I was also behind that goal about half way up the upper standing area. I've only been to Wembley twice - both times to watch Cov.
I've been twice to watch football, just when we played and once to watch American Football. Anyone remember the London Monarchs?
Too young to go by myself, Dad didn't want to go so watched it on the telly with my Mum.
The weather's similar today. Cup finals aren't the same if they're played at dusk.

great times gutted I wasn't their tho had a great gig that night was plastered Was sat near the half way line lower tier, opposite royal box. A mix of sky blue and spurs fans. Origionally had tickets to stand in spurs end but didnt realise until we got to stadium so swapped them with some spurs fans. Still gives me goosebumps... Oh happy days!
I was next to the left wing corner flag of the end we were attacking in the 2nd half. Wish I had been older than 11 so that I could have properly appreciated the size of our achievement.
At 10:03 our train would have been getting close to Waterloo.

Well Mr. Poynton done it
The Sky Blues had won it
With John Sillett clucking all the while
Mabbutt's interception made us smile
While Killer lay unconscious on the barroom tile
We're talkin' football
From Southampton to Lymm
Talkin' football
Phillips and Micky Gynn
Dave Bennett's grotesquely swollen jaw
Greg Downs and his run-in with the law
We're talkin' Houchen... Oggy and McGrath

Yep.
Fantastic view.
Will we ever see a day like that again you think? :thinking about:
I severely hope so, I was just a toddler at the time and now I'm one of the older Sky Blues!!!
And me, good view especially of Houchens goal.
Hope you werent as close to the pissed up Spurs fans in the block as I was. Still after hearing them yawping on all game, it was great to see them leave after Mabbutts og (yes they left before the end) and ven funnier to see one fall down the steps like a muppet.

Two bands I remember well, and saw them both live.
Were you touring with them and playing? or working on the tour crew?
Torch, great thread to start to take our mind off current situation. Since '87 I've got married, had three kids, lived abroad and dobne all sorts of things but seeing us win at Wembley and then that night back in Cov is still the happiest day of my life!
Where you were 26 years ago today? I was here:
I was behind the goal half way up on the right. I went with my Dad and 4 relatives, 3 have passed away since then. That was the greatest day of my life, as it was for many of you I am sure.
I was there and can't remember anything about the match.Only memory I have was see Tony Wall from King,and how quiet we all were coming out of wembley,I remember going on the Hinckley/Ansty road
and everyone tooting their car horns,brilliant.I think I was in shock

I was there as a 5 month old foetus. That counts. Plus, didn't have to pay for a ticket; view wasn't much cop mind.
Watched the game with my old man in folly lane club on london rd.Was only 15 but think I sneaked a couple of beers in.stood on the London rd watching them all come back.Great day .

Holy crap, I'd forgot about those. At the same age I was then, my nephew's got a Nintendo DS. Jammy sod.
Why do you ask? I was standibg at the back of that stand with my dad brother and others and for me it was also the happiesst day of my life! and I would imagine for a lot of others
