Liverpool 1-2 Swansea Town
FA Cup Quarter final.
Remember it well. I was 10 years old (going on 11) and in the Cworp (Co-op for the posh people) and they announced the score over the tannoy. Big cheers and shouting ensued.
 
We called it the Kwopp, like the Jurgen Kwopp.

I was only 5 so felt nothing. Then again I suffered no misery when we were robbed in the Semi (I assume we were robbed, we usually are…).
 
My dad was at the semi final and said that the pitch was an absolute quagmire. I remember him saying that the second Preston goal was a lucky fluke from about 30 yards out.
 

Oxford United v Swansea City
