Blimey I was staying at a fire station in Chertsey . The fireman on our shift who had a contact on that station never told us it was deep Chelsea country .
Needless to say our celebrations night before final were somewhat subdued
Ps still feel Bruce should of been afforded privilege of leading the team out

Bernie didn't even make contact. Nicholas cleared the ball IIRC.

WHOOPS, SORRY - WRONG MATCH AT WEMBLEY.
I went to the other final. Coca Cola cup on 6 April 1997.
The company I worked for had a massive contract with Cellnet. I played golf with the UK director responsible for managing the business relationship with Cellnet. He invited me to go along with him. If we had won the plan was for the team to come and celebrate with us in a hospitality room afterwards. We were so close to that. The champagne was still out when we went for a drink after the match. I had one beer and wend home. As I was so gutted.
