    Was the cup winning manager in 1987.

    One of the best cup final goals I've ever seen Houchen header.

    RIP John

    Excellent achievement beating Spurs that year. They had an exceptional side under Pleat. The only F.A Cup Final Spurs have lost. R.I.P.

    One of my favourite cup finals that in 87. Always seemed a likeable character did Sillett. RIP…..

    At a time when Fa cup was taken seriously and was a big occassion. Remember every final until about 97 - lost interest then.

    This final really stood out and what a goal. RIP John
