Just watched this and cried when Vic scored

Some game that one, sandwiched between the two of best games I have ever attended , absolute magic.

 

I was there, glory hunters robbed me of a final ticket

 

Same happened to me for the 1992 final V Liverpool but I managed to get two black market tickets 6pm on the Friday night and drove down to London by 7pm . Ticket was originally from Carlisle United but ended up at Murton somehow but the person selling them couldn’t go due to illness -thankfully . Enjoyed it still , shame about the result !

 

Its the only wembly final in my life I couldnt get a ticket for

 

I was in the Leppings Lane end with the Arsenal fans, they were quite quiet that day

 

Shame that , you must have been to a hell of a lot of Wembley disappointments over the years until the last two appearances with the amount of games we lost on the trot .

 

Great video.

Vic getting booked there for 'violence of the tongue, as they call it.'

 

That made me laugh

 

I was at every home game that season, we had gates of 13,000, I hate the bastards who jumped on the glorytrain

 

Bit confused Wayne was it the 73 final or the 92 final you missed out on ?

 

73

 

Jimmy Hill hated us back then. No credit whatsoever, it was all poor Jeff Blockley's fault!!

 

was that you jumping about at the front?

 

Never seen that before. Thanks mate.
Love the commentary at the FT whistle all about the football passion of the north east being ignited by us!,

 

If l remember correct we even went as low as 11thou. several games.
Ever present me & brother-i-L. Clockstand on half-way line standing on crackets to see over the the heads of the ‘crowd’
KTF

 

That was before John Hall split it, the horrible ****

 

Me too, Ray Kennedy stood alongside me in the queue while chatting away to the Sunderland supporters in front, they must have thought he was with me . .

 

I used to stand on a cracket in the Fulwell end paddock next to the tunnel with my dad and four brothers.
When I got tall enough the cracket was passed down to my younger brother.
Great times being that close to the players.

 

Hands up I bought a couple of half price season tickets over Xmas hols that year and hit the jackpot, great seats for Man City, Arsenal and of course the Final at Wembley.
