Supporters who witnessed Southampton's greatest day are heading back to Wembley almost 50 years later.
In 1976, Saints shocked Manchester United 1-0 to win the FA Cup for the first and only time.
Now they face another Manchester giant in Manchester City, with a place in the final at stake.
Those who saw the underdog triumph first-hand hope a new generation can experience the magic of cup glory.
John Sorrell was 14 when he stood outside a pub in North Baddesley with his best friend Kevin Screech, waiting for the coach to Wembley.
A big fan of Slade and the glam rockers of the era, he remembers wearing his best flares for the occasion.
"If your jeans didn't cover your shoes you weren't cool," says Sorrel.
With a silk Saints scarf tied around his wrist, sandwiches in hand and a yellow and blue rosette pinned to his chest, he boarded the coach with Screech, then 13.
"No parents or anything, just unbelievable. You wouldn't imagine that now," Sorrell says.
Manchester United were strong favourites, but Sorrell remembers Southampton was full of belief.
"All the shops had displays and the whole city got behind the team. I think there was a genuine belief we could do it."
The teenagers stepped off the coach into what Screech describes as "a sea of yellow and blue".
The south coast side, synonymous with the colours red and white, wore their away kit for the match, so that they did not clash with the Red Devils.
"Wembley was something else, just to see the twin towers and realise 'we're here, this is it'," says Screech.
They both recall a tense game but then came Bobby Stokes' winner in the 83rd minute.
"I can still picture the ball going in the back of the net and looking around to see John screaming," Screech says.
The final whistle went and "you've never heard such a roar in all your life".
They admitted they were unsure about whether to stay for the trophy presentation, as they were "scared" of the Manchester United fans just below.
"We stayed and it was the best feeling ever to see that cup presented," says Sorrell.
The moment had an extra layer of history attached to it, as it was the last time Queen Elizabeth II presented the trophy to the winning team.
