A monumental performance considering the schedule they were in and the weekend we’d just had. Kevin Steggles putting a shift in , a great Cruyff turn by Mills , crucial saves from Cooper, Brazil full of running, and the two Bobby’s looking chuffed and proud. Magnificent.

That was sum performance and result!
Hopefully some poster#who were there can give us some memories
Memories.... My mate telling us he had just had the car fully serviced & checked as it overheated driving onto the ferry at Felixstowe. Getting a beer in Mcdonalds Going to a nightclub & being given a sticker card & not paying for anything until you left the club.

I listened to the match on medium wave radio, the reception coming and going not doing much for my nerves. When Butch scored, my reaction was to run up and down the stairs screaming. TWTD.

I was there. Great day in Cologne before the match, Great support from the Ipswich fans , the amount of Town fans were swelled by a lot of squadies which were stationed locally. There was some fighting between them and the Germans after the game. I remember getting off the coach in a long avenue which had tall trees down both sides, thought we would easily find our coach not realising there were several identical avenues. Spent alot of time going up and down the avenues! We were last ones back on the coach just in time as the coach was leaving for the ship. Great result against a very good Cologne team. Great days.

These highlights go quite a long way to answering the question that was asked here a week or two ago: "what sort of player was Alan Brazil?" A lot of people mentioned his coolness in front of goal, but look at the strength of the man all over the pitch!

(I think Pierre Littbarski is my all-time favourite footballer's name.)
That was one hell of a side. I knew that Woodcock played for them, but not the many other internationals and the world-famous manager. Similar to St. Etienne in the previous round.

Brilliant might ,I was there, what a side that was, we really should have had the treble that year... just needed a couple more Steve McCalls in the club and I'm sure we would have too. I was at Middlesbrough and Maine Road and I honestly can't believe how we managed to lose both.

I think the cup semi-final was at Villa Park? Apart from that, you are right. We had by far the best side, but didn't have the depth in the squad, and we ended up with players having to play with injuries.

Looking at the fixtures, I'm a bit surprised at who was in it. FIVE West German teams (and three East German). Only two Italian, - the two Turin clubs. Two French. Wolves and Manchester United went out in the first round.

Apologies of course it was Villa Park....Maine Rd was their ground which I foolishly stated.... That free kick was like being punched very hard in the guts....

Both Littbarski and Butcher, with a similar number of caps, were at the very start of their careers then, but the others in the Cologne team were already well-established stars so the experience of Cologne was even greater proportionately than those final International career-figure stats suggest.

Got away with a few bits of poor defending didn’t we!
Our 3rd division defenders would get absolutely slaughtered on here if they gave away 3 free headers like that!
I think the 5 games in 10 days, plus the extra time of the Man City game, plus the travelling, was a factor, so I’ll let them off! Beattie gone, Thijssen not seen again till the Final, Gates off after 10 minutes against Arsenal. It was beginning to take its toll.

But we just knew Paul Power would score didn’t we! I was right behind the goal - an absolute gut wrencher.

Yeah - the SBR proudly proclaims that Bobby signed only 13 players, but the thinness of the squad overtook us in the end, didn't it? We were so much better than Villa, playing football they weren't capable of, but that squad limitation, doubtless an indication of our smallness as a club, did for us in the end. Gut-wrenching indeed.

Half time at Middlesbrough seemed like we were going to get our just reward in the league too..... couldn't see anyway we were losing that with Villa 2 down at Arsenal.
