As I type this it is just over an hour to the 40th anniversary of the oft spoken of 1981 FA Cup final replay.
.
I just watched the 9+ minutes on YouTube.. Still brings the goose bumps.
.
50K Spurs fans (probably more TBH) according to Mottie. Most of them like myself and my pals in the centre upper tier behind the goal where Ricky Villa dancing about before scoring the "FA Cup Goal of the 20th Century"
.
That Superman punch/save outside the penalty area by Milija Aleksic would have been a certain sending off these days for sure.
.
As I said elsewhere last week - It was my coming of age as a Tottenham fan, myself and my mates had been up and down the land watching our team throughout the 1970's with a couple of League Cups and a EUFA cup too but after the relegation year this was us back at the big table.
.
So many memories - most good - Some of my pals are not here anymore.
.
Might have to break out a rare couple of beers tomorrow evening.
