    A famous fixture on the way to our last FA cup final appearance!


    You could hang-glide in that Watford kit.

    For totally selfish reasons, I'm happy with that. A winnable away draw, at the end of the Metropolitan line so I can be home by tea time.

    Start Beattie and Ormerod imo.

    My fault we drew Watford.
    As soon as they were drawn out I thought “yeah we could beat them” and then ….

    FA cup semis being moved to Wembley killed them off a bit for me.

    Agree. Happened once when Spurs drew Arsenal ….if I recall correctly…and then enforced thereafter. Ruined the specialness of the final at Wembley.

    That the one where Gazza scored the free kick?

    They went back to neutral while at Cardiff but once new Wembley was built it was reverted to help pay for it. Agree though that it ruins the occasion a bit.

    Any chance of any film from the 2nd leg of a certain Cup match in Sept 1980 ? ....and any chance of a repeat in a couple of weeks time ??
