Stoke city , played 12 matches on route to win the 1971 league cup

4 were against West Ham.

Played united 3 times and at old Trafford against West Ham Bobby more saved a penalty.

Even played united twice in the fa cup

AKA the 1972 League Cup

It is on muddy pitches with rock hard footballs for a tanner a week and an orange at half time.

Stoke even took part in the 3rd place play of in the fa cup that season against Birmingham..

Were only in the play off thanks to a goal that was yards offside but allowed to stand for Arsenal in the semi final.

jimnast, please explain, bobby moore saved a penalty

No subs either

Not sure when it changed but in the 68 European cup final jimmy rimmer was the substitute as only goalkeepers were allowed to be number 12

Bobby Ferguson was kicked in the head,had to go off,Moore took over
in goal.
