
"It was a long labour, and there were complications, so in the end Gemma had a cesarean at 2.20pm on Friday. Otherwise, I would still probably be at the hospital and would have missed the game!
"It's been an emotional last few days for me. I have some great memories of playing at Layer Road, but it's now time for the club to move on.
"It's a great privilege to be the captain of such a great club, and I've enjoyed two promotions since I've been playing. Now we're all looking forward to moving to the new ground."
