Man Utd home, league cup, 1979

8 years old, my dad took me. We won 4-1 and that was that. It was the single most exciting thing I ever saw.

After the game my dad stuck me on his shoulders and I watched the heads of the crowd bob away over Carrow Bridge. Can also remember the drizzle falling through the flood light beams.
