I was there in the East stand with a young nephew of my wife….who has since become a West Ham fan…as you do if you have lived all your life in Bournemouth
Those FA Cup games were fabulous, repeat this year please, with a better end result

Given that young lad I took to the game is now in his 50s I think you may be right!All seems a long time ago........

First ever game, first time I have seen the goal as I was buried in bodies in the East stand. I became an addict since that day and I cant find a cure.

At Leeds Saturday and even they play a pre-match montage of trophies they've won. It's embarrasing at home as we sit and watch nothing, nothing at all (was Gary Lineker on strike in 1910 when we won something?). Why do we get excited about a game 40 years ago? Because we nearly won something, that's why. You cant sing 'it's coming home' with '113 years of hurt, 113 years of dreaming!'
Time to put some silver in the trophy room, wait, have we got a trophy room?
EDIT How many clubs have their own wiki page all about their trophy wins?

Was at the top of the north stand that day, was impressed with the amount of Norwich next to us. Great surge when we scored.

I remember the semi final better and all the Case cardboard signs handed out before the game for some strange reason.
My dad’s mate took one and said ‘ I’ll be holding that up if he scores’. He didn’t hVe to wait long.

I saw it from the top floor of one of the houses. Having failed to get in, as luck would have it, my brother in law had a key to one of the houses which was being renovated and he was working on it.

Heady days indeed….I think being 40 years younger then makes them more so than today s great achievements
