1985 Football League Cup Final

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1985 Milk Cup Final was won by Norwich City. The Canaries defeated Sunderland 1–0 at Wembley Stadium on 24 March 1985 with an own goal scored by Gordon Chisholm, who deflected Asa Hartford's shot past goalkeeper Chris Turner. Later in the second half, Clive Walker missed a penalty awarded for a handball by Norwich defender Dennis van Wijk.^[1]

To date this remains the only time that both finalists in a major English cup competition were relegated at the end of the season.

However, on 31 May 1985 all English clubs were banned from European competitions on an indefinite basis as a result of the Heysel disaster two days previously, meaning that Norwich City were unable to compete in the 1985-86 UEFA Cup.
