    League Cup final: The greatest upset ever?
    Play mediaQPR 3-2 West Brom
    Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.


    Watch highlights of the 1967 League Cup final, when third division QPR came back from 2-0 down to beat top-flight side West Bromwich Albion 3-2.

    In the first League Cup final held at Wembley, second-half goals from Roger Morgan, Rodney Marsh and Mark Lazarus gave Rangers a famous victory over the holders.

    This year's final sees another David v Goliath clash, when League Two side Bradford face Premier League opponents Swansea on Sunday.

    Nice one Northy. Not seen this for a few years. Saw the semis but was stationed in Germany and couldn't get back for the final. Still got the scrapbook I made of press cuttings and cartoons.

    Still got the programme (slightly dog-eared now and held together with sellotape) as well as the semi one against Brum.....My late father had tears of joy running down his face at the end......

    To think it is now almost 46 years ago and still our finest day....
