Genuine question I need help with

[Hazardousman]

My old man is having beers with an ex professional footballer tonight who said he scored a pen against us when we lost 3-2 at Wembley, he told me to guess who it was.

Now, the only two results I remember us losing 3-2 at Wembley was 2006 (Leicester?) and in the late 80’s at some point, can’t remember who it was against as I was only 4-5 at the time.

Anybody got any idea who it could be?

Think it was Coventry City. Can't remember the name of the player who if I recall correctly was quite a leggy guy.

We lost 3-2 to Coventry but pretty none were penalties.

We lost 3-2 to Coventry but pretty none were penalties.

Either way both him and my old man sent me a picture mocking the fact we lost 3-2. My old man is a Stoke City supporter so I just sent him a picture of Mark Hughes and Stokes league position along with our last 3 results against them.

Not had a response since.

David Bennett?

Bennett won the pen. 1981 replay. Reeves scored the pen ?

Forgot about the City final, before I was born.

Cheers for that

You sure?

Pretty sure he’s right.

 

[Hazardousman]

Pretty sure he’s right.

But Bennett said we lost? Didn’t we win the 81 cup final? I thought Hoddle scored that cracker of a free kick? I remember watching it on a DVD.

Bennett played for Cov in 87

That was the Saturday game, took a massive deflection off Tommy Hutchison, we were losing at the time, ended up 1-1

Yeah I know we lost in 87, I think my dad (Or Bennett) has it confused.

Basically, he won a pen against us in the 81 final which we went on to win 3-2 against City.

He then played against us for Coventry in 87 which they won 3-2.

So yeah, basically, my Dad is having drinks with Bennett, they are both pissed and talking bollocks lol!
