Marvellous match between two great teams really going at it. Tony Cottee was one hell of a striker. How long it has been since I've seen a Forest team play anything close to that quality of football.
@@harryskillman7972 Those days won't be returning. We can thank Liverpool and Heysel and then we can really applaud SKY for the Premiership. It's amazing how the young don't realise their was a time when the First Division existed..it still does. I don't bother with football now.
I went to this game and also to the Rugby League Cup Final the day before (29th & 30th April 1989 respectively). Although we lost it was an excellent game of football, both teams went for it. At least Wigan won the day before so I was 50% happy!
Tony Cottee my fave Everton player back then!.Also remember when we beat Forest in league 4-0 and I think it was Cottee 2 and Whiteside 2 also !!..Not 100% sure!... Also is such a shame we never got to see Cottee and Lineker in the same Everton team!!..What a strike partnership that would of been !!ETID!!💙
Simod is definitely not the league cup...i think I've got a memory that Luton town beat arsenal in Littlewoods cup or may have been rumbelows cup by then..86 Oxford win,87 arsenal win with jammy shitty scruffy goals they were known for,88was Luton I think
It was a third tier cup competition below the FA and League cups. In other words, it was a temporary alternative to the European competitions we were banned from entering. Another way of filling the calendar and generating extra revenue.
It was a seperate cup altogether. It was meant to compensate for the lack of European football. The Full Members Cup, more infamously remembered as the Zenith Data Systems Cup, was a competition that ran from 1985 to 1992. Known as the Simod Cup between 1987 and 1989, it was, as the name suggests, open to the Football League’s full members only, which was the top two tiers. Teams in Divisions Three and Four had to make do with the Associate Members Cup, which is now the EFL Trophy. The cup was an additional piece of silverware for English clubs to fight over after the post-Heysel European competition ban was put in place. However, during its inaugural season, the six teams who finished in the European qualification spots instead competed in the English Super Cup (we’ll get to that) while only five other First Division clubs bothered with it. It grew in popularity, with 41 teams out of a possible 45 contesting its final season, before it was killed off by the advent of the Premier League. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur never competed in the Full Members Cup, while Chelsea and Nottingham Forest were the most successful entrants, winning it twice each.
J-Boogie Brown how many european cups have you won again theres only 1 team in liverpool and they dont wear blue watch tonight real madrid getting beaten
sid vicious LIVERPOOL AND THEIR FANS.👍🏻 AND IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY 👍 The only club that can talk about history this is why your club and fans aren't liked by most other supporters not because you've been successful in the past and you dnot hear anyone else deny that fact yet Liverpool fans deny anyone else their success when it suits them remember the victors usually write the history of the day that why MAN CITY ,MAN U ,CHELSEA, have their history now because between them in the last 20 year they've won the premier league the most also European cups plus Europa league yet u say that they have no history 😭
