The first matches in the Full Members' Cup took place.

Of the 27 fixtures in that season's competition prior to the final at Wembley, just two saw attendances of over 10,000, and only 21 out of a possible 44 First and Second Division clubs entered.

A little quiz on naming the winners between 1985 and '92 that I have shared on here before: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1696326/full-members-cup-winners

Doesn't get mentioned often but we came very close to an all East Anglian final in the second year. Both got to the semis.

Nodge lost to Charlton
Us to Blackburn

The Full Members Cup always seemed a bit limp to me.

I went to that Charlton v Naaaridge Semi and Charlton v Blackburn final with my dad & his brother.

At Wembley crowd was something like 40,000, split 25,000 from Blackburn and 15,000 Charlton.
Other than Simon Garner scoring the only other thing I remember was it kicking off outside the ground, despite being out numbered Charlton took it to Blackburn.

Also heard that the SF wasn't a pleasant night for town fans and the Blackburn headwear fashion of the time was a Kepi, but that may just have been someone winding me up.
