You come out with a lot of guff but “the view at the old Wembley was much better??” They even sold cheaper tickets because you were sat behind a post.
Also, time for my Gary Parker story?
I went to both those first league cup finals. Didn't go to either of the ZDS ones though so probably lose a few points there.
I think one was Simon*, the other ZDS when we won it. And now I think of it, why were Liverpool allowed to compete seeing as it all came about post Heysel.
*autocorrect has now officially renamed this competition.
And then we lost the Rumbelows Cup. Or was that different?
I think we need to find out what the various cups were called when. I think the league cup became the milk cup as it's first sponsor, and it was just after we owned it, and we never won it again.
I may have made that up.
Still, Forest. Not milky.
I've been to all Wembley appearances since the 1st League Cup v Liverpool which apparently is 12 in total. I wasn't born in 1959 so unfortunately can't claim 100% attendance at competative games. We were at a friendly tournament at Wembley in 1988 which I missed.
I had that one in the late 90s/early 00s. Got it from The Old Fashioned Football Shirt Co (TOFFS). They no longer seem to carry it as far as I can tell.
Here it is at another site
Website says it’s 50s vintage?I was always tempted by their repro Dukla Prague away shirt as it came with a copy of the single.
TOFFS is closing down - I don't think they've got any stock left, so what TOFFS stuff you see elsewhere is likely to be limited.
I liked TOFFS stuff. Although the Green Man Forest one was too enormous even for me. Still have another Forest one, a Finland one and a GB green one.
That site is truly retro. It has us listed as a Championship side.
