Middlesbrough Everton 1988 FA Cup

Mental when you think about it. The squad had already been stretched to it's limit with injuries on the title winning season, so you'd think they'd have really invested heavily to keep us right up there challenging. You see the signings the rs made and we made and it's night and day.

And we left our manager leave. I'd have been less disappointed if he'd actually left for Barcelona. But he went to Athletic Bilbao, a Basque version of us. I think that turned out to be a disaster for us - and the biggest mistake of his managerial career.
