I was behind the goal that night. To this day I have never celebrated a goal like we did that goal. I swear I levitated. I mean genuinely levitated. It was a surreal and momentous occasion. When the FA cup seemed to matter so much more.

It was respected back then and considered as the best domestic cup competition in the World with the added cachet of going into the European "Cup Winners" Cup to be amongst other domestic cup winning teams of all shapes and sizes.
.. not 4th placed league finishers who get amongst the "Champions League" hoi polloi.

8 years of nothing and then 2 FA cup wins back to back! That of course was when the FA cup meant something.

Yes....spot on, i was behind the goal too,and the whole end went absolutely mental like no other goal celebration i have ever witnessed either.
It was the first time i ever saw us lift a trophy......it was and still is the most magical night i have experienced at a match.
I watched this cup final on a Betamax tape my granddad had at his house along with the QPR final replay and the nights of pretty much every game of the david pleat coventry fa cup final season - I didn't know what happened in any of these matches at the time so it was kinda like being there - well sorta just 6 years top late
Fantastic goal, can't actually think of a goal scored in a major final that contributed directly to the winning of it that can compare to it - van Basten in 88 is probably on a level due to a different kind of technique but still a truly amazing goal and any fan old enough to have seen it live, let alone be at Wembley for it are fortunate indeed

It was difficult to see Steve Perryman lifting the cup because of the lights around the royal box (tv cameras)
but it was enough to enjoy.

Cheap skate go and buy the DVDs. I was playing semi pro football at the time and managed to get tickets for both games, and was able to take my Dad who had an angina attack when Villa scored so a moment in football that i will never forget. Dad was Ok by the way after an ambulance guy gave him some asprin, but i missed the cup being lifted.

I was also behind the goal that night. Some sick perverted bastard kept feeling me up. Having read through the thread I have my suspicions as to who that might have been

The old boy was a bit stiff.
As for moving - when that goal went in I was tossed and tossed - up and down and didn't know
me arse from me elbow. A giant roly poly melee !
