Apologies if this link has been posted already, I meant to post this closer to the anniversary itself but never got round to it. A good read reflecting on the final.
I went there full of optimism which further increased when Steve Kinsey put us in front. Chelsea equalised and dozens of Chelsea fans came over the barrier from the section to our right and it all kicked off - largely between Chelsea fans and the police. A pyramid of fighting bodies appeared about five rows in front of us and the optimism disappeared with it along with my view of the pitch!
With the day seemingly ruined at 5-1 down, City fans leaving the ground in droves when City do what City do - 3 goals in the dying minutes and a 'look what you could have won' moment in keeping with 'typical city' completes the day. We legged it on the final whistle to catch a train and I remember catching up with some blues who had left with 5 mins to go who couldn't believe we lost 5-4 instead of 5-1, though we still lost at the end of the day!
Anyone else have any memories of the day, I thought it might be my only chance to see City at Wembley as there was no sign of what was to come nearly 3 decades on....
