Blues who should've won something here

[peteblue]

I think it must be the drink induced fog, but I thought I saw Mick Lyons on one of these sporting superstar team event things years ago on the telly. His team won it and he said something like "first time I've held a trophy'. I've just tried to find find any reference on the net and couldn't. Does anyone else remember seeing it or should I just put it down to old age.........

Was Andy King still at Everton for the 84 FA Cup Final? He was there for the Milk Cup.

He certainly wasn't in the team that day.....and he came on as a sub in the Milk Cup final replay IIRC.

It is possible he was transferred on the old transfer deadline day we used to have near the end of March meaning he wouldn't have still been with us by the time we faced Watford.

I'm not sure how the medals work, then and now actually, but I'm guessing he may have played in one of the early rounds so he could be classed as being an FA Cup winner at least by todays rules?

I'm guessing that squad players today get a medal even if they don't play in the final itself? I may be completely wrong on that mind I've never looked up the rules on it.

I would doubt the whole squad get a medal even nowadays, Nev.

Non used subs do, that's for sure.

He was mate,I think he was in the squad at Wembley,don't think he was sub,I think that was Harper,might be wrong.

Was it not Kevin Richardson was sub in the F.A. Cup Final, Dario?

Just had a look on t'inernet mate,Richo actually played,Sheeds was injured and old Zico was indeed sub

I must admit I haven't a clue what the criteria was for the Cup. I think the league is 10 matches minimum to get a medal.

In theory it would be harsh on a player who played every round but was injured for the final to not be recognised. I'd have to look up how many he played in that run, don't think it was much if any though from memory.

Edit, did Sheedy miss out on a medal?

Feck......I would have bet money Sheeds played in that final.

Though even as I was posting my reply to you, I had recollections of seeing Richie playing at Wembley that day but thought he must have been a sub.

Yes, if he didn't play in the Final he wouldn't have got one.

Well if that question was in a pub quiz last night, I would have got that answer wrong!

I think it was the season after jamo,I seem to remember a female streaker set my hormones racing as a fourteen year old!

That kind of thing tends to stick in your mind mate.

You were rarely let down by a Tim Cahill performance.

Except for every game he played in his last two years.

Tell me about it, Nev.

I have been dropped off my Quiz team

Tim Cahill - 2008 League Cup

I seriously thought we were going to pull it off. Until the 4'6 SWP rose like a salmon above 6'2 Lescott and squirted all over our dreams like a bukake a-lister
