Can't beat Jeff. I went to all the home games (and Wembley), but didn't get to either of the away games. Watched the highlights of the Birmingham away semi-final on BBC without knowing the score - amazing!

As a 12-year-old kid, I remember being in awe of the fact that they had World Cup hero Banks in goal, and couldn't see how we could score 1, never mind 4. I've been trying without success to find a video of the game, but my memory is of Les Allen chipping Banks from the edge of the area with the ball hitting the bar and rebounding into the net off the goalie.
it would be great if someone could get hold of the highlights of the 1st leg. Barry Bridges got their goal I think
