Head Count - Did you attend the 1983 FA Cup Semi Final v Sheff Wed?

[Withdean and I]

Just fun to find out who was there?
I was...Clock End with my Dad. Afterwards on an underground train full of Wednesday. Had to look very sad!
The match was the best Albion experience ever though!!!

 

[Blackadder]

I was in the Clock End.

Marvellous day! can still see Jimmy Case's free kick in the first half!

They had good singers. We had good players!

 

[Juan Albion]

Yep, count me in.

Strange after the game seeing so many people in blue and white but only half of them smiling their heads off.

 

[Titanic]

Yes, Clock End, with 2 of my brothers

 

[Hunting 784561]

Yup. Stood at the bottom of the main stand across from the clock end. Hot day. Amazing free kick from Case. Marvelous scenes...

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

No, I was only 3, but I've got the programme if that counts for anything?

 

[chez]

I was there, dont think it was the clock end though. I was standing at the end in which Jimmt scored his rocket.

 

[Kent Seagull]

Yeah I was there, can't believe it was twenty years ago though.

What a day that was!

 

[beardy gull]

Chez, that was the Clock End. I was right underneath it.

 

[Padders]

I was there, fantastic atmosphere is the thing I remember most.

 

[Fran Hagarty]

I was there. Agreee, the atmosphere was fantastic and the Wednesday fans were brilliant.

 

[Percy Tantrums]

I was there. I had a perfect view of Case's free-kick. A perfect day.

 

[Seagull Stew]

I was there. Ten years old, and had only been an Albion supporter a few months. I just assumed it would be the first of many semi-finals that I would be to in my lifetime.

 

[Icy Gull]

Hot day, full house, great atmosphere,close game and a cracking goal from Case ending in a Cup Final place. Doesn't get much better.

 

[wally_gould]

I was there with my brother. After we won and outside highbury I remember this old bloke bashing his walking stick on the ground repeatedly and shouting "60 fuc**** years i've waited for this".
It took us all days to get our heads around the fact the the Albion where actually in the FA Cup Final.

 

[Gwylan]

I was there. I lived around the corner from Highbury at the time so it was particularly sweet for me.

Was there with my dad and some of my mates and was walking on air for days afterwards.

I don't keep all my Albion programmes but still have that one and the final one (of course).

 

[syrup head]

Oh yes. I remember it well!

Grandstand seat. Right in line with the flight of Case's freekick. Knew it was in from the moment it left his boot.

Our win was down to Mose's save. Still can't believe he got to it.

 

[El Presidente]

There in the Albion end, our vocal support was pathetic, remember Fozzie getting stroppy in the second half when Wednesday equalized and we went silent, waving his arms at the fans trying to get us to sing.

JC's goal was fantastic, it curled away from the keeper into the corner of the net, sheer talent and power

 

[pasty]

Pasty was there. I was behind the goal that Jimmy's free kick went into. I actually ducked !

I was living in Lincolnshire at the time (RAF posting) and had to go back "home" on a train full of Wendy fans. Needless to say I kept pretty quiet. I had to do the same after the cup final replay as well - went back on a train full of ManUre supporters.
