    None.

    I saw the play off final v Port Vale.

    I really hate the new Wembley,it’s a national disgrace that this abortion was allowed in its place!

    What an insult to the boys of 66 can’t even visit the place of their triumph.

    The original Wembley should’ve been revamped in its original design on its original spot.

    The new place is an affront to its memory.

    1965 League Cup Final 2 legs West Ham
    1966 League Cup Final Wembley QPR
    1968 FA Cup Final Everton
    1970 League Cup Final Man. City

    In the Sixties it seemed we were always involved in Cup Finals or good cup runs. 1969 Semi Final Leicester

    Never thought that when I left Wembley after that League Cup defeat in 1970 that it would be the last time I saw Albion in a Cup Final of any importance.

    Probably the most dramatic F A cup final I saw was in 1973. Still remember that save from Jim Montgomery which denied Peter Lorimer a certain goal. Sunderland beat Leeds 1-0 and became the first side from the Second Divusion to win the cup since the Baggies in 1931.

    The most entertaining game I saw at Wembley was in 1998 when I went up with a friend who was an avid Charlton fan. That play off final against Sunderland ended 3-3 after full time and 4-4 after extra time. Charlton won the penalty shoot out when Michael Gray missed his spot kick and sent the Addicks up into the Premiership.

    In my opinion Jim Montgomery’s save was the greatest of all time.......better than Banksy’s.

    Monty was still on his side after saving Cherry’s diving header when the ball arrived on Lorimer’s famed right foot and still he got his hand to it!

    In my view one of the most iconic moments in the history of football.
