The only Wembley game I've missed and the only one we've ever lost.

There was a thread recently about chants that have disappeared

About 50 secs in there is a chant 'Coventry Coventry Coventry', not sure I've ever heard that, when did that stop?

I always assumed this thing chose games from the same day, so why has it chosen one in August?

And it's picked yet another loss!

I was there but apart from the new kit I have zero recollection of this game. Did Speedie make his debut here? That yellow away kit always reminds me of Speedie.

I have so many memories of the Cup Final from the journey down and pre/post match, but remember nothing about this.

Me too and I don’t remember anything about it either…but can remember loads about the semi-final. No cup final for me!

The only thing I recall was sitting infront of some Everton fans, who were a jovial bunch.

Remember the Everton end of the Wembley was busy but not packed. Cov end was absolutely rammed.

I went down with friends, must have been 55,000 Cov and maybe 33,000 Everton.
The only Cov game at Wembley I’ve missed was the Man Utd debacle, when I was on our 30th Wedding Anniversary trip to Porto. We watched the match though!

I threw my Cov flat cap over the fence. Dave Bennett stood on it. I managed to get it back with a stud mark. Still have the cap but the mark has disappeared now.
