Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, but it does involve looking back at something with different eyes and in a land that time has forgotten.
In those days there is no doubt it was a huge event but to put it into context;
There was no Sky
The only live football was the FA Cup final and internationals watched in black and white on a low definition small rounded screen TV.
The European cup was contested by the champions of a country.
Going to Wembley was an impossible dream (there were no play-offs or Paint Pot trophies).
The aforementioned would mean that if the draw was repeated now that it would still be a big event, but not huge. The currency has been devalued my friend.
Bugger all to do with Sky! More to do with me not being 12 if it happens again

Read back through the thread and see that Walter has more in common with other posters.
Dumb asses.
I know precisely what Camb was inferring . . . one off cup ties get disproportionate exposure.
Those 4 promotion/relegation/Wembley appearances have all happened on my watch, and incidentally, with ref. to the original post, although I didn't see the game, I've still got my late father's 1965 Spurs ticket.
Hey Troj. I thought you were there when Torquay were formed. And I did see the Original Spurs match but I haven't got a ticket.
