Exactly this, I could have wrote this myself.....feel very old!
Apologies if SEB but cannot see a thread on it.
Ashurst should never have dropped Colin West, Corner's mistake and Walker's missed penalty.
A great cup run though, can still remember the excitement and nerves at school like yesterday on the day of the Forest game at RP...and the replay at WHL was an absolute classic, Chris Turner was outstanding.
Great memories as a 13 yr old kid and had the privilege of not just being at Wembley but also to see it full, 100k plus with terracing at either end...awesome.
Same here mate. Was absolutely f***ing gutted at end. Played poorly .First and (strangely) last time a Sunderland game made me cry, though even as a kid it was mostly tears of frustration
I met Arsehurts several times and can confirm that he was instantly dis-likable . He is one of those tossers who thinks he has money because he's super intelligent, not because he could kick a ball about . Fancied himself as an antique dealer but he didn't have the brains for that . Dropping West was so stupid . We would have won if he'd played . Let's face it Narch were shit anal .Every player Ashurst signed got on the pitch that day. That team was selected with one eye on the SAFC history books. For the sake of his ego he lost the players, crowd, board and his job. Madness.
Went to Palace A, Forest H, Spurs H&A, Watford A, Chelsea H&A, Final. Pickerings arse in is up there with the beach ball goal for me. Gayles v Forest would’ve hurt a few in the crowd if the net hadn’t stopped it, Turner and Hodgson v Spurs away were as good a two performances as I’ve seen from safc players ever. Chelsea aways been done dozens of times on here. No memory of Palace game at all, nivver liked the trek ower there.
I honestly thought we were gonna win it. Nivver felt like that at Wembley since.
Many on here will remember the late great Frank Preston . He walked out of Wembley that day and never watched Sunderland again . So he told me .Same here mate. Was absolutely f***ing gutted at end. Played poorly .
I have been to every loss at Wembley, do i hate Wembley no. I want us to get there as soon as possible so we can finally put this record to bed.The start of a hate relationship with Wembley that has continued ever since
Same here mate. Was absolutely f***ing gutted at end. Played poorly .
Yeah. Nerves seemed to get better of them. A huge letdown.In realty didn't play at all that day. an absolute gut wrencher if it was compared to the Chelsea semi 2nd leg
