Sargent Pepper Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah i heard it was the same day, I was 11 and remember Keith Curle shaking my hand on the lap of honour. I'm just about to put the dvd on of it for good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 If you're looking for another omen from that day, ask yourself who Phil Brown made his name with for years before becoming a manager in his own right.... Yeah Phil Brown was there right back that day, another 3-0 defeat for him tomorrow pease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I was there, 9 years old at the time, remember the goals well and i think Saint & Greavsie presented the trophy! That was my first time at Wembley, as it will be at the new stadium tomorrow......not that I'm looking for the slightest omen in any way shape or form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granadared Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 my memories of the day? ........... great result, but cr*p stadium. Stood behind the goal in half empty stand. I remember rushing home to see the highlights of the goals scored down the other end, but unfortunately those were the days when there was no media coverage and therefore no highlights. How times have changed!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chaplain Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I was there too - got punched in the face by a Bolton fan on the way out ... in a good natured kind of way. (Didn't realise that about Phil Brown though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Head Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Remember mixing it with about 20 Bolton fans in the middle of Piccadilly, Japanese tourists coudn't quite believe what was going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fulham red Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Still remember it vividly. Remember looking up at the old Wembley scoreboard saying Bristol City 3 Bolton 0 - the same one that read England 4 Germany 2 in '66 - magic! Also remember Glyn Riley scoring then running behind the goal, jumping in the air and landing on his bum - looked real painful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinC Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Just found my scarf from that game - and the one from year after! Am tempted to wear my shirt from 1987 game too (white with red trim and Hirerite across middle) but might be unlucky! The only unlucky thing was the dumbarsed idea to ask Gordon Owen to take a penalty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wardy Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 9 years old and have vivid memories of a champagne day. Who can forget the giant banner "Nat Lofthouse????? Nat Sh1thouse" - I was crying with laughter. Went with my Uncle Rich then and I'm going with him again tomorrow. He is the man I thank for getting me into The City. I feel as confident now as I did back then when we were leading 1-0 at half time. At about 3.50pm, my Uncle turned to me and said "Do you think we will win?" I almost threw my Tizer over his white espodrils. I have to mention Terry Cooper. One of the nicest blokes in football and a City legend. He dragged us up from the dregs and took us up from the basement and on to Wembley. There is a post match interview with him on Youtube. The Man weeps tears of joy and puts winning the Freight Rover Trophy ahead of winning European titles, First Division Championships, FA Cups and being England's best player at the 1970 World Cup. He's a terrific example of remembering where we come from. If we go up tomorrow, it's people like Terry that should bask in the shared glory. Here's to you TERRY.

RedLionLad Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I was high up on the Mendip Hills taking part in a sponsored walk which had been planned earlier that year and I just could not get to Wembley. We listened to the game on a radio tied to my rucksack. We stopped at The Miners Arms at Shipham and pitched our tent in a farmer's field. At around 10.30pm, a coach and a mini-bus pulled up outside and about 75 City fans poured into the pub.....all singing and dancing. Anyway, we didn't get out of there until daylight.....pi$$ed as farts.....and woke up a few hours later ON TOP of our collapsed tent!!! I didn't go to Wembley.....but I still remember the day very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, great day and as someone said earlier , it was one of those when smaller teams were first given the chance to go Wembley it was unheard of to go unless it was league or FA cup finals till about that time. Fantastic day was had, as will today. Enjoy everyone ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 If it follows, it's 3-0 with 2 goals by Adebola (Journeyman striker) and one by Sprout/ Noble (Right winger) with Trundle as MOM (TAlented striker who had not done himself justice). It had better not all be the same though, or I will arrive home and my black cat will die on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
