and it was heartbreaking because it was our first sort of like so close to Wembley even though we were doing well in the league and everything but every player wanted to play at Wembley and that night you know we heard the Norwich dressing room singing and dancing and it was really hard to take that we were traveling all that way home not getting to Wembley you know but
It was an experience for us at that time and it made us even more determined to try and get better in cup competitions, which we did over the next couple of years.
But to lose a semi-final win, that one has always rankled in me.
And at United, I think that was the only semi-final that I'd ever lost.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Jimmy Murphy as well.
That was a great move from the doctor to involve Jimmy Murphy into a situation like that, especially with the history that Jimmy had read throughout the club.
I think that was a great move to do that with Jimmy and Jimmy loved that.
Jimmy had one look at Stevie Cullen and after a number of minutes, whatever what it was, he said, sign him.

But not only when I say a right-sided player going forward, the stuff we did going back for us at that time was immense.
And it was a great signing, an absolutely fantastic signing for the money as well.
Great, great move by the duck.
