ROY PESKETT RECALLS THE DRAMAS
AND THRILLS OF WEMBLEY
A SHORT STEP SEPARATES TRAGEDY FROM JOY
The loneliest place in football is the dressing-room of the losing team in a Wembley Cup Final. Opposite, across the concrete tunnel which leads from the historic grass bowl, is the winners' enclosure-all delight and laughter, where flashbulbs compete with champagne bubbles.
But, after the first quick inquests, visits from newsmen and photographers, nobody wants to know the losers. Many a time I have watched as a player, his once brand-new kit now creased and clinging with perspiration, his world crashed before him, has been too tired to drag himself to the showers.
