Coventry win first trophy in their 104-year historySpurs end season empty-handed after instant classicGolden Goal: Daniel Harris on Keith Houchen’s header 5.52pm BST
So congratulations to Coventry City, the deserved winners of the 1987 FA Cup! Onwards and upwards for a club that has finally come of age as a top-flight concern. Next season’s kit, a gorgeous sky-blue take on Denmark’s beloved Hummel number from
Mexico 86, looks like a statement of intent to us. As for Spurs ... only those with a heart of stone or a Highbury season ticket will fail to feel for them, after contributing so much to the league and both cups, only to come away with nothing. They’ll be back at Wembley soon enough, just like David Pleat promises. Anyway, thanks for reading this MBM. David Lacey’s report has landed; click below and enjoy. Here’s hoping for more David-Goliath cup drama next year!

I think we all know how this ends, right?”
