was even more dissapointed the year after when leicester beat us in semi in second replay imagine if we had been playing the fantastic spurs side at wembley in the final boy did we have a great cup team in the late 50s and early 60s

Went to every cup game that season OB, including all 3 semi’s. The one we should have won was the first one up at Leeds (we wos robbed by the referee! Disallowed Doc’s “goal”). Mind you, we would probably have lost in the final. That Spurs side really were a cut above.
