1st cup final of my time

Fulham were our opponents in the final & again over two legs, we had so many chances to have taken a sizable lead to Craven Cottage but typical Boro, after missing some many chances we took a slender 1-0 to London for the 2nd leg, courtecy of an OG, when Strong, deflected a David Armstrongs diving header,  hitting the inrushing the Fulham defender & past his own keeper at the holgate end in to the back of the net, gooooaaaaaallll, the holgate went crazy

We travelled to Craven Cottage, putting in a sterling performance drawing 0-0 to win the Anglo Scottish Cup 1-0 over two legs & winning a trophy, doesn't that sound great

It doesn't matter how people down grade it, its there in black & white in our history club handbooks, pennant's etc, we won our 1st trophy, the ASC
