50 years ago today. The day my mum decided to wear a dress to the Final. A green & yellow dress. When my uncle went to meet my parents, he looked at my dad and said "tell her to get changed". It was a longer sentence than that, but I have removed the expletives.

Anyone know our run to the final that year? I was only five.

I recall Alan Little scoring his only goal for Villa in a difficult away tie at Colchester in the QF.

Only Domestic Cup Final at Wembley that doesn't feature a top flight side.

Although both teams got promoted shortly afterwards.

Watching highlights, former Villa GK Keelan had a cracking game.

My first trip to Wembley. Managed to get two tickets, one for me and another for accompanying adult, after collecting 10 programme coupons.

Second one for me, after going in 1971.

Both times as a shareholder, though I went to all the home games in 70/71, and a lot in 74/75.
