I remember very well our League Cup semi final performance in 1965/66 when we managed to lose 10-3 on aggregate over 2 legs to West Ham This, at the time, was the highest aggregate defeat in a League Cup semi final. I don't think that it has been beaten since. (Those better informed may know different) After last night's performance by Man City perhaps Burton Albion may be taking the record over.

I remember the 5-1 home defeat being a pretty miserable affair with us being outclassed all over the field. I think both Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters got a couple each but what sticks in my mind was Peter Brabrook and Johnny Sissons running riot. I remember thinking that scoring 2 in the away leg was a bit of a achievement.
