SOCIAL MEDIA – MEMORIES OF THE 1985 MILK CUP FINAL, 33 YEARS ON

Christopher Anderson: “What a couple of days! Drove down to Watford from Notts in my brother’s mate’s Audi Quattro in record time. Pity about the result, but the noise from our fans was something else!” Stan Sharp: “Remember going down by train, but the match itself was very poor. Corner’s mistake and Walker’s pen miss stick in the mind.” Gerard Lundie: “Game of footy and banter with Norwich fans and great drink together. Least said about the game the better, but last one with 100,000 fans.”

Mick Brown: “I missed the goal. Was down in the bar getting the drinks for my mate and I. Heard a massive roar and assumed we’d scored. I tried to get past the steward or police with the drinks to get to our seats, but they insisted on seeing my ticket first. I showed them and asked who scored but they wouldn’t say. I got to the seating area, looked up at the scoreboard and felt totally deflated.” Stuart Pearson: “First time I cried at a game.”

Steve Rudd: “First visit to Wembley as a Sunderland fan, never dreamed of getting beat, I was gutted. Life as an SAFC fan has not improved on more visits to the old stadium on further occasions!”

Heather Addison: “Good experience – ended up playing football in the car park with the Norwich fans.”

Alan Oliver: “Excellent day out until the match started.”

David Wilkinson: “Good

weekend away. Shame about the game.”

David Hebson: “We had a team then. Even David Corner was better than half the players we have now. It was a good day, shame about the result, but if West had played we would won!”

Gary Trotter: “I was there with my big bro Brian, it was a great weekend even though we lost! Great memories with a great brother who is not with us now!”

Paul Burdess: “David Corner mistake led to Norwich scoring. Great day out, just a shame about the result.”
