The home leg was the first cup final I ever attended, and after the 2nd (1972)
I thought I was a lucky omen. Unfortunately, the 3rd (1973) and 4th (1975)
proved otherwise - but I have to say I am not responsible for any subsequent
final losses, as I didn't attend those.
I seem to remember, from the abandoned 1st leg match, that Eddie Gray tripped
over a puddle and did himself some quite serious damage. Am I imagining this?
And didn't Capello score in the 1st leg (2nd game obv)?
