Dont talk to my Wife about 'great occasion',she came to some of the league games I attended but we had 2 tickets for the Villa Park semi. She did the driving ,took hours to get there ,roadworks rather than the rest of the world looking for tickets to see WFC, got there just before KO,squeezed into the Holte End,she could see very little most of the game and was guided by crowd noise (Plymouth people were louder even tho losing from early on), we had got separated. Dont think I had to hitch hike home !I was there, stared really well and then second half of the second half we were hanging on a bit, but good day out
She did not attend the 1987 Semi at Villa Park again, the game when it looked like Graham Taylor would have to play in goal due to lack of alternatives Her excuse being heavily pregnant....fair weather supporter
