In terms of sweetness can the win over MU be bettered after having being such massive underdogs.

Vague childhood memories of '77 and was living abroad in '96 and had to get the result by phone after the final whistle. '94 was fantastic, it's a shame it's only 'an egg cup' and 'they didn't care about it'. Strange they didn't care about being the first team in history to do the domestic treble. I seem to remember seeing a few of the expressions on the faces of their supporters after the game and they looked like they cared at the time. The thrase 'Pig sick' springs to mind.

Wow.

I can remember the 71 final against Tottenham.  I was 10. We were season ticket holders but Dad could only get seats for me and my sisters and he had to stand behind the goal.  I was ok until we met up with him after the game, whereupon I burst into tears.

For the Norwich game (by which time I was 15) we stood together behind the goal, in the lower section.  What a crush.  Dad lost his watch when we scored.

Old Trafford 1977.  This time, me, dad and my sisters were together.  What a glorious night.

Thanks Dad.

Toss up between Tottenham and Leeds.
Tottenham was my 1st Wembley, we were in the 3rd division and matched, even out played at times, a strong Spurs team. Andy Lochead had one cleared off the line at 0-0, agonisingly Spurs scored just after.
The support was fantastic, There fans had left before us and they'd won.
Leeds, we saw one of the best cup final goals from Savo, and Ian Taylors goal bought tears to my eyes.

1994.

Massive underdogs, but I always fancied us to beat Man Utd. Unlike last year, when I fully expected to us to lose.

Has to be 1994 for me. To beat United and stop them doing the treble was oh so sweet. Just edged out 1996 against Leeds.

I went to 94, 96, 2010

94, outstanding memory of that game is Bosnich's amazing save from Mark Hughes' shot when it was 2-1, I was in the crowd right behind it, and its still the best save I have ever seen.

96 Savo's goal, watching the ball hit the net at the far end, followed by what seemed like a couple of seconds of stunned silence, then ending up on the floor with my mates drunken dad on top of me tearfully screaming "Its Savo! Its Savo!!"
