League Cup Win 50th Anniversary Thread

They are showing the shirts with a "V" neck, the shirts back then had round necks!

 

Nice bit of nostalgia...

 

Like it.........even down to the goalkeepers kit being a replica of that day.......no makers logo on the kit, would be better without the Smarkets logo but I suppose they pay for the advertising so can't complain too much......

Top work by the club.....

 

How much? Over for the Barnsley game, might treat myself.

 

Read somewhere they're £66.67.....expensive but due to the complexity of weaving all the names into hoops it's not surprising.......

You might need to reserve one Kerry as they'll probable sell out quickly......

 

Hope no one minds but I'll put this up as a sticky for the week that's in it and merge the other 2 threads that have been posted into this one......

Post your memories, photo's, any snippets about the occasion here......

Here's a link to LFW for an interview done by Clive with the legend that is Mark Lazarus....

Too rich for my blood at that price.

 

I was already pretty committed to the club but as a 10 year old boy the incredible Roy Of The Rovers plot that played out in real life at Wembley ensured that I would be enslaved forever to the questionable pleasure of watching QPR. Was that a good or bad thing? 50 season tickets later I'm still not sure TBH.

 

As a 13 year old, Dad and I listened to the previous two rounds (Leicester, Carlisle & Leicester) on the radio at the kitchen table, and we watched the Wembley Final together on TV. We were so down and depressed at half-time, then so elated at our remarkable 2nd half come-back and victory. It was such an emotional rollercoaster match.

With their First Division lineage, and the fashion they had blown other teams away in the earlier rounds, with 2-0 lead at HT, WBA must have thought the 2nd half would be a cake walk to victory.

The walk to Wembley......

 

Always remember thaat game at Birmingham, one of the best games I ever saw with my dad,

 

Afterwards......all the boys at my school in Kingsbury were talking about it, and how it was so miraculous....Nobody believed me when I said I was there......No girl went to football, especially if she had no brothers to tag along with.

 

Should anyone accidentally buy a 2xl I will buy it off em

 

I remember it well I was minus two lol

 

Mark Lazarus attended a recent event at Wembley as the EFL celebrated 50 years of the League Cup Final being staged at the home of English football.

 

Mark and the twins still looking pretty good. Not sure about the other fella.

 

Blimey, there's a coincidence, his tie is the same as my old school tie which is what I would have been wearing in 1967...

 

It's an even bigger coincidence that the Morgan twins are wearing the same tie in my pic! I think they are QPR commemorative ties Sooper.

 

They must have bought a job lot from my old school when it closed down...
