SAFC Milk Cup Heroes Reunite For 40th Anniversary Celebration
- Thread starter Hetty
- Start date
Was in the RAF in London at the time and went to every game in the run, was convinced we’d win at Wembley as we’d beaten some good teams on the way, Europe here I come. Still haven’t forgiven Clive ‘Baldy’ Walker, wouldn’t have got into Europe either as British teams banned next season

Wonder if you're the fella I celebrated with when we got the pen
Few bricks through our coach window on way. Got into Wembley just as the teams came out for more misery. Coach broke down on way home near Leicester. Got home at 8:00 the next morning. Mind I did get the day off school.

Same here. Went down as a kid with my dad and my uncle. One ticket in the Sunderland end between us. Swapped that plus cash for three tickets from a tout.

I agree although 1990 even worse.What’s to celebrate we were abysmal that day, probably our worst ever Wembley performance

That's the wrong term but there is something in remembering the journey there, especially the quarter and semi-finals. Turner was superb. The match itself was a real let down (first time at Wembley for me and I just thought it was a shit heap withvweeds and peeling paint everywhere) but loads to say about the day. Hodgson is an interesting character. It's not like it's a civic reception with Ian Wallace there. A significant moment in our history and I don't think there has been much heard from Turner about his Sunderland days.What’s to celebrate we were abysmal that day, probably our worst ever Wembley performance

No Sunderland. Think it happened to a few.
Agree.
We had a chance to get a draw against Norwich from the spot. We barely had a chance of any note against Swindon. Totally outplayed.
We did very well to get to the final in '85. Drew away against Palace and Notts Forest. Beat Spurs, Watford and Chelsea away.
Pity we didn't turn up at Wembley.
