My all-time favourite is the Surrey Senior Cup Final of 1966 - such a good year for English football! - when the Reds beat Sutton United in a seven-goal thriller. I sat with Dad in the stand at Tooting's old ground, a few days past my 15th birthday. We had only won the competition once before, back in the 1920s, and 40 coachloads of supporters from Redhill travelled to Sandy Lane to cheer on Jack Shreeve's battling team.

The Reds had needed three replays to get to the Final while Sutton, then a top Isthmian outfit, had scored 13 goals and conceded only one. And it was Sutton, the clear favourites, who led 2-0 at the interval with goals from Trevor Bladon and Ted Powell, both of them in the England amateur squad. At that time the match was merely following its predicted course - but by the midway point in the second half Redhill were 3-2 up!

Tony Wilkins, a former Sutton player, netted twice and John Gregory fired home from the spot after a handball. Redhill's fight-back was all the more impressive because they were down to ten men after flying winger Neil Hodges was taken away to hospital with a head injury. Sutton were rocking now. Then a 25-yarder from full-back Bob Taylor, who used to specialise in that kind of strike, took the Final into an extra half-hour on a sticky hot May afternoon.

But the Reds were still to have their day, despite some of the players suffering badly from cramp. In the 104th minute Keith Harrington crossed low from the left and Micky Harrington crashed the ball home for what proved to be the winner at 4-3. Former Sutton centre-half Terry Price, a veteran of their Wembley appearance, collected the cup for an exhausted but jubilant Redhill team. The Reds haven't managed to win the competition since that special day more than 50 years ago.
