a third tier club reaching the semis

has never been bettered, has it? (and only equalled a handful of times if that)

and we beat manyoo and spurs along the way - hence the huge national attention.

FA Cup was much bigger in those days too.

Agreed that obviously third in the prem was objectively a greater achievement. But that came after years of progress (eg finishing in the top 5 only a few yers earlier). The 58-59 cup run was an amzing achievement gfiven what the club was then. And had loads of romantic stories around it (keeper stuff etc).

My dad goes on about it loads. Still.
