“I went to see the film with my partner," Kennedy said. "We were messing around on the way back and I said in the car park that I liked how the raptor ran. I asked her to show me her best raptor run! After that I told the lads and I was talking about it at length with George Francomb. We spoke about it before Crawley, but I was not playing. When we scored George did it and we were laughing about it after the game. We said that if we scored again we would do ‘The Raptor’ and that is how it came about.”
