Cup finals can be a bit like old holiday photographs.
You never imagine in the midst of all the revelry that one day an older, wiser you will be looking back, laughing and cringing in equal measure at the naff fashion and hairstyles, bowled over by the grainy picture quality and the frighteningly quick passage of time.
