Was right behind the goal and no one saw him make the save. There was just Lorimer looking as though on the goal line and blasting the ball. Monty was down and out. Honestly all the people round me were convinced the ball had hit a stantion at the back of the net and come out and the ref had missed it...all were a bit puzzled when Bob ran straight to Monty at the end cos thanks to Dave Watson he seemed to have had a quiet afternoon despite the second half pressure

Watson was immense that game, what a player
 


It's been on BBC Red Button (Freeview 601) as 'FA Cup Rewind' all week.

The other final on is Coventry in 87. I had completely forgotten how lucky Nick Pickering was to leave us in 86 for a nothing Div One club and end up with an FA Cup Winners medal a year later.

I was one of the 100 or so at Notts County away in the 3rd round. Managed to get a Luton (6th round ) ticket by begging the club & reminding them I was a Roker Bingo seller, nr Leeds. Semi ticket paid £3 to a tout for one in the Arsenal End (Leppings Lane) & paid £4 for my Wemberley ticket off a Leeds fan I knew ( for their end). Can't remember what the face values were?

I was 15, so lucky cos been going to games only a year ( worked before school & every neet to get my train fare from Wakey). Mates at school were all Supa Leeds of course so had the piss took for a year, until ....... ;)
 
One of my first and most enduring childhood memories is the build up to the '73 cup final,the match itself,and the euphoria in the time after that great victory.

My Dad and Uncles were all at the game,while the rest of the family huddled round our black and white tv in the front room;Nana,Mam,Aunts and all. I still have the program and rosettes they brought back for me to this day and although I was only 6 years old I remember everything about that time.

This is what this club means to people:I hope they sort this mess that we find ourselves in out,and create some new memories our great new generation of fans deserve.

Likewise. Couldnt get a ticket for the final after being a regular all season.

Obviously disappointed not to go, but have great memories of the day at home
 
Its disgusting the way they have run down the competition[/QUOTE]

Sky, foreign managers, and european competitions, to blame?
 
That and Arsenal V Liverpool are my favourite non Everton finals,the first two I ever remember watching,the whole country must have been supporting Sunderland that day
