I had the radio out in the back garden whilst kicking a ball around for the first half and then spent a nervy second half listening indoors. I was a VP for the first leg.

There was a memorable (and worrying at first glance) back page national headline before the final reading 'Villa Out Of Final'. It actually referred to Ricky Villa, Spurs, the FA cup final and the Falklands conflict.
