    I was born 6 years after the event and spent my youth dreaming of seeing us repeat the feat.
    It isn't going to happen is it?

    Pitch could have done with a good soaking.

    My brother was born the day we won the cup. My father must have had mixed feelings as he was a Millwall fan.

    What made you support CAFC being your Dad was a Millwall  fan and who did your brother support ?  Where were you living at the time?

    Sorry to band on about this again, but I’m genuinely puzzled. The ball was bouncing around like it was made of rubber. I guess the balls were different back then, but I’d expect them to be more like a lump of concrete than super bouncy. Pitch was super dry as guess as there was a mini heatwave, but didn’t they water them back then.

    Isn't it wonderful that the Club had a dinner in 1997 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our FA Cup win?

    Not ... 50 years since we won anything ... but a milestone celebration of our main achievement.

    75 years on, I guess we've learned the lesson.
