Where you were 26 years ago today? I was here:

TheRoyalScam · May 16, 2013

You were in the goal?

I was behind that goal with my brother-in-law and a sea of sky blue flags!

singers_pore · May 16, 2013

I was also behind that goal about half way up the upper standing area. I've only been to Wembley twice - both times to watch Cov.

torchomatic · May 16, 2013

As you look at the picture I was top right , in the corner, way up. It was a brilliant view.

ajsccfc · May 16, 2013

I was playing football in the street, as there were absolutely no cars driving around so we got a magic game in.

torchomatic · May 16, 2013

I've been twice to watch football, just when we played and once to watch American Football. Anyone remember the London Monarchs?

Too young to go by myself, Dad didn't want to go so watched it on the telly with my Mum.

The weather's similar today. Cup finals aren't the same if they're played at dusk.

torchomatic · May 16, 2013

I love Chris Hughton's face on that picture.

Otis · May 16, 2013

I was in the Royal Box.

The Queen didn't feel a thing.

Actually, directly opposite the Royal Box, smack bang on the half way line.

torchomatic · May 16, 2013

Wow, must have been a good view. Were you sitting?

It might be a day for the DVD

Skybluechick · May 16, 2013

I was on tour with the wonderstuff n pop will eat itself, 2 indi bands and some of em supported villa and they all had cov tops on (I wudnt hav worn a villa one if they got thru which was the deal!) n we watched it in a hotel bar great times gutted I wasn't their tho had a great gig that night was plastered

Snouty72 · May 16, 2013

Was sat near the half way line lower tier, opposite royal box. A mix of sky blue and spurs fans. Origionally had tickets to stand in spurs end but didnt realise until we got to stadium so swapped them with some spurs fans. Still gives me goosebumps... Oh happy days!

skybluelee · May 16, 2013

I was next to the left wing corner flag of the end we were attacking in the 2nd half. Wish I had been older than 11 so that I could have properly appreciated the size of our achievement.

At 10:03 our train would have been getting close to Waterloo.

ajsccfc · May 16, 2013

Well Mr. Poynton done it
The Sky Blues had won it
With John Sillett clucking all the while
Mabbutt's interception made us smile
While Killer lay unconscious on the barroom tile

We're talkin' football
From Southampton to Lymm
Talkin' football
Phillips and Micky Gynn
Dave Bennett's grotesquely swollen jaw
Greg Downs and his run-in with the law
We're talkin' Houchen... Oggy and McGrath

Yep.

Fantastic view.

Will we ever see a day like that again you think? :thinking about:

I severely hope so, I was just a toddler at the time and now I'm one of the older Sky Blues!!!

And me, good view especially of Houchens goal.

Hope you werent as close to the pissed up Spurs fans in the block as I was. Still after hearing them yawping on all game, it was great to see them leave after Mabbutts og (yes they left before the end) and ven funnier to see one fall down the steps like a muppet.

Two bands I remember well, and saw them both live.
Were you touring with them and playing? or working on the tour crew?

Torch, great thread to start to take our mind off current situation. Since '87 I've got married, had three kids, lived abroad and dobne all sorts of things but seeing us win at Wembley and then that night back in Cov is still the happiest day of my life!

I was behind the goal half way up on the right. I went with my Dad and 4 relatives, 3 have passed away since then. That was the greatest day of my life, as it was for many of you I am sure.

Seriously?

sw88 · May 16, 2013

I wasn't even thought of!

Makes me wonder if I'm the reason for CCFC's downfall

I also think I was the result of this victory, but I try to erase these thoughts from my mind......
