I went to the 1967 Spurs v Chelsea final. I was eleven. No idea how we came to get tickets, and the Wimbledon v Liverpool one. My brother got those, being involved with the Worcestershire F.A.
Couldn't get any for the 68 final though went to the semi.
Did all the Albion F.A. cup games the following season to make sure we got some for the final. Lost at Hillsborough. Ossie let a poor goal in.
Saw most of the games in 1968 and was very very nervous before the final. After we brilliantly beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge the next year I felt very confident that we would win it again. But they always let us down don't they? Up the Baggies!
I had seen most games in 1968 but was understandably very very nervous before the final. But the following year after we brilliantltybeat Chelsea at Atamforf BridgeI was sure we would retain the cup
Been to two FA Cup Finals, both with the Baggies, 1954 v PNE and 1968 v Everton, we won them both![]()
Just catching up on some old threads.
Never seen a Fa cup final as I refuse to see that or a league cup final because I still foolishly think I will see them with the Albion, having been born in 1972.
I however have had the fortune to see%
1) 2006 Zidane chestbutt world cup final.
2) 1996 European championship final (it should have been England).
3) 1992 European cup final, Barcelona beat Sampdoria to win their first one.
4) The last cup winners cup final lazio vs real mallorca which was played at vile Park.
5) And the best of all WBA 3 Vale 0 at Wembley.
I wished I'd made more of an effort to go and watch the river plate vs boca juniors copa liberwhateverthespellingis in Madrid late last year after it was moved there after crowd trouble.
Hopefully, on 5/4/19 I'll get an email that my application for this season's European cup final at atletico's new ground has been successful (I doubt it will be though), as it would be first ground abroad where I've to a club's old and new ground.
Never been to a final. Seen three semis, at Hillsbrough, Highbury and Wembley. Lost them all. Still live in hope, but as the years pass it's becoming less likely.
Unfortunately I couldnt get to the 1912 Final, I was very busy on the day lol. Who was playing that day by the way ?.![]()
