Absolutely! When the F.A. Cup final was an institution in itself - an integral part of our lives and the biggest, most eagerly awaited day in the football calendar, irrespective of which teams were playing. Today, it has been devalued and disrespected with absolutely no respect for its glorious tradition. Yeah, times must change say the money-grabbing leechers.

I love how simple football was in this era. Players were down to earth and played for each other and the fans. Goals were usually a simple beat a man and cross it in for a header or controlled finish. Love how players even shook hands and got up quickly after late challenges. Would love football to be more like this today

But football as a professional sport has moved on. Players are fitter and the game is faster. Personally I prefer that to watch but that doesn't mean I don't miss these days of football because I definitely do.

In his autobiography, Andy Gray says that he and most of his Everton team mates played the 1985 Cup final under the effects of massive hangovers. The team had won the Cup Winners Cup three days earlier and were on a bender pretty much up to the night before they were due to play Manchester United at Wembley. To make matters worse, the game went to extra time before they were beaten.

It is sad that these days we do not see too many acts of sportsmanship as Gary Mabbut did, shaking the hands of his opponents after the final whistle, despite his own goal and disappointment at not winning. As a comment said, those were the days when football was really a sport and not all about money, as the recent, thankfully rejected, European Super League showed. Rest In Peace to the Coventry City Manager, who has just died. Winning the FA Cup was an achievement that he was rightly proud of.

In 1987 the FA Cup final was between Tottenham Hotspurs (odds on favourites) and my team Coventry City. During the week leading up to the final I was on holiday in Spain and was booked to return to the UK on Friday. On arriving at Malaga airport on Friday we were told the flight had been cancelled and we were re-booked on a flight to return to the UK the next day, Saturday!!! By coincidence the flight coincided with the Cup final time wise and so I, tongue in cheek, asked the flight attendant whether the pilot could tune in to the BBC, who would have a commentary on the game, and perhaps let me know the scores. A few minutes later the Pilot came down to see me and having established I was a City fan and he was an Arsenal fan (with a mutual dislike for Spurs) he agreed he would let me know what was happening during the match. He achieved this by using the intercom so not only I but the rest of the passengers also knew what was happening in the match. At the final whistle he said condolences to any Spurs supporters (I am sure he was smiling) but there is a very happy Coventry supporter amongst us. Michael congrats to your team. I am sure my face turned a bright red. A few minutes later the flight attendant appeared with a bottle of Champagne, unopened. Some flights are special

Came here today to watch this finest moment in CCFC's history. We won the Checkatrade tin pot cup yesterday, our club is heading to the old div 4, no stadium and nowhere to play as SISU have fallen out with the owners Wasps, training ground up for sale for housing, academy soon to be homeless and our loss of cat 2 status, no investment in the team and the farming out of any academy talent at undisclosed fees and the money going into a void....I could go on but it is too depressing. Nearly 10 years of a football club being dismantled while SISU fight in the courts with anyone they can to get their hands on their original goal. The Ricoh and the surrounding ground to flip for a profit and not only did they withhold rent, try to put a charity into administration and threaten to take the statue of Jimmy Hill outside the Ricoh (paid for by fans) but also the memorial garden where fan's ashes are spread with them when they had a tantrum and stormed off to Sixfields. The catalog of mistreatment of fans, the club and the city of Coventry by this hedge fund is astounding but the thing that gets me the most is the lack of any action from the FL. SISU are not fit to own a football club and the FL are absolutely complicit in letting this nightmare occur. Today it's us and tomorrow it could be you. Football needs to change!

When football was football. So much better in this day when going to Wembley meant something. The FA Cup winners should qualify for the Champions League. Very unfortunate that the Cup is seemingly relegated in most punters eyes (although not the managers as there's always a top team getting there. The old adage "we can concentrate on the league if we lose" is now believed - thus diminishing the cup. But it shouldnt. Is it the foreign managers and players? Doubtful as the top, top overseas managers always seem to get to the finals. More the fault of piddling mid-table teams who think if they have a good cup run it will affect their league form. All I know is that most cups abroad wernt looked upon with the same ferver as the FA Cup but now it's seemingly been relegated along with cup competitors elsewhere in Europe. But make the winners qualify for Champions League and the problems solved. Above all, you dont get a commerative scart or a trophy in your cabinet from scraping Premier League survival

I don't think that would sort the problem. What hope does a team have in the Champions League if you're say...Hull and win the FA Cup? Financially yes, but romantically, no. And that's what the cup had - romance. The reason the FA Cup was so popular was because there WAS NO Champions League. I would also argue that more British players meant that it meant more to them.

I grew up watching all the cup finals at Wembley in the 70’s and early 80’s and went to the stadium to watch England beat Scotland 3-1 in 1978. Seems like all the atmosphere has gone now the new stadium is in place. An expat watching in S Florida.

the first fa cup final I remember watching (on tv). spent the whole day buzzing. nothing is more important. videoed the match on my dad's swanky VCR which had touch-sensitive buttons (rare back then) and spent every day for about the next 3 months watching it back. memorised most of the commentary. (and I'm a man u fan?).

Have supported Coventry City for over 50 years. Best day ever for the club, in my opinion. Have seen lean times before and afterwards. What a management team - simpler times, less analysis, scrutiny, etc. played with heart, commitment, and part of a simple process.

...and a team assembled for a pittance after the likes of HATEley, Thompson and Co. upped and left the season before. A pity we didn't get to play in Europe; all thanks to Liverpool's beloved, always well behaved fans.

Had been a Sky Blues fan since 1973, but in 1987 had already booked a holiday in Scotland beginning on Cup Final day, and did not know the result until the evening! Still, I can always say that I was amongst a handful of fans who saw them beat Bolton in the 3rd round that year. I lived in Stockport, by the way!

Notice how Regis just accepts the decision aswell. He's disappointed but he just accepts it and gets on with it. Nowadays the entire Coventry team would surround the ref protesting. Agree though, it should have stood.

As I watch this I can't help but think of that old Monty Python Skit; "So we'll go onto you Che. Che Guevara - Coventry City last won the FA Cup in what year? No? I'll throw it open. Coventry City last won the FA Cup in what year? No? Well, I'm not surprised you didn't get that. It was in fact a trick question. Coventry City have never won the FA Cup." No longer a trick question.

They lost against the arsenal in the semis of the league cup as well. It was the start of arsenals greatest period in football times as far as i remember. Beeing in the mix for league and national and international cups from 1987 to 1995. Georges Graham the legend. And figuring out for what reason he was sacked...a joke if you compare with what's going on nowadays where nothing nothing at all is done to prevent frauds in all parts of the game. scandalous.

This result still jars with me after all these years, it was a game Spurs were expected to win and perhaps the players were a bit complacent. However Coventry had beaten Spurs 4-3 in an earlier league encounter so the warning signs were there. Too many of our players went missing, Hoddle, Hodge and Waddle started brightly but faded. Our defence couldn't cope with little Micky Gynn who kept running at Gough all afternoon. Actually this was the start of a poor run as we had a poor 87 88 season, with Pleat being sacked, we lost Hoddle and Gough and Allen and Hodge lost their form, we lost again to Coventry on the first game of season and went out to Port Vale in the mud in the 4th round FA cup!

David Myers we recovered briefly in 89/90 with a third place finish but apart from the fa cup win in 1991, Spurs fell into a massive hole for almost the next 20 years, only managing to dig ourselves out during the Redknapp years and finally now with pochettino. The 90’s and noughties were a dark time for spurs fans

Oh yes the glory days of The FA Cup. When The FA Cup Final was THE penultimate game of the season. Where the twin towers of Wembley made players heroes and villains. BBC and ITV would broadcast Cup Final day from 11:00 in the morning. Des Lynam and Jimmy Hill on BBC1 and Saint and Greavsie on ITV.Where players like Keith Houchen made history and put Coventry City into football folklore. Nowadays the importance of winning The FA Cup has gone. But thanks to Luton and Macclesfield its sill magic.
