Manchester City FC at Wembley-First Time in 35 Years?

It's funny how City fans seem to remember 1976, when they won the League Cup, as the last time they were at Wembley. Admittedly a lot can happen in 35 years, like United winning two more European Cups, including a Treble. Lots of Doubles, countless championships and FA Cups. Oh yes, a Cup Winners Cup too. But I think City fans have forgotten a more recent Wembley visit. Come on now, surely you remember?

OK then. It was 1999, when United were winning the European Cup in Barcelona. Ring any bells? No?

Right then, City were at Wembley in 1999 playing Gillingham in the Third Division Play-Off Final. Remember now? Yes, City fans try to forget they were in the Third Division 12 years ago.
