Hi everyone,
I am writing a book about the above match - not particularly concentrating on the match itself - more the build up and atmosphere in the city, the players, supporters, officials point of view etc the effect it had on familys / relationships / friendships - how the city celebrated the event etc and how it effected peoples lives.
I am looking to hear from any one who has a story to tell - anything that is linked to this match - whether it is the final itself, the semi finals or the earlier rounds it doesn't matter, anything of interest would be useful.
I am also looking for research material - if anyone has anything that they think might be of use, scrapbooks, photographs, programmes, books, magazines, videos etc I would also be interested.
The book is being backed by Scratching Shed Publications and David Howes, I do not intend it to be a glorification of the greatest day in our clubs history or to get another one over on the black and whites - I would like it to be balanced and from the point of view of the city itself.
I have set up an e-mail address:

If anyone would like to contact me and / or share their story's about this historic occassion please do not hesitate to use the above adress and I will reply to you.
I look forward to your help in celebrating this wonderful moment of history.
