Remember that day, and the long walk back to the station after the game, when the OB wouldn't let us onto the buses they had lined up as they were almost being tipped over by those inside them.

2-1 24/03/84 (they scored 2 in the last 2 mins). You and I had the same dark blue round neck kappa shirt on and light blue polo.

Year later, I was on the later train (the one where we bumped into Denton and his crew - NO, JERKY WAS NOT THERE) - 30/03/85 - 2-2 (dean sanuders played for us)
Busses smashed on way home, first time I ever heared:

In 1927 In the merry month of May
The Cardiff walked to wembley
They walked the Wembley way etc.

Im sure Mick Mccarthy scored their winner in the last minute.

Remember bottom of the away end only had a small fence dividing us from man city,you were also allowed to drink inside ground and when we scored loads of pints got chucked over there boys, great ground maine rd!!!!.
