We finally reached the promised land and won the FA Cup. For some of the oldies who’d been at Wembley in 69 ( and some of the earlier ones for the real oldies) it was a moment I honestly thought I’d never see.
To actually be at Wembley that day was simply a dream come true sitting next to my dear friend who’d been with me in 74 all the way to that fateful night at Villa Park.

Sadly just 2 years to the day we’re heading into the abyss. What a bloody mess.

Some were touting the line of….

“Won the FA cup, doesn’t matter how shit we’ve become”

In actual fact, could prove to be the demise of the club
 
Previous manager and certain players been dining off this for two years how about the garbage that has been served up since 😀

I’m assuming you remember 49 though Kendal. My grandad went to all 4 finals.

Don't gaze into the abyss, LG! We're not done yet, my friend ;)
