A lot of older Dagenham fans will remember being at Wembley for our 1980 FA Trophy win. You might also know about the Granada documentary covering the day from a Mossley perspective, entitled Mossley Goes To Wembley. I have a video somewhere (yes a video cassette!) with it on. The game was not officially televised, but the documentary does contain footage - mainly of Mossley fans heading south for the game and the Mossley open top bus parade on their return home, the build up and Mossley near misses. However, there is also a pretty good scene of Chris Maycock's mazy run and shot to win the game. I know a lot of people will already know that the documentary exists, but given the lack of recent views on Youtube, when I searched today, this suggests that there might be people who have not relived the day for a while, or seen it at all if you are of a certain age. Search Mossley Goes To Wembley on Youtube, watch the three parts and enjoy.
