Thanks Cliff what were the teams? Was it a good game?

It was good if you were a hammer. If i remember right they had 3 world cup winners in there team.We were only an average team in div 2 they were different class.

Cheers Rob was a year before I was born.

Well West Ham in fairness did win the World Cup.

Steve, you are very bored tonight aint you. keep tangling the rod boyo, someone is bound to bite sooner or later.

Yeah that's right mate, anyway for the record our home leg (2nd leg) was played on Wed 2nd Feb 1966 and West Ham won 5-1 to win 10-3 on aggregate!

City got to the last four by beating Crewe at home, after a draw then Portsmouth, Reading and Ipswich when the Bluebirds were favoured with home draws. The first leg of the semi-final was played at Upton Park on Mon Dec 20th 1965 and City lost 5-2 with centre forward George Andrews scoring both goals for us.
The 2nd leg was some six weeks later! it was always going to be something of an anti-climax, we got beat 5-1. City's only goal coming from Aberfan boy Bernard Lewis, in the final minute George Johnstone missed a penalty for City.

CITY TEAM (2nd Leg) Lyn Davies, Graham Coldrick, David Yorath, Gareth Williams, Don Murray, Barrie Hole, Greg Farrell, George Johnstone, George Andrews, Peter King, Bernard Lewis.

An odd thing about these semi-finals is that programmes for both games are in short supply - particularly the game at Ninian Park.

Thanks for that Cliff , that was seriously interesting. 6 weeks!! Long time between games any special reason?

Also why were the programmes in such demand?

6 weeks in between both legs, I can only think it's because there were 42 games then in Div.1 plus West Ham were invloved in the European cup winners cup. I don't know why the programme is rare, the attendance for the home leg was 14,315.

Oh of course west ham were in Europe in fact did they not win it too?

But seriously though thanks Cliff ,
