1982 FA Cup final and replay - were you there? Help needed
at 23:42 20 May 2014

I only started watching Rangers in 1981 and although I went to the semi-final at Highbury I couldn't get a ticket for the final but I did get a ticket on the lower terrace for the replay. We went up to the club in our lunch break and bought them on the day I think. I went with my mate from work in Hammersmith and we left early to get to Wembley and soak up the amazing atmosphere - first time I had ever been there and I had never seen anywhere so big or seen so many people in one place. I don't remember much about the match except we seemed to be all over them for most of the time after their early goal and the game seemed to be over in no time. I do remember really vividly waiting to see Steve Perryman go up the steps to lift the FA Cup and all the lights shining on the trophy and all the flashguns going off and the noise from the Spurs fans. I would love to see someone in a blue and white hooped short do the same one day. I went in 1986 and to Cardiff so have seen us lose 3 finals now and won't be able to be there on Saturday so I am convinced that my bad luck won't rub off on the team this time.
