Blue Moon!!!!!!!

On 16th May 1987 the SKY BLUES won the F.A.CUP having beaten Bolton Wanderers, Man Utd (!!!!!!) Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds Utd on the way. Keith Houchen scored a diving header in the match, a goal that has been described as one of the top ten goals ever to be scored at Wembley (whoop whoop)

(I just needed to get that in first!)

Being F.A.Cup day this Saturday, I thought it appropriate to wear my commemorative tee shirt!! PUSB PUSB!!!





Bro and neph got their hands on a couple of tickets!



Basically Bro would have gone to any length to get just one ticket..anywhere in the ground. The last time Man City won a trophy was in 1976 when they beat Newcastle Utd to win the League Cup, an outing our family went to (even though Dad, God bless him, bought seats in the Newcastle end!)

N.B.THE PRICE!!



(Great overhead kick by Dennis Tueart!)

Here's the Neph all ready for action!



They saw David Gold... this was before he sacked Avram Grant.























Did you get the jist?? Man City won (one-nil)...he was a happy chappy!

So a good couple of months for Bro because he won a bottle of rum for having his letter printed in April's edition of Wisden!
