BSAD imageBSAD report: This isn’t a match report as such. But then, this wasn’t like any other Watford occasion. So here, all rambling and incoherent, are some of my Cup Final memories. Committed to paper before my recollection of them flickers and fades completely.

BSAD image BSAD: My memories of this great day are few – largely because I was only eleven at the time. Having endured the sixth round victory against Birmingham on Ceefax I was allowed to go to the semi final. When he draw came out we had Derby or Plymouth – the dream ticket.

BSAD image BSAD report: I was refused entry to the Watford end (all-ticket) and so got into the home end. I’d done it before – kept quiet, clapped the save when all around were clapping the shot etc., but that day it was a bit difficult.

The game wasn’t shown on TV and the club’s usual cameraman was ill on the day of the game as explained in the programme for the following league game against Stoke so there is no known video footage of the match.
