I will never, ever forget as a 14 year-old schoolboy, away at boarding school, the total excitement and disbelief of that season – the semi-final against Burnley perhaps even more than the final….for my team (and I was the only STFC supporter there, so took a lot of crap!!) just to get to Wembley was so completely amazing…..I still have the complete set of little tin badges of the players, bought from Don Rogers Sports….and a print of the cover of the programme for the final hangs in our toilet (whereas the signed di Canio photo has been hidden away!!!
