Not he;ped by Tommy McLean's bizarre team selection - remember Pedersen (is that how to spell it?), a brilliant man marker, lost in midfield for reasons known only to TM |

I have very fond memories of Sieb surging off his line. The chaos and excitement that ensued never, or perhaps only rarely, resulted in a goal conceded. After that League Cup final our season nose dived. And didn't we have a game against Celtics immediately before the final which we also lost tamely? In fact, that team and Tommy's reign hit the buffers after this result. |

Keepers don't sweep so much any more, do they? Perhaps it's because strikers have become quicker, or maybe because defences sit deeper. The last-man red card rule's probably had an influence too. As a companion piece, it's worth reading Spiers in conversation with Hamish.

I wasn't thinking of Sieb sweeping so much, more coming out to clutch at a cross near the penalty spot. |

Everything had been going well for about a year, and then we faced Celtic twice in a week. Gubbed 4-0 at Parkhead; then 3-0 at Ibrox. If Sieb saw 25,000 United fans at the final - as he says in the piece - then he must have been at the magic mushrooms. |
