FA cup winners, championship winners double...you heard it here 8th.
Love the FA cup, because of the FA cup some mate of mine from my RAF days who hadn't been to a football match in his life , confessed to hate football but who happened to hail from Weymouth used to royally take the piss out of me.
You can't buy that sort of irony. I however could talk him right through our capitulation in detail.
What was it I read in an old version of 'Watch the Bluebirds Fly' after a cup tie at home to Gloucester City?
Something along the lines of "Standing on the Bob bank, 2-0 down to Gloucester with about 4 minutes to go and I light up a spliff, Jeff Chandler scores twice, 2-2, best trip I ever had", something like that, it was a long time ago now. I recall the replay being extreme at their poxy ground.
Jacks got beaten by Nuneaton Tra la la la la la...
'The jewel in the Cardiff City crown has glittered' Ian Brown on Match of the Day that night after we had been dancing on the pitch to Nathan Blake's wonder goal that very afternoon.
Any better memory than 6Jan2002 for the atmosphere and result against Leeds.
Tottenham, Wrexham and Everton in 1977
C-mob keeps saying Cardiff have never done QPR but I remember a certain replay in january 1990 when we totally took the place over. I'll have to dig out a copy of the Evening standard from the following day I've got hidden around somewhere.
And... although we lost
THE FOOTBALL, 18Nov1991 will be imprinted on my brain forever.
