I was there on the kop and the team showed real character to come back from two down.
The noise that night was really loud.
I was heart broken after the second leg thinking I would never see the sky blues play at Wembley. How wrong was I !
One of the greatest nights ever at HR. And the return at Upton Park was one of the worst nights ever. We missed a chance in the first few minutes and you just knew what was coming. At least I got a day off school - and my Dad got a bollocking from my English teacher for taking me. He was a WBA season ticket holder so Dad wasn’t having any of that. The week didn’t end well either as I think we went out of the FA cup at Spurs
Tough going to two away cup games in London in about 4 days and losing both, All relative though, what I would give for that now on all sorts of levels. In saying that you would never be able to afford it.
