Sheff Wed 2-2 Man Utd replay Man Utd 2-7 Sheff Wed Everton 2-2 Sheff Wed replay Sheff Wed 0-3 Everton Sheff Wed 1-1 Leeds replay Leeds 1-3 Sheff Wed Sheff Wed 1-1 Crystal Palace replay Palace 1-1 Sheff Wed 2nd replay at Villa Park Palace 2-3 Sheff Wed after extra time Sheff Wed 1-1 Arsenal replay Arsenal 1-1 Sheff Wed 2nd, 3rd & 4th replays all at Filbert St went 2-2 3-3 and finally Sheff Wed 0-2 Arsenal. Our Cup run to Wembley deserves a mention for the fact that we never got a single home draw.In that run the game at Blackburn springs to mind; There had been heavy overnight snow this side of the Pennines and a similar mix of rain and snow in Blackburn. The game was in so much doubt that the gates were not opened until 2-45 and groundsmen were forking the pitch until the minute before kickoff. In all honesty the game should have been called but we won 2-1 to avenge our earlier semi-final defeat a few years earlier. The following year we were unlucky to fall at Stamford Bridge where we were knocked out by a very late goal. Astonishingly we took almost 22k fans to that game in a 52k crowd. Our League Cup success caused a little consternation along the way. Disappointingly only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Derby but who amongst us will ever forget the 35 yard wonder strike from John Harkes that gave England keeper Shilton no chance. The Palace one was in the 4th round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there too; brilliant night but the downer was the Birmingham beer (dunno if it was Ansells or Brew 10). It was chuffing rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 11 hours ago, OWL1969 said: Great memories from the Cup. 1st memory of the Cup Arsenal at Hillsborough and then the 4 replays. 1st away match, Cambridge away 5th Round 83, 2-1 win 2 goals for a certain ginger (his name escapes me). Next round Burnley away, gutted that my Dad couldn't get tickets, but the replay at Hillsborough wow what a night! 5 nil and the atmosphere. I recall the crowds trying to get in to the kop and a copper letting my Dad come in with me in the kids bit, because he (the copper) didn't think I was safe on my own (I was 13 but was tiny and looked about 10). Then the semi at Highbury, Brighton, the anticipation, the trip down there, Blue & White everywhere, the atmosphere again and then the heartbreak, the only time I've cried at the football apart from Cardiff 2005 (and that was because my Dad wasn't there) But that was the start of my love affair with "The Cup" 1984 Southampton Qf the 1st time live on Tv at Hillsborough Replay despite playing very well a 5-1 defeat maybe next year. 1986 West Ham Qf again what a night Onto the Semi, Villa Park, Everton a great team at the time but surely this time we would do it, Shutt's almost instantly reply, now I know we will do it, better side but alas not to be, more heartbreak. 1987 Coventry at home Qf of Cup and I'm working! Much to my bosses displeasure at 3 o clock I have only ears for the radio, surely we can beat Coventry 1-3 always next year. 1988 Everton at home time for revenge, for 86 and even before my time 66, 3 close games all end 1 all, the 4th chance after 2 away games back to Hillsborough playing Chamberlain in place of Madden, we'll do it this time 0-5 maybe not then! Fast forward to 1993. Sunderland home their keeper gifts us a last minute winner. Another visit to my 1st away ground Cambridge another 2-1 win Derby away 3 all in an amazing game great atmosphere and a replay at Hillsborough, the winners to have not only a semi final but a Semi final against the Blades. Warhurst again. Semi final to be held at Elland Road, whilst others Semi to be held at Wembley, Sheffield football fans unite to get the game at Wembley, again the build up like nothing before blue & white scarves and red & white scarves been flown out of car windows for weeks prior to the match, the journey down Sheffield departing on mass to London, those unfortunate to not get tickets stood on bridges over the parkway and M1 and waving the fans off. The actual match, the most one sided game you will ever see, agony as chance after chance go begging or are somehow saved, the feeling that it must come soon or maybe it just isn't our day and they will somehow sneak one, then the ecstasy, the joy and the relief what a game, infact what a day, never to be forgotten. The Final Arsenal in a rematch of the League Cup, over 2 matches and 210 minutes there was agony, ecstasy, agony, ecstacy, a great chance missed, agony and finally absolute heartbreak, but pride in both the team and the supporters, then to compound it all a bloody soaking on the way back to the car. We will be back next year. Ok, maybe not in the next 25 years, but one day though, believe me one day. Sorry about the length of my reply, but these are just a few memories of what was (and still should be) the greatest Cup competition the world has ever seen, shame the FA, the managers, the players and even the fans don't seem to care anymore but I will always love the Cup and nobody can those memories away of when the Cup really meant something happy days indeed. Roll on Luton. I was ball boy at the Kip End for the Southampton game in 84. Wore a pair of brand new gleaming white trainers so I could be seen on TV. Got on to the pitch near corner flag to retrieve a ball that had cannoned off the advertising hoardings. Still have the VHS. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replay when Ian Knight had his career ended with an audible legbreaker. Wasn’t the away end basically a grass bank and by full-time we couldn’t keep our footing and kept sliding towards the bottom?

It will in mine too - absolutely without a doubt the worst game I’ve ever seen. Tried to get on Football Heaven to say we’d done well to hold a club with such an illustrious history - think they might’ve sussed that I was on the wee wee take 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think much of the pitch though. Was there, great memories especially Vic Mobley hopping up and down the pitch after getting injured early (no substitutes in those days). As mentioned the state of the pitch but the ground like Hillsborough was having improvements done for the upcoming World Cup and was like a building site.
