Firstly, I can’t believe this post has only one comment. Stags’ victory at the mecca of English football deserves better surely? A great cup side over the years, this might have been the “lower” league sides competition, but a thrilling finale for Stags efforts it was. I can vaguely remember the semi finals against Chester, our minibus received a large rock through a window, barely missing the head of the lad sat there. The interaction between Stags and Bristol fans was superb, it was refreshingly relaxed and friendly. We were sharing a bottle of whisky with ’em before kick off. Memories of the match itself, 1 all draw, Stringy hitting the bar, David Moyes, Keith Curle in opposition, Hitchcock saves in the shootout, Kenworthy’s winner, golden!

They were heady days were they not. Use to go to watch the Stags at all thier home games when I lived in my home town of Mansfield in the 50-60s. Full houses often some wonderful results, Stags 3 West Ham 0. Yes I was at Wembly, fab day great result. It hurts to see the gates of today, won’t improve until in 1st division.YO8C4
