In 1974 City were by no means the overwhelming odds-on favourites they are tomorrow when Pep Guardiola's superstars face Nuno Espirito Santo's Championship outfit, writes Wolves correspondent Tim Spiers. But with the likes of Denis Law, Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Rodney Marsh in the side they were still expected to beat Bill McGarry's Wolves and lift the League Cup at Wembley. 

McGarry though formulated a masterplan to win the cup and with the likes of stand-in keeper Gary Pierce, commanding centre half John McAlle and midfield terrier Mike Bailey playing out of their skins, Wolves took home the trophy for the first time.

 

 

"If we play as well as we can there is no reason why the cup should not come back to Wolverhampton," McGarry said on the eve of the final.

McGarry made sure preparations had been relaxed as possible, with the squad enjoying a four-day excursion to Worthing, Sussex and even 'paying scant attention' to the General Election which had been held on February 28, according to an Express & Star report. In fact the players had quite the trip, playing a morning's golf at Worthing, paying two visits to the cinema (watching The Sting and McQ) and then moving to a secret hideout nearer Wembley on the Thursday night.
