After previously being decided over two legs the first League Cup Final to be played at Wembley saw a major upset with a Third Division side winning a Wembley final for the first time. In front of a 97,952 crowd goals from Roger Morgan, Rodney Marsh and Mark Lazarus saw Third Division Queens Park Rangers pull back from 2-0 down to beat holders West Bromwich Albion 3-2. Part of the revamp of the League Cup was to see the winners gaining a place in Europe in the Fairs Cup but QPR missed out on that as the place only went to the winners if they were a top flight club. Still, QPR's consolation was that in addition to the cup final success they walked away with the Division 3 title and would only spend a season in the Second Division before they did become a top flight side for the first time in their histor y.
