Happy Days. First time I saw us win at Wembley, a couple of years after my 1st visit when Bristol City battered us 3 0.

[William the White]

Enjoyed that.

[P.O.S.]

I want one of the trackie tops we came out of the tunnel in!

Happy days, 8 of us travelled down in the back of a hired Tranny van. It was the pre match that stands out more than the match for me. Firstly for the save some BBC Lancashire fat bloke made from Frankie in the pre match warm up and secondly for the 6 quid fog horn I bought from Halfords which the 3 blokes in front kindly offered to shove up my ar5e sideways if I set it off again without warning them.

[Harry Genshaw]

That was great seeing that again.

Perhaps I'm being overly nostalgic but you can shove the premier league and all its squillions up yer arse compared to those glorious days

[bobo the clown]

Lovely. Great day, despite our charabanc breaking down near Sandbach on the way back.

Didn't recall Cyril Knowles being their manager.

... & Elton being Queen for the day !

There's a picture of me somewhere, stood on the Olympic Way, eating crisps in my bezzy ever black leather jacket, ripped jeans and a Then Jericho tour t-shirt.

As I recall (and as the video attests) we were absolutely paid on to play Wolves and no-one could quite believe that we were going to play Torquay. Still, at least it meant that we had a chance of winning it!

I still to this day don't remember Torquay scoring first!

Also - on the links to the video, don't be fooled by Jennie Bares All. She doesn't. She doesn't even get her tits out. She prattles on and is then joined by one of her mates and they prattle on in stereo. In Yank, too. I've watched it so that you don't have to. Don't say that I never take one for the team!

My dad carries a permanent scar on his knee due to holding me up to see us raise the Sherpa Van. Happy days

How heavy are you?!

I was 15, my dad drove us down in the old Citroen, whose window refused to wind back up on the way home, driving up the M^ freezing but happy.

I'd forgotten the Torquay keeper was nearly 40 and pulled out of retirement!

I remember hearing we'd be playing Torquay rather than Wolves on the car park at Blackpool. Very happy with that, it could have been very different - they were, frankly, much better than us at the time and the Wembley experience would have almost certainly been much less fun...

My mum decided me and my dad couldnt go cos we had to go to Barton Air Show that day instead because she was fed up of us always going to football matches. Thanks Mum.

[Lofthouse Lower]

What a bitch!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

What a bitch!

She also vetoe'd us going to the Reading game cos we'd spent a fortune a couple months earlier going down for the liverpool game.

Like you say, a total bitch

[Lofthouse Lower]

That's shocking

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Never seen us win at Wembley, only seen us score once at Wembley.
- Bristol City 0-3
- Tranmere 0-1
- Liverpool 1-2
- Watford 0-2
- Aston Villa 0-0
- Stoke 0-5

The two games i missed, we scored 4 in each.
Again..thanks mum

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Who let him buy a Stoke ticket?!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Who let him buy a Stoke ticket?!

My mum !

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Anyway, we'd have still lost 5-4

TBF I was only 10 at the time and I was a shortarse and couldn't see. My dad lifted me up and fell down the back of the plastic seat but managed still hold me up to see us raise the trophy. Dad

Great memories, although the entire day was a blur due to excesses of alcohol, particularly in Kilburn pre match.
I remember very little about the game, just lots of early morning drinking round Trafalgar Square where an offy kindly decided to open up for us at 7am.
However I did make it to the match as you could clearly make me out on a photo which appeared in Match Weekly of Sumo's goal.
