The following years semi-final defeat was almost as bad. My only consolation from '68 - Gordon West's signature on the Everton team photo featured in the FA Cup Final programme

In the Everton break my heart stakes, I wrote off the Storey-Moore game as just one of those things...with a grudging - fairplay to Carey and Wignall for maybe wanting it more and imbuing Forest with some fight.
Astle broke my heart - just how did we lose that? Was the constant question all the way home...we stopped in the first pub we found to drown our sorrows, couldn't even get into that, left after 3 pints
Villa hurt, but not as bad, only, 95%. We settled for the draw and paid the price - probably my first official 'Everton That', little did I know...

The saddest thing for me from those years was the failure of Ball, Kendall et al to claim an FA Cup Winners' medal.
