Latics4lifenotjustxmas Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Wow time flies, can't believe it's 25 years ago to the day 29th April 1990 since we lost to Nottingham Forest at Wembley in the Littlewoods League Cup Final. I will never forget that day, one of the proudest moments of my life especially when big Joe led the team out onto the hallowed turf.

thetramfixer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 ..... especially when big Joe led the team out onto the hallowed turf. What I liked about that (and it's oh so subtle) is that as the teams come out, Brian Clough looks a little ahead of Joe yet slows down and allows him to take his rightful place level with him if not a little in front. In my eyes I've always seen it as a very respectful gesture from him and Cloughy acknowledging the journey we had to get there. Fantastic memories!!

Clough was very gracious afterwards as well, saying how much of a scare Latics had given him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 What a day. I make no apologies for admitting I cried at full time. If only Steve Sutton hadn't made that save from Andy Ritchie's left foot cracker, it could have been oh so different. I remember Cloughie saying that Oldham should have been allowed to play in Europe after the run we'd had and he reckoned the Latics fans would have done us proud abroad. Incredible memories.

ghostofcecere Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I remember standing in my seat at full time taking a good look around Wembley thinking I needed to take the moment in......... little did I realise we'd be back 4 years later!

stargazer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Starting Frank Bunn instead of the injured Ian Marshall was a very poor decision . Roger should have started imo . Still recall bumping into my boss and family members at the ground .......all aboard the bandwagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Bumped into the great Alan Williams, father of Gary, on the concourse before the game.
