The greatest day for me being an Arab ahead of 2010
And as mentioned before the funsters never fail to deliver a laugh, 10m35 into the vid, during highlights of an earlier round, they pitch invade an equaliser at clydebank and the bankies keeper batters a funster in the goal
I will put up my story later when i finish work,but i always think of one man when this day comes around the late great Davie Young.
With the redevelopment of Hampden we only got around 12,000 tickets for that final and they were like hens teeth,Davie managed to get me tickets for all my family and most of us had been at all of the previous 6 defeats.
Without his help at least half of us would never have witnessed the Terrors making Hampden history,WASC with a FACT.
Two things I remember - belting out 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' at half-time and thanking Falkirk when Gary Stevens got injured!
Tremendous. Went through as a 14 year old with my pal on the Bensons Arabs bus. What a day & what a City Square party the next day. 🧡🖤
To this day the bedsit has that cup final winning photo adorning the living room wall their victory paid for the deposit of the property.I was single at the time but any burd unfortunate to enter the bedsit was telt early that the framed photie would be there till the hoose got repossessed or i passed away.
I moved into the bedsit in October 1994 and the picture has only ever left the wall during redecoration,many years ago my partner said,"Can we no just put that in the lobby or the ootside lavy?."I replied,"If it wiznie for that team up there not one of us would be standing in this room so the answer is no."
The subject has never come up again,WASC with a FACT,BTW i won just over £1250,having witnessed 6 big cup defeats i still to this day wonder why i was so confident considering it was the longest shot since the 74 final.
We were up against Glasgow Rangers going for a double treble and were 4/1 underdogs but i just knew we were gonna blow the witches curse to smithereens.
