Correct. The event that still keeps the club in the public consciousness.

Wiz is right, but in my lifetime there were two events…… Fred’s hattrick at Dumpdale for promotion and to relegate them and the girl in the Striped Dress Day

That's fine for us, but who outside the club's supporters know or care about either?

A fair point, I do think we gained an increasing popularity and interest in the club when we got to the Premier for various reasons.

Like you said, we will always be remembered for that FA Cup Final and the fact Stanley Matthews played for us. Even younger supporters keen on the history of our football teams do get to know who the legends were.
