Wembley 1981 memory's

[denislawsbackheel]

Was there on the Saturday.
Worked on Claremont Road so saw an utterly pissed Gerry Gow arrive back at Maine Road.
Didn't make the replay.
Always believed Bond was an utter ****.

It's been mentioned many a time but one of the key memories for me was at the replay. A Spurs fan appeared on the wall from the lower tier below us and a load of City rushed at him and sent him flying. Don't know how far he dropped but certainly didn't get up on the wall again.

I'll be there this time if we get past the rags

THIS is the important point ! A semi is a semi, it means f**k all it being at Wembley, please can we not treat it like its our cup final, or it may well end up being just that.

Oh mate, you are bang on the money with that comment . Jokers doing shiny fa cup cut outs and all that shit.

It embarrasses me that we have fallen so far.

This is going to fuck a few heads up.

My Dad (a united fan) took me and we went in the City end. And he was cheering like fuck for City.

Went to both and its an injustice that the Argies goal is always played. Stevie Mc,s was quality and must rank amongst the best scored at Wembley

Couldn't do the first game due to work but made the reply with my dad (RIP).

This is the first time my lad has been able to do Wembley and I'm damn sure that he's going to enjoy it.

Come on City let's be 'avin' you!!!!

spurs that day as they are now were lucky cunts.

the nearest team to the scum for me and even thats a close call.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Remember more of the replay than the sturday game.Couldnt undersatnd why the Spurs fans were still looking for trouble after the game.

Walking back to station ,having a piss in the toilets and some big fat spuds fans with 2 mates piping up "I know its a toilet but I can smell some f**kin Northern shit in here"
To which someone to my left replied "it must be me then and if you wanna do out about it come outside and i'll kick you up and down the f**kin road!!
It didnt get outside the toilet as the cockney started to have a go this guy and his mate leapt at them and gave them afew cracks and off the fat lad went .

Still cant believe more is not made of Mckenzies goal,absolute quality.But as already said the luck spuds hadon the saturday was unbelievable.

Went to both as 16 year old on my own,as a dad now what were my mam and dad thinking.
First thing that struck me was the river of piss running down the stairs inside the twin towers,a bloke standing in front of me with a black bin liner full of cans of ale(that's where the rivers were coming from).
You couldn't hear the brass bands like on the telly,Spurs were in our end,they had live roosters with them and it was kicking off all the way through the game.
The sheer pandemonium when we went 1 up,and the cockney's getting leathered when they equalised.
Walked out of my O' level technical drawing to go down for the replay,got served in a London pub(looked about twelve at the time),queueing to get in it was even worse for cockney's in our end,we'd blown our chance Saturday and we were never really in the game,coming back to the station for the special,we got legged off some of the locals as some clown took the piss out of the recent death of Bob Marley ,and that special took forever to get back and was as quiet as the grave.
