Shoot April 1991 - Rumbelows Cup Final Report


Recommended Posts

What was our other shot on target? In the statistics I remember, both teams hit the target just once each. Ours went in and theirs was spectacularly saved by Turner.

I  wouldn't trust what is written there - it implies we won silverware in 1955 and as we know it was 1935!

 

 

Just watched this - that save from Turner was fantastic - good job Woods wasn't in the net!  God I feel old - Les Sealy looks like a boy and I thought what an old bugger he looked at the time ;-)

Great day out. On the way back to Sheffield we realised there was no hope of making it back to the pub for closing time. We persuaded the coach driver to turn off at a junction around Leciester, and found an empty pub 100 meters from the junction.  The landlord had his best takings for a sunday night!!

The best Wednesday moment ever was when Pearson held the cup up, we had finally won something since 1930 odd! Great days and great times, only If Ron hadn't walked out on us, we won have won the League, no kidding that's how good that side were that Ron made.

 

Can't believe Les Sealey died 10 years after that final at the age on 43!

I have to agree.

 

Francis achieved third place with Ron's side. I still think to this day that if he had stayed he would have improved that squad a little and we would have won the title.

 

Ya never know.

You just couldn't have a team like that now in the championship because you'd have to sell most of them after being relegated.

That season was the best i'll ever experience.

Football was in a much better state then when it was good managers that made the difference and not money.
