FA Youth Cup

I was thinking back to 1986....
The victorious youth team were unable to defend the Lancashire FA Youth Cup.
In the 1st round (there were 1st round, admin and final) City beat Oldham 12-0 (still a City youth team record) but could not fit in the semi or final because of bad weather and backlog of A team games and the FA Youth Cup run.
The cup was postponed and then restarted as a pre season tournament in August 86 - but those players who were 18 before the end of July were ineligible. Only Lakey, Hinchcliffe and Steve Mills (and subs Steve Macauley / John Clarke) from the cup winning team were eligable
City lost the semi final and lost the grip on the cup we had won the previous 4 years.

Had the team been able to defend the Lancs cup I am certain they would have won the treble..... Lancashire A League champs, FA and Lancs FA Youth Cup winners
Ah right, point taken.
