Bear that in mind what the commentator said any entitled Man Utd fans who've found their way here. Blackburn Rovers where winning FA cups before there was even a Man Utd.
I went to this game as a 15 year old Londoner. Bunked off the last lesson at school, caught the bus to Euston, train to Crewe, a Glasgow bound train from Crewe and changed at Preston, then a local train from Preston to Blackburn (if I remember correctly!) The match was live on Match of the Day on a Friday night. Apart from the result, I remember one of the soccer magazines that year (Match Weekly or Shoot! I think) doing a survey of the best pies at football grounds and Ewood Park came out on top. They weren't wrong either! There was a small kiosk at the top right of the away end and I had 2 pies before the match and another 2 at half-time! I think the song "who ate all the pies" was made for me that night!
Great pie stall... The smell of hot bovril & fresh baked pies wafting around a frosty ewood park brought a smile to many a frozen face & cheered us up no end at half time... I remember the swift unexpected cold breeze blowin across the pitch up the concrete steps & up everyones trouser leg stood in the blackburn end which must have doubled the sales of a pie n a bovril at the half time whistle.... To buy 4 pies u must have been a proper rich lad & not local... Haha
Who edited this match?, i was there in the blackburn end as a young lad & loyal rocers supporter... remembering a very competitive match with rovers giving it a good go & some creative football putting the wind up united.., not just the 2 united goals & pundits papping on with themselves... Bbc hasn't changed much..

The first time I heard the song oh Manchester is wonderful was after this game when walking through the streets of Blackburn back to our coach
