I was there!! Stood in the "rivers of pizz". It was like a lemonade fountain down those terraces. 91,000 there. Bloody fantastic. All of it, from Leicester Forest East Services to Wembley and back to Arden Road Social Club to watch it all again on video replay.

THE happiest day of my life !!! (And I'm married!!)

Two days later - Town Hall reception and Town Centre clogged with Fax fans. Alzheimers will NEVER take those memories away!!!

UP THE FAX!!!!!!!

Correct. My Brother had a massive Wembley banner saying "Happy Birthday Chris".

i was there aged 14 and still one of the greatest days of my life.

I was 14 at the time too and the whole day is a bit of a blur. In my 5d togs blue and white Fax shirt, scarf and Wembley flat cap (bought outside Wembley - still have it - got it signed by Chris Anderson, Graham Eadie and David Brook outside the Town Hall).

I think I got one of the supporters coaches down but I can't remember if they left from Thrum Hall or the old bus station. I remember the banter and rugby league fans taking over Leicester Forest services.

Will we ever see the like again?
