Just found a programme of the league cup final  from 1969 the Arsenal team we beat were amazing with the likes of Graham, Wilson, McLintock and Gould!

It says "the gap between todays opponents, makes Arsenal one of the hottest favourites Wembley has known", didn't realise what an achievement it was to win, 3-1 in extra time I think.

Is anyone old enough to remember that day?

 I was there.....I would imagine it would be the greatest upset in terms of relative league positions in Wembley history.....I've also had a feeling for a while now that we'll be back at Wembley the season or next that it opens.

So have I funnily enough but it's more likely to be Wembley FC in the Rymans league the way things are going.
