One of my favourite players. Geoffrey Green of the Telegraph described him as "Like a mini-skirted ghost" on the left wing. Badly affected by a bad tackle by Gilzean of Spurs I seem to remember.
My Uncle Charlie knew Bobby Robson so got me a ticket. He posted it to my dad in Haughley but it got held up and didn't arrive till the morning of the final. I was in Saffron Walden and decided I couldn't collect the ticket and get to Wembley in time. So I watched on my black and white portable TV. I was recently married and enjoyed the match with my wife so I don't regret it. I still have the unused ticket.
My first away game, Feb 1968. Brilliant 4-3 win, sad budgies at b(r)eakfast in hotel next morning. Manager Bill McGarry saw way to get promotion later that season.
Went to Bristol City to "See us get three points" but some kids called Cole and Rosenior had other ideas. Then I had to work instead of going to Oxford. Never mind.
