Thanks a lot for posting this, Jason, it brought back some very happy memories! I lived near Diss all through my childhood but was at uni by the time this Vase run came around. However, I still managed to get to the Tiverton game and the final of course as well. I remember how tired everyone was by extra time, players understandably almost running to stand still! But what a tremendous effort it was to come away with the win, I was buzzing for days afterwards.
Bill Punton almost got my local team Great Yarmouth Town to the the F.A. Vase final in 1983 (we lost to eventual winners V.S.Rugby in the semi final)...but he went one better 11 years later with Diss Town...Great to see the highlights of this again though...remember watching it at the time on ITV Anglia (and I think BBC East did a similar one called 'Tangerine Dream'?)...Great memories...
I love the FA Vase. I think to make it better they should invite some selected South Scottish sides and all Welsh Premier sides into the Vase. After all the Scottish have allowed English, Welsh and Irish sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup. - What do you think? Thanks.
Peter Mendham must have thought his chances of winning a second cup final at Wembley had gone before Diss got to Wembley,. And to score the winning goal! Taunton must have been absolutely gutted though not to win that game.

This is an absolute gem of a football match. Just as dramatic and important as the champions league final.
I was at the game with a mate who supports Taunton. Still remember his doom laden voice saying "That's a penalty."
Kevin meloy (I think that was his name), the Taunton keeper, was my postman 😅 I was at the game with my dad
