I met Chris Nicholl after going on a stadium tour a couple of years ago. He told me the players got a bonus for every cup final they played in back then. Because it went to 3 games Doug had to pay them 3 times. Of course he didn't like that so contracts changed after that and it became cup final wins instead of appearances.

After all the excitement of the QPR games, the occasion got to me.
In London the night before the game, drinking from early morning, so pissed I fell over and went to sleep on the terrace before half time.
Mates woke me up at the end, probably the best option.
Wide awake for the replays, Old Trafford, A night to remember.
