I remember that 84/85 team, they should probably have won the Youth Cup that season too, with Darren Beckford banging in the goals for fun. I watched them thrash Forest 8-0, sat just behind the directors' box. Cloughie stuck it for about an hour and then walked out. Lost at Newcastle in the next round after dominating the game according to reports.

I remember that 84/85 team, they should probably have won the Youth Cup that season too, with Darren Beckford banging in the goals for fun. I watched them thrash Forest 8-0, sat just behind the directors' box. Cloughie stuck it for about an hour and then walked out. Lost at Newcastle in the next round after dominating the game according to reports.

City had a decent squad, but Newcastle had a certain Paul Gascoigne alongside Kevin Scott and a few others who made the First XI.
