Turnstile A, entrance 34, Row 10, Seat 23. Half way line-ish opposite Royal Box, compliments of Sir Giles Stille.

Had a 'posh' seat right on the half-way line, £20 I think it was! Right in line with Wilkins curler,
I think I was near you, but a bit closer to the goal that Smith and Wilkins scored in! Wasn't able to go to the replay - my dads mate who used to take me to games didn;t fancy going up, and so I watched it on my own at home, and bawled my eyes out. I was 14, and that was the first time I experienced genuine hatred to a player - N.Whiteside. Watching him score/celebrate etc having finished Ramsey on the Saturday was all too much!! Was bringing Fozzie back a mistake or would we have got hammered anyway??

Where were you 32 years ago today? Obvious where I was in the upper tier behind the goal.

I was at home with my foam hand ,my dad drove up to Manchester the night before to get his tickets from a man u director ,at the time my dad worked for SAAB ,and the director had one ! mind you he was on his own in the man u end !

Halfway and Smith must score was to my left. In the gods behind a goal for the replay.

I must have been sat next to you and then stood next to you. Did your bus get lost on the Saturday and late for the replay?

Practising and building upon my outlandish vocabulary. Out of nappies and about to start nursery.

Not being a season ticket holder did not try to obtain a ticket for the match,my chief who had no interest in football at all said a neighbour of his who was a referee had a ticket but was not interested, he passed it on to me,no charge!!!!!!!!!! how things have changed.

Upper tier, about 12 terraces/steps up, with my parents and friends. In line with the left hand post, so saw Smith's header nestle into the corner perfectly.......

Watching in a university TV room in increasing disbelief and ultimate despair.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Upper Tier,but shamefull how some United were in the lower tier.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Only thing that I remember was our coach and a United coach side by side trying to get out of the car park.
Their fans were a fecking disgrace{willies out in front of kids } and I've hated them(not the team) ever since.

In Baghdad Airport construction camp; watching on Iraqi TV (BBC feed) with sound turned off and commentary from BBC World Service.

Went by tube on Sat, working so very late on replay priorities all wrong! Never thought it would take this long to get back................
