The last time I was at molineux we had to draw or win to do the double.On the previous Sat we had beaten Arsenal in the cup Spitefully the football league made us play on the Monday night I had bought 6 tickets for the game at 12/6p each 7 of us went so I gave all my tickets away and went looking to buy another one for myself.I tried bribing the turnstile man no luck and as my friends were going into their enclosure the lady infront of me said she had a spare ticket and gave me it. When I looked it was next to my 6! Before the game on the Sunday the people printed a story that Revie had tried through O'grady to bribe the Wolves players to lose naturally all eyes were now focused on the performance of them In the first minute Bernard Shaw fisted the ball for a corner the referee Gow waved the penalty appeal away and gave us a rner instead .It was the most blatant hand ball I have ever seen .We dominated the game but having Yorath as a make shift centre forward didn't help matters as Jones was injured at Wembley After 90 minutes we were losing 2-1 but for some reason Gow played over 10 minutes extra time but to no avail the lads were exhausted and Derby won the champiuonship
I quite like Mowatt. He has a lot to learn and is far from perfect but them ****ing shots are going to be one of the few things to remember from this season. I've said it a few times but he reminds of Lampard when he was young. I'm not saying he will at all turn out that way don't get me wrong.
I remember where I was when that result came through, devestated as a 12 year old. That year Esso ran an FA Cup centenary promo where you collected football coins with your petrol for all previous winners and stuck them into a card. There was no Leeds one till after the final, when it was gold-coloured and larger than all the others. Rightly so.
Tonight's team Silvestri, Wootton, Bellusci, Cooper, Taylor, Byram, Cook, Adeyemi, Bridcutt, Dallas, Wood.
