Charlie George broke my heart we were much the better team and Steve Heighway's goal should have been the winner
Remember it like yesterday, I was 10 in 1971 my dad took me to the Ideal Home Exhibition to look for a new telly, yeah I know pops wasnt into football more a golfer ,jeez Cup final day I was not a happy bunny putting a gob on was an understatement.
I watched the match on a Grundig telly funny how you remember stuff like that, there were about 10 sets up and working the salesman kept changing the channels for prospective buyers ( No remotes in those days), we still had a black and white telly so to watch the extra time in colour on a top of the range Grundig, I was going nowhere if I could help it. My dad wanted to go for something to eat and a pint I wanted to watch Liverpool so he had a chat wi the guy ,he left one telly for me thinking theres a sale coming the guy watched me like a hawk,even bought me a can of Fanta my pops came back later on ,I was greetin my eyes oot,
"What did you do to him" my dad asked, " Nothing mate" he's been bawlin and sniveling since Liverpool lost the Cup Final ,still bare the scars
