Everton winning the FA Cup was significant to me because they took my lot to about three replays on route, crammed in like sardines to watch the game, would def be illegal these days.
The Venables team that won the cup was a good side. Gazza, Lineker, Mabbutt etc. Edit- they finished tenth.
In response to our lot taking 3,000 cards saying correct not corrupt..........as well as the usual inflatable dinosaurs for Everton game
Coventry winning the FA Cup was one of my favourite- if not my favourite FA Cup Final Keith Houchen (?) the diving header Proper fairy tale stuff that
I remember Nottingham Forest playing Gravesend & Northfleet in a friendly as part of our goalkeeper Lee Smelt’s transfer to Forest. This would have been 1980 just when they were top dogs in Europe.
I forget about Coventry until you mention it, my main memory of them is their fans standing on the hill at Northampton.
Just something special about that final Old Wembley Sunny day What felt like whole days coverage And a diving header in the cup final What’s not to love
Sheff United change manager so the 3rd round may be more of a battle for your lads. my Mrs thinks it’s a bad move to replace him…..
Sunderland stuck in my memory but mainly because of Bob Stokoe in his trilby. Then Southampton, I think it was with Mick Channon in the side. Also in my memory Macolm Macdonalds five goals against Cyprus, just to keep the Toon fans happy, although most of them on here wont have a clue what I'm on about.
They’ve basically replaced him with the older version of himself so doubt the players will even notice.
