Right-back Joe Kinnear, centre-half Mike England and outside right Jimmy Robertson – our opening goalscorer in the 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the Wembley final – were all in fine fettle as they recounted tales of that magical cup run under the tutelage of the great Bill Nicholson.
Joined by legendary midfielder Alan Mullery, who operated at right-half during that period and eventually took over the club captaincy from the iconic Dave Mackay, the group cheerfully recounted the events leading up to our triumph against the Blues, in which Frank Saul also hit the target for us before Bobby Tambling pulled one back with five minutes to go.
