Offside Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Probably my favourite memory of watching City. I was 12 and never expected to see us at Wembley and to get the win was fantastic. The third goal was superb.Terry Cooper's emotional interview after the game still brings tears to my eyes. Apart from the lack of a proper badge that was a decent kit as well.

stephenkibby. Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 We got lost in London on our way to the game. At a set of traffic lights we were next to Saint & Greavesie ( who were presenting the trophy if memory serves) Got out the car told em our predicament. "No problem lads follow us" Witch we did all the way to Wemberley!!! And what a day it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 My first ever trip to Wembley and was overawed by the size of the stadium, great day that will live long in the memory and possibly the turning point of when the club came out of those dark days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolskRed Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Funnily enough I was looking st the programs for the Bolton & Mansfield games last week. Brought back some fantastic memories, especially the Bolton game obviously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I just remember sitting on the terraces at the end crying my eyes out. I never thought I would ever see my little old Bristol City win a trophy at Wembley. Winning there actually meant something back then too and it was the proper old Wembley and not the new corporate `experience`. One of my best ever days.

Couldn't have put it better myself - echo every word. Just walking into the famous old stadium and seeing 'Bristol City' on the scoreboard brought a lump to my throat...back when Wembley and everything about it meant so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I become nostalgic when the scoreboard was updated by two men physically changing over the numbers. City were ninth in 1985/86 but did well in the Freight Rover Trophy as the cup competition was known. After winning the pool stage, City had a succession of home ties and reached the Southern final. They lost the first leg at Edgar Street 2-0, but won the return leg against Hereford three nil and became the second local team to play at Wembley. The first had been Almondsbury/Greenway in an amateur competition. The opponents were to be Bolton Wanderers. The two League games had both occurred near the end of the season with City winning 4-0 at Burnden Park and 2-0 at home. At Wembley they split the difference and won 3-0 with Steve Neville scoring two of the goals. Bolton’s best player was Mark Gavin who later joined City.

grubby Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Last min decision to go as I didn't drive yet and dad wasn't sure he wanted to go. We got pissed at the white horse, lower Ashley rd, on the Friday night and I convinced him to go . Left Filton around 7am and getting to Wembley by 9, bought tickets on the day bumped into a few shire lads we knew from darts and walked to a boozer they knew was open at 11. Absolutely bollaxed , and that was my dad who was driving home, brilliant crack, amazing sing song with the Bolton lads and didn't leave pub until 2.30 and just made kick off. Seeing the bank of red to our left, somehow we ended up with seats by the royal box, was awesome and a memory you'll never forget, seeing your team for the first time at Wembley. Watched city lift the trophy and made it back to the bulldog by 7.30 for a dart competition, runner up for £50 . What a day. We never quite played as well the following year vs Mansfield.

We may have had more successful managers before and since, but I doubt we've had one who ever cared more about the club. The man is an absolute hero in my eyes.

Gazred Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ah the nostalgia. I was 9 years old when i went to that match. It was my first proper season going to watch City. Wasn't Keegan there at some point? Pre match? Certainly remember Saint and Greavsie presenting the trophy. They don't make them like TC any more do they? Can only agree that some sort of permanent recognition of his contribution to the club would be a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
