Our 3rd Wembley final in just over a year having won the 1981 FA Cup and lost the 1982 Milk Cup we found ourselves at Wembley again.
.
It wasn't a great affair but looking back I'd take a couple more of those in the last 20-30 years instead of firing blanks for so long.
.
No Ossie or Ricky for this - the Falklands war put paid to that.
.
My thoughts which I have mentioned here before was I was glad Clive Allen didn't make the replay, he was injured early in the Saturday game - He might have made a big difference if he was fit.
.
I was able to get as many tickets as I wanted for both games, Sat + replay as my old man was mates with the ground/stadium manager of Loftus Road at that time, so I just got names from all my pals who needed one and that was that as they say.

The first game was a tense and largely dull game of few clear cut chances. QPR's young goalkeeper Peter Hucker was certainly the busier keeper although Spurs were mainly being kept to long range efforts. Hucker's performance in the first match would ultimately earn him the Man of the Match award. QPR were not outclassed however, although their attacking options were hindered when prolific striker Clive Allen, who had scored the winner in the semi-final, was injured early in the game and was a peripheral figure thereafter. He was replaced by Gary Micklewhite five minutes into the second half. Ninety minutes came and went with the score 0–0. With ten minutes of extra time remaining, Glenn Hoddle found himself just outside the QPR penalty box. His shot took a deflection (off Tony Currie) and found the right-hand corner of Hucker's goal. Not to be outdone, five minutes later Simon Stainrod took a long throw ten yards from the Spurs goal line. Rangers' burly centre-back Bob Hazell, flicked the ball on at the near post and Terry Fenwick headed the ball past Spurs keeper Ray Clemence at point-blank range, making the final score 1–1.
