Aston Villa are no more nervous about F% playing at Wembley in the League Cup Final than a man collecting his wage packet after a week of hard work. The confidence that rubbed off on them in their memorable Semi-Final victory over humiliated Manchester United has become a permanency in Villa's approach to football. In fact, judged by the outward calm of Team Manager Vic Crowe — is he ever anything else but calm? — the League Cup Final could be on February 27, 1972, instead of this month. Crowe told Shoot: "We have got our priorities right, which means promotion to the Second Division is number one. "The Final at Wembley is number two. I'm not saying we don't want to win it. Nothing would thrill us more. What I am saying is that this match is a long way from our minds at this moment.

League Cup 1979 1980 Final Nottingham Forest Wolverhampton

Finale

15 Mars 1980
Wembley Stadium

As both League Cup and European Cup holders, Nottingham Forest had entered the match as clear favourites. Indeed, victory here would have given the club a hat trick of League Cup wins, and they would go on to retain the European Cup at the end of the season. By contrast, Wolves' last silverware had been their League Cup win six years earlier and they had finished a lowly 18th in the First Division in the previous campaign, whilst Forest had ended runners-up.

Living up to their tag of favourites, Nottingham Forest took the game to Wolves and created several opportunities, all denied by Bradshaw in the Wolves goal, as Francis shot across him and Gray's mazy run through was just halted. Birtles' driven attempt at a scrambled corner was also parried away by the keeper, while Wolves' attacks largely came to nothing.

Peter Shilton Born To Save

Peter Shilton could have appeared in the Great Players list for at least half a dozen clubs, such is the longevity of his career and the precocious nature of his early career at Leicester City. Even as a teenager Peter was insisting that he shouldn't be playing second fiddle to the great Gordon Banks. His positional sense and penalty-box awareness served Filbert Street well after Banks had gone to Stoke City.  Later, Peter followed Gordon to the Potteries, but by 1977 still hadn't been rewarded with any major honours. Brian Clough persuaded Shilton that this would all change at the City Ground, and that prediction proved to be amazingly accurate. Clough believed Shilton was worth at least 18 points a season and indeed it was Peter who would ensure at least a draw in many matches during that set of incredible unbeaten runs. His reliability and confidence inspired Larry Lloyd and Kenny Burns to provide the bedrock of success in those fantastic Forest years.

50 Things you need to know about Gazza

  Septembre 75. A huit ans, Paul possède des qualités dépassant de loin tous les autres footballeurs de son âge. Il se frotte même régulièrement à des jeunes de deux ou trois ans ses aînés. Mais il n'a pas l'âge pour être admis au sein d'une équipe. Néanmoins, il se rend tous les soirs dans un club de quartier le Redheugh Boys'Club, où son assiduité lui vaut d'être remarqué par tous les dirigeants. Qui décident de faire une exception : il est admis au club, mais ne jouera pas. «Paul était dingue de foot, se souvient Tommy Léonard, qui l'accepta à Redheugh."Il était là tout le temps. Si nous ne l'avions pas accepté, il aurait pu mal tourner... »

Paul Gascoigne : "The Real Me"

 Arguably the best footballer of his generation, mercurial was a word that could have been invented to describe Paul Gascoigne. After his crucial, but ultimately tearful contribution to England’s 1990 World Cup in Italy, “Gazza” became a household name. And going into the 1991 FA Cup Final for Tottenham against Nottingham Forest, the Gateshead midfielder had signed an £8.5m deal to join Italian Serie A side Lazio. But disaster struck when he wildly challenged Gary Charles, which resulted in him rupturing the cruciate ligaments in his right knee, so he was forced to postpone the move until the following summer.

Leeds United The Greatest Ever Team

 

   When winger Arthur Graham signed for Leeds United from Aberdeen (or £100,000 in the close season, he became the latest in a long line of Scots to join the ranks of the Northern club, all seeking football fame and glory. Leeds have had a long association with Scottish footballers, stemming from the days when Bobby Collins led them to promotion from the Second Division in 1964. Middlesbrough's Terry Cooper, the former England international whose career with Leeds in an ever changing Tartan athmosphere, has definite view of the key players at Elland Road were — and are - Scottish. He says: "Don Revie had a tremendous scouting system operating in Scotland. He believed there was a wealth of untapped talent North of the border. "And when he bought players, he often went for known Scots. Collins was one of the Scots Ravie bought. He joined the club in March, 1962, from Everton. At the time Collins had won 28 international caps. He added three more to that with Leeds in the twilight of a colourful career.

Leeds United Glory Years 1965 1975

  Dans les dernières années du XXe siècle, l'Europe du football est revenue au stade d'Elland Road; c'était l'une des meilleures nouvelles constatées dans le monde du ballon rond. Dans le comté du West Yorkshire, et surtout à Leeds, sa capitale de près de 500 000 habitants, on commençait à sérieusement désespérer. Pourquoi laisser la mainmise sur le football anglais à Manchester United, Liverpool ou encore Arsenal ? Mais historiquement, le club de Leeds City, fondé en 1904 et devenu Leeds United AFC en 1919 après la dissolution du précédent pour malversations financières, n'a jamais véritablement pesé sur ce sport en Angleterre. Ses temps forts se situent dans les années 1960 et 1970 - l'âge d'or, même si la première superstar locale, le Gallois John Charles, a porté le maillot blanc dans les années 1950, avant de partir en 1957 pour la Juventus Turin. Donc, à Leeds, tout commence véritablement avec les années 1960. Le club est revenu en première division en 1956, et un ancien milieu de terrain, Don Revie, devient l'entraîneur du club du Yorkshire en 1961. C'est le début de la belle histoire. Mais à Leeds, il y a une (triste) tradition. Oui, le club tourne bien ; oui, l'équipe figure parmi les meilleures du pays, mais voilà, il y a toujours un souci, un problème, un contretemps, une hésitation, et Leeds n'obtiendra jamais, ainsi, le statut de grand d'Europe. Leeds United, c'est un club de très bon niveau, pas un « monstre ».
