On February 10, 1981, Coventry City stood 29 minutes from Wembley in the League Cup semi-final second leg at West Ham United's Upton Park.

Victories over Manchester United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Cambridge United, and Watford had taken Gordon Milne's side to the first semi-final in the club's 97-year history.

City's youngsters missed out on a trip to Wembley in the cruelest of circumstances after a fantastic first leg at Highfield Road in front of 36,000 fans.

For the first time, the cast of 1981 are reunited to tell their stories. 29 Minutes From Wembley features exclusive interviews with players, management, supporters, and opposition stars.
