Dave, thanks for all the work in starting this thread. However - given the number of responses so far - it does look like others, as with myself, have erased all recall of this particular event from our memory banks. Nonetheless I will offer something from the Colchester United profiles in the shoddy, over-priced programme that spoke so much for the Wembley of those times:  |

Barton we have to remember our history good or bad and I will agree this was a day many would want to forget. In saying that we should be proud of the number of times we have appeared at Wembley and as I said I do feel the next time we go there, we are due a result. At the end of the day we were robbed in this game I feel, but that is football I'm afraid and something we have all had to learn to deal with as supporters of TUFC. Many will still remember the day for other reasons and look at the day as a whole, it was only the journey home that seemed very flat, but hey I have had many such journeys home and found myself asking why I had gone so far just to watch a football match  |

That would be the 'Steve' Buckle mentioned by Mr Thomas in his match report then?!

Excellent stuff Dave - an interesting contrast to Timbo's yearbook from fifty years earlier.
I often say "Plus ca change.." because the underlying themes often remain the same - even if the style changes a little.
Maybe if Ms Chamberlain had been born fifty years earlier, she would have been organising whist drives and dances, whereas if Mrs Gillin and Miss Ryland had been born fifty years later they might have been getting their ar*es tattooed.
