Thanks for reminding me how old I am. I was there as a teenager. I still have the programme and the ticket stub. I wonder howmany on this board were there that day

Also there. Lovely day too. Sun was shining and it was a beautiful spring day. Even 2-0 down at half time I never doubted that we wouldn't win. Wonderful time to be a QPR fan.

I was 12. Sat opposite the Royal Box on one of those old school benches that we would turn over in the school hall and use as a goal. Ticket cost 17s and 6p (87p today). Great day. My father always ribbed me that at half time I zipped up my coat to hide my scarf. Even today still hurts when we are losing - although I am now more used to it....

I was 8 years old and had a ticket but my dad said to me "your uncle would like to go and you're a bit young anyway" so they went with my bro who turned in to a scummer, am I still bitter? You bet I am.

sadly wasn't there but the game that first introduced me to the R's. 5 at the time - amazing that the footage also has Morgan Twin getting arrested at full time. Big celebration next year.
Technically correct about the first third division team although we weren't the team from the lowest division to get to a major final. Rochdale in 1962 were in division four when they got to that season's (two legged) final.
Only 27 days to the thirtieth anniversary of another very special Rangers day.
Hope Ian J Taylor is already on the case getting them all ready to come on at half-time at the Boro game.
And what about Messrs Fraser,Finney and Charles sorting out Budgie,Bannister and Leroy as guests for the podcast nearest that hallowed Easter Monday when the scum wore shirts as red as their faces?

I was there with Len my Dad and my uncle John, what a fantastic day, went home and celebrated with a cup of tea. 19 years old then and was a follower when Jack Taylor was the manager in 1958.

I was there. My first QPR match. My Dad got comp'd a pair of tickets. As a died in the wool Sheffield Utd supporter he had no interest so gave them to me. I went with my mate Sam – a long time Arsenal fan. We were eighteen, and when I moved to London two years later I instantly became a regular at LR.

I wasn't there at Wembley that glorious day. I was nine years old, and on the morning of the match, I woke up crying as I had dreamt that the R's had lost in the Final, only for my mum to tell me that it hadn't yet been played and it was just a bad dream.My Dad and Grandad went to the game and after I had heard on Grandstand that Rangers were 2-0 down at half time, I went outside and kicked a football against the wall in tears again until I Spotted my Dad and Grandad walking back down Franklyn Rd, Willesden, laughing and joking and shouting to me that the R's had done it. I couldn't believe it. What a magical day. Shame it's been all downhill ever since.

My Nan , Granddad & Great Auntie went , my granddad still has the ticket stub in his loft , my great auntie had a season ticket well up to the late seventies , they would walk from notting hill every other week to see QPR my dad and his mates went as they turned up everyday in the week of the final to help clean the stadium and were given free tickets as a reward , the old man would have been 12/13 at the time , I still have his rattle with Rodney written on it from the final, sadly he lost the programme
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Yes I was there. And my write up of the day helped me win a prize for English at my school ahead of class mates Clive Anderson and Michael Portillo. ( who are not Rangers fans though I think Clive is a gooner).
