Villa or Fulham

[sinkov]

I am surprised that Terry didn't barge in and lift the trophy.

Chuffed that Fulham won.

and it's a ground that I have always wanted to visit - but i haven't managed it yet.

Last and only time I was there 59/60 we won 5-3, sometime in the 1960s. Either Willie Irvine or Brian O'Neill scored a hat trick, it's so long ago now I can't remember which.

Are you ever right sinkov?

Perhaps it is just the memory that is failing sinkov because it could well have been this match that he was talking about

Yes, that's the one Ss, gave Fulham a goal too many but my memory didn't do too badly with the rest. One thing I don't remember is Brian Miller taking a penalty. Did he take many, and as we had so many prolific scorers at the time, why on earth was Brian taking them anyway ?

Better effort this one sinkov. My uncle on my mother's side lived in the street right behind Craven Cottage and he took me to the match.

I'm sure Brian was captain at the time and he just walked over and took the ball. He was a big lad was Mr Miller and no-one dared argue with him. I am also sure it was the first time I ever saw a penalty smashed right down the middle.

Be fair BT, my first effort wasn't bad, we had won there 5-3 and 5-2 in the 60s, at over 50 years distance, just getting the Fulham scores the wrong round is forgiveable surely ?

Anyway I'll put my memory to the test once again. I have this idea that the BT's goal was a screamer from 25/30 yards out. You were there, and you of all people should be able to recall that. Am I right ?
