38 years ago today we won the F.A. cup.
What a day, up there after my wedding and birth of my daughter (had to put that to keep the peace) got back to Cov pissed as a fart at 9pm, and went Into the City Centre.
What a night, great times, unforgettable!

These occasion are why we support the club through thick and thin.

Jeez. 38 years. How is that possible. I still think Gynn should have taken one of his chances and saved me huge amounts of stress! What a day.

38 years ago today Sky Blue Harry H nicked some beer glasses from a pub and donated them to another pub. Am I right?

One of best days of my life. Remember it vividly. Was a kid with my dad and his mates (one of whom had a page 3 stunner daughter which even pre puberty had me horny sat next to her in the cortina on way down but I digress) and just remember the walk up Wembley way the flags the smell of burgers and hotdogs the songs the trepidation when Allen scored after 2 mins thinking we could get a tonking, the elation when Benno scored, the thinking it was all over when Killer scored the OG but by then i was so proud of how we had played inwas still enjoying myself and excited then the total delirium when Houchen scored that Goal only to then have an out of body experience when Mabbut did his think after ooh arrr Lloydy tried putting that cross in that looped over Clemences head where I seem to have grown taller than my dad and was rubbing his bald head as it was looping in. Utter dream land. Then the celebrations afterwards and leaving the ground and all the sheer joyousness of fans and hours later going back in said Cortina falling asleep on my dad's mates page 3 daughters chest.
Remember all the people on bridges cheering us back on the motorway and it seemed they had come miles out to do it, and remember finally going home and my mum had made the most wonderful meal and decorations and cakes to carry the party on and her lifting me up into her arms when back. Such happy memories. Sadly now she is in advanced stages of alzhiemers and doesn't understand anything but strangely still smiles whenever the lads are on TV and stumbles go for it so somewhere in her head there must be etched that amazing day as it had such a profound impact for many of us.
I'm still more pissed off about last season being robbed at Wembley than the last minute goal on Tuesday. The Fa Cup still means the world to me for all of the above and I honestly feel we would have won it last year but for that disgraceful decision as more than a few Man City players by all accounts were still recovering from excessive partying after winning the league, which I think is why Grealish got frozen out this year.

Unbelievable day, a day that will live in my memory for ever.



Now tell us more about that page 3 girl

 

[Bad Boy]

Dark long straight brown hair. A cracking pair of mammary glands perfectly naturally formed with no silicon. She was wearing the cup final shirt and smelt lush. Ocean coloured blue eyes. She wore levi 500 jeans and her buttocks were like a peach. I think she fell asleep before me and I may have a bit cheekily sort of snuggled up to her to get some shut eye and sort of ended up nestling my head in her cleavage area., it just seemed so comfortable looking.
Writing this I seem to have found a way to save some hard earned on blue tablets....

Wow beats my experiences of that day.

Christ on a fucking bike.

That reads like it was written by someone who's proper creepy. You're not on any lists, are you?

All I took from that was ‘the smell of her burger…’

 

[Bad Boy]

Hadn't got to Rugby this time 38 years ago.
Overhead power line issue on our train and was beginning to wonder if we were going to make it to Wembley in time.
We all had to disembark from our carriages and walk track side to the front of the train to enable the train to proceed.

 

[Shannerz]

Mate I was 10 at the time!!!

You weren't when you wrote that.

 

[skybluecb]

I was there, sat on half way line opposite royal box, i was 12 years old. best day supporting city ever. The bridges on M1 coming home full off people cheering us and then when we got nearer to Cov crazy scenes, a day I will never forget

I missed all that, got the 9 o'clock train from Cov, it pays to be early.

Went on the train from Coventry station. Remember queuing up for ages in cattle sheds, doubt they are there now. Three of us went down, I was the only one with a ticket.

As the years go by I remember less and less of the day, but some memories are still vivid. The guy next to me saying "we're going to lose 6-0!" after Clive Allen scored.

The other thing that I really remember were the size of the terracing steps. They were massive.

That evening I went to Oasis along the A45 at Stretton and had a cigar. My one and only experience of smoking.

Fantastic day out will always remember it
