Forty years on from Norwich City's win over Sunderland in the Milk Cup final at Wembley, Mark Barham shared his memories of playing on one of the club's most celebrated days.
Barham, a midfielder and a product of Norwich City's youth sides, made over 200 appearances for the Canaries and even earned two full England caps on a tour of Australia in 1983.
In the build-up to the 1985 final, he recalls the joy of being named in the team to walk out at Wembley:
"Well, we were pretty much not expected to get to that point in the competition. I'd already been out for 18 months with a cruciate ligament injury and wasn't expecting to be playing.
"I couldn't believe it when my name was called out by Ken Brown to say that I was playing; I was absolutely ecstatic."
A major domestic final at Wembley Stadium is the dream for any English footballer and Barham described the moment that dream became reality:
"Getting to walk out at Wembley was just the most amazing thing you've ever done really, it’s still the most special thing. And with the crowds, more than 40,000 Norwich City fans, it was just elation itself."
The Canaries would not be overawed by the occasion and Barham notes the manner in which victory was achieved:
"Well, I think that we played them the week before and they beat us 4-1 at home and we thought: 'It can't be as bad this time as it was last time.' So, we went out and I felt during the game that we probably didn't give them a kick.
"Even if I say so myself, I think I played pretty well but probably missed four decent chances, but at the end of the day, you know, 1-0 is 1-0.
"I think today, Asa Hartford would have been given the goal because it was on target!"
The celebrations after the game and on an open top bus tour back in Norwich were some of the most joyous scenes in the Canaries' history, as Barham remembers:
"It was just the most special time when the whistle went.
"The bus tour was interesting! It took us three and a half hours to go all the way around the outer ring road and it rained on us for all of it, but I don't think anybody noticed, to be quite honest.
"The amount of fans that were just on the roads was very impressive, but once you got back down into the city and around the around the town hall, it was just incredible. There were 30,000 to 40,000 people all around the market and everywhere.
"It was just amazing."
Barham's lasting memory of the day is the spirit of both sets of supporters in what was dubbed the friendly final:
"We had a massive rapport with Sunderland for years and years after that.
"Their supporters were brilliant and great in defeat and it was born out of that. Then we obviously started playing for the Friendship Trophy yearly."
The cup-winning Canaries were a tightly-knit unit and Barham believes the strong bond between the players was the key to their cup success:
"We were always a proper team: we played together, we drank together, and I think that that was one of the main things that kept us going in those days.
"I still speak with Chrissy Woods and Dave Watson, Paul Haylock, Mendy (Peter Mendham) and Dennis Van Wijk still comes back now and again. We still see Asa Hartford at some of our events. Louie Donowa also pops in now and again."
The 1985 team remain City's most recent major domestic trophy winners and will be remembered as heroes by the Canaries faithful for many years to come.
