The teams
Preamble
“And Smith must score!” Brighton and Hove Albion dream of ending Peter-Jones’s 42-year-olds. So close yet so far from a first Cup of England. Nottingham Forest won the thing before, of course, but you should be of majestic vintage for having witnessed the last time that Elton John’s cousin and everything else did in 1959 and everything else, and there are also a couple of generations who will be too young for seeing Brian Clough Call of 1991. Both teams will give up, then. Both teams believe. Both teams certainly good enough to raise the old May pot. But only one will remain standing by the end of the night, which could extend to the extra time and sanctions if necessary. The kick -off is at 5.15 pm. It’s turned on!
