Some of their methods tended towards the controversial, as was evident in the build-up to the final.
Gould, 61, tells how he "slipped the groundsman a few bob" to secure an extra Wembley training session. He also remembers putting the dressing-room clock back two minutes to leave Liverpool waiting in the Wembley tunnel before kick-off.
"The FA have got their rules but you can tweak them a little bit, just don't tell anyone till 20 years later."
