1987 was sadly before my time as i was only 5 when we lifted the cup. But the 87 Final was a great end-to-end match (i have it on VHS), and apparently the semi-final with Leeds was even better, although I've not seen the full match. The quarter final at Sheffield Wednesady, again at Hillsborough was also pretty superb. City fans had the Leppings Lane End on this occasion and took a huge following, and a disaster type scenario was narrowly averted a couple of years early. People who were there have said it was decidedly hairy.

We also turned Manchester United over at Old Trafford in the 5th round, after a riotous (off the pitch) 4th round game away to Stoke, so was by no means an easy route to the final.

I must say that Yorkshire is a fantastic place to watch football. Leeds obviously, Sheffield is a great football city, Barnsley is a great away day and very underrated. Even went to York City in the FA Cup when our local non-league team had a giant-killing attempt at toppling York, although the less said about this particular trip the better.
