Finshed 3rd in Conference South (77 pts). Strolled through the playoff semi with a 4-0 aggregate win over Gloucester. A highly eventful final saw me take the lead twice before eventually surrendering a place in the Conference 3-2. Another season in the Conference South, but plenty of promise.

Forgot to add that Spain won the 2006 World Cup, beating France in the final.
