@Airman Brown or anybody, do you know how many we took to Wembley for the 1987 Full Members cup final? I think the official attendance was 40,000. I can remember that Blackburn had considerably more than us.
I was one
Was my first trip to Wembley.
Ralph Milne had a mare and I remember joining in with a group of Addicks leaving the stadium singing;
'We thought we were good, But we were sh*t, oh so sh*t'
Never understood why Man U bought him from us, but so pleased they did
They didn't he went to Bristol City after us (can't remember if we sold him or just couldn't afford his food & lager bill) Somehow he started playing well for them & Man U stepped in & bought for about 70k i think. He scored one goal for the mancs have a guess who against ? Yup of course it was us :-(
To be fair when in Scotland (was it Aberdeen he played for?) he was looking good & helped them reach the final & I think win the Cup winners cup.
Guess he was another victim of Charltonization.

I don't remember too much about the crowd other than it certainly wasn't as big as some of the other finals and me, my brother and a few mates were there.
The "big" story in the build up to the match was whether Mark Stuart would be fit as I think he'd been suffering from measles (or it may have been some other illness ... it was a long time ago!).

Dundee Utd rather than Aberdeen mate. Also, Man Utd paid £175k to sign him from Bristol City. And, Dundee United were Runners up in the UEFA Cup final.
Other than that, you weren’t far wrong
In your defence, you thought it was Aberdeen, and they did win the cup winners cup in 1983 - just not with Ralph Milne!
