15th March 1980

[Frank Lincoln]

I well remember the 1980 League Cup Final. Wolves were the underdogs against Nottingham Forest, the League Cup holders and reigning European champions. But Wolves were victorious thanks to an Andy Gray tap in after a mix up in the Forest defence.

What a great day that was.

It was a great day indeed. I was there and I’ve still got the ticket stub.

I was there. Never thought then i would never see another trophy. Im 63 now!

City 74, Forest 80, both magical,

I was there. Never thought then i would never see another trophy. Im 63 now!

In 1959 I saw us win a 3rd League Championship in the space of six seasons. I was 10 then. Never thought I would never see another League Championship. I'm 74 now!

I was there. I was at University of Sheffield and my mate who was at Luton College got us tickets. I think I must have hitched down from Sheffield to Luton, but certainly we hitched from Luton to London on the day - I do remember that. And the goal went in right in front of us.

When I watched wolves beat Everton 1 - 0 in the cup final at Followfield, Manchester I thought we would have won over a dozen by now. I'm 144 years old now.

It was a great day indeed. I was there and I’ve still got the ticket stub.

Me too. And i got a ****ed up Andy Gray to sign mine… I wish I had signed it myself at least it would be readable.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

The only downside for me and my three friends was that the only tickets we could get were in the Forest end behind the goal. Trying to contain ourselves when Andy Gray scored wasn’t easy, but wise!

I saw my first game in 1963, and I still recall what my Dad told me at the time. He said the Wolves team of the ‘50’s was as good a team as he had seen. He also said that Peter Broadbent was one of the finest footballers in the country. High praise indeed, particularly when you bear in mind that my Father was a lifelong Manchester City fan.

Sorry for going off topic.

The excitement sent my mom into labour. Nigh on 43 years later here I am.

It was snowing that week apparently, or so my mom tells me.

What I would give for a major cup win in my lifetime.

Will you give birth with the excitement though???

If it is any consolation, i thought the play off final was just as magical.
