That’s some finish.
From watching this I would of said my favourite player back in the day would be Micky Gynn

The story I heard is that as it was a new kit design they'd be shipped in boxes. At one point the youth team were going to wear the same shirt in an end of season tournament so some were supplied without sponsors (as it was a beer). The plan then changed and the youth team wore their existing shirts so when they got sent off to have FA Cup Final embroidered on them the hitman sent the whole lot and they all got mixed in together.Never noticed before, but how come Spurs are missing sponsors on half their kits?
Everyone used to sing it back then (and beyond)Wtf, YNWA???
The foul was Houchen pushed the defender for the flick on just before the goal.never a push
see officials haven’t changed since lockdown!
See you in the Sky Blue fountain outside the Belgrade Theatre in 10 mins :emoji_thumbsup:C'mon - everyone down town!
I never did it on 16th May 1987 - But the town of Iserlohn (then) West Germany got to know about Coventry, if they didn't already.See you in the Sky Blue fountain outside the Belgrade Theatre in 10 mins :emoji_thumbsup:
Vomit inducing - watching Newbon sucking up to the City group on the eve of the game. That twat, Bob Hall used to speak in disparaging terms about us too.Can’t believe we’ve not made it to headline news!
ITV making something called ‘CoronaVirus’ their headline subject? Madness! They’ve never liked us! :emoji_angry:
Has anyone else convinced their young kids that we've just won the FA Cup for real today , and that they should start supporting us instead of Liverpool?
If I remember rightly the bbc cut to st. Mirren fans going wild as the team did a lap of honour. Didn’t Jimmy Hill give a personal congratulations to the team as well?Looking forward to the game against St Mirren being on next.
It's like watching a different game in many ways, ball up to the big man who takes it on his chest or knocks off to a nearby team mate as the defenders stand off
Got the programme, never went to the game. Feel I should take my share of the blame if that's the real reason for no second leg. Makes for an interesting piece of sporting 'Babylon' tho.I’m just reading up now on the St.Mirren Anglo Scottish game. It says it was cancelled because of a poor attendance. Was anyone there and what was the attendance?
You can tell oggy coached burge
true but many runners up -which is not far offWith the money in the game it looks nigh on impossible for a club like us to win a major trophy again or establish ourselves in the Premier League
It’s only been won three times since by an unfashionable club

The players seem to have so much time and space, is like the pitch is 5 times bigger
I’m just reading up now on the St.Mirren Anglo Scottish game. It says it was cancelled because of a poor attendance. Was anyone there and what was the attendance, was it a low attendance in protest because we weren’t allowed to play in Europe or because just no one was interested?
Same kit man that forgot the away kit for the game at HR earlier in the season!?!!???The story I heard is that as it was a new kit design they'd be shipped in boxes.

I was there in the Main Stand for the St. Mirren game and it was all a bit surreal. Low attendance and felt more like a pre-season type game.
Talking of the Cup season: One game that should get more of a mention on here (in terms of the best atmosphere at HR; was the opening game of the new season against Spurs) after we won the Cup. The atmosphere at the start of that game as the teams walked on was absolutely electric.
I was watching an interview with Kilkline, Houchen and Benno on youtube a couple of weeks back, and their view was that our FA Cup team was young and should not have been broken up. I think that's a view also shared by Sillett - for all of Speedie's brilliance he was very disruptive in the dressing room and near unmanageable. Adding a top class left back to the Cup Final team was probably the only immediate change required.
Agree 100% I don’t think Regis and Houchen played together again after the Final, chalk and cheese as players but their partnership worked. A new top class left back was all we needed at the time, remember two of our best players Borrows and Emerson didn’t play and Phillips a midfield regular was out of position.I was there in the Main Stand for the St. Mirren game and it was all a bit surreal.
