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 one cluns victory over another - I would like it to be balanced and from the point of view of the city itself.
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.
The DVD available from the rovers club shop has all the build up shown on the bbc

Looking back I can remember going to the match with a school trip and then we were turned loose in London after the match to " go and enjoy ourselves" for three hours
ha ha i could not see that happening today could you LOL
But to be fair Lindop was awful and anyone who has seen the video would agree!!, BUT the city won that day as a whole .
We'd have won if there'd been video refs in those days. I went with school, got dragged in front of the headmaster on the following Monday for using foul and abusive language on a school trip. W@nker was a rovers fan
