Told by Jason Marriner
In his own words · @marrinerj8
Sunday 23 March 1986, Wembley. Chelsea 5, Man City 4. David Speedie got a hat-trick, Colin Lee got the other two, and we were 5-1 up before City nearly nicked it at the end.
We've won a cup and we can't believe it.
Tell you what, that was a blinder. The Full Members Cup final, 1986. We thought that was our pinnacle. We thought that was the furthest we'd ever, ever get. We never thought we'd see an FA Cup, let alone a Champions League. So the Full Members Cup was everything to us.
And to be fair, you know, Man City would have been the same at the time. We're in the height of the football culture. And we've come out and it's in the car park. It went ballistic. It was just ballistic. Plenty of fun in the sun, I would say.
And we've ended up going on to nick the game, 5-4. We've won a cup and we can't believe it. We're ecstatic.
Anyone that was in the scene or went would know about the car park, amongst many others.
