Wow! Still photos of the action, as well as a photo of Wembley Stadium as it was 40 years before the league cup final.

I was a 12 year old Swindon fan, there with my Dad standing at the end where Rogers scored the 3rd goal. Unforgettable day.

Did you enjoy the match

Yes the big boys are bored by the league cup but ask the fans of Birmingham, Oxford, QPR, Norwich, Bradford, Swansea etc, etc whether they think it doesn't matter ! And Tottenham's inclusion in the plans for the European Super League can only have been based on the league cup 😂 ..and incidentally I remember Swindon winning 5-1 at Reading that season - they were a good side !

[@ytanonymity3585]

Swindon basically invented "Park The Bus" system with their 7-2-1 and sometime 9-1-0 formation in this cup competition 😂

50 years ago and you still haven’t got over it. That’s so funny.
