Football Memories - 1975

The 1974/5 season was the first year that I made regular visits to Upton Park and it turned out to be a great season, we finished a respectable 13th and won the FA cup.
I managed to get a ticket for the Semi final but didn't have the money to go to the replay and couldn't get a ticket for the final.
We had beaten Arsenal at Highbury 2-0 with Alan Taylor scoring twice in the 6th round but were still underdogs for this game as Ipswich were top 3.
This game at Villa park ended up 0-0, the replay at Stamford Bridge saw us win 2-1 with Taylor again scoring twice.
The final saw us beat Fulham 2-0 with Taylor again the hero :)

I did manage to get a ticket for the Charity shield at the start of the next season where we were beaten 2-0 by League champions Derby.
