Bellamy 'It was special'

Last updated : 07 February 2011 By Michael Morris

Craig Bellamy's strike to win the derby against Swansea will be long remembered by the City faithful. But it wil also be long remembered by the player himself

"It was special," Bellamy told Cardiff City Player. "Late stages of a derby - they`re special, special moments. I`ve been very fortunate in my career that this seems to happen to me in derbies."

The goal also meant Cardiff avoided headlining an unwanted chapter in the 82-year history books following Swansea`s 1-0 victory at the Cardiff City Stadium in November.

But Bellamy added: "I don`t feel anyone talked about that. We knew it was a big game because we wanted three points as well. We knew it because of Forest winning again and QPR winning again. I`m sure Swansea were thinking the same, both teams knew we needed the three points.

"But when it comes to the derby doubles - that will happen in the next few years. I`ll tell you that now - one team will beat each other twice so it`s only a matter of time before that happens."
