Up for the Cup ! On this day in 1950.

The year I was born

Before beginning their defence of the trophy, the Wolverhampton Wanderers team walked around the Home Park pitch, proudly parading the FA Cup in front of the 40,000 crowd. The trophy was famously strapped to a stretcher which was carried by two St John Ambulance Brigade volunteers [photo]. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Wolves winning the replay 3-0.

Sleeping Giant...............

Complete indifference there from the Argyle faithful. Not much change there then.

1950 my arse.

My old man was there, bit before my time. It cracks me up they couldn't find two men of the same height to parade the cup around the ground, it also makes it look like its injured.
