Yup, I was at Wembley Arena when we won in late 70s. Think it was six a side then but might be wrong. |  | |  |

I was there in '85 and, yes, I remember all the beer cans...
Recall us winning on penalties in the final against the Gooners but I have a memory of the semi-final against Charlton (?) also being a great game. | | | |

Those 5 or 6 a side games were great and were shown on Sports Night on Wednesdays. QPR were indeed a force to be reckoned with in those competitions back in the 70's. If I remember rightly Leyton Orient were pretty good at it too. Look what's happened to them since. |  |

Orient had some good players in those days...Laurie Cunningham springs to mind. |  |

Didn’t they used to do a tournament In Manchester for the whole of the first division ?
I’m pretty sure that used to be on sports night , if memory serves I recall charlton winning it and David speedie ( Coventry at the time) chipping a goalkeeper In a five a side goal |  |
| 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, there was a National as well as a London. But, I never watched the former, it was all about London to me and my mates. | |

When they took the fun out of football. Though I think that even this happy go lucky event suffered from a few of bouts of hooliganism. | |
