The 1970 Football League Cup Final took place on 7 March 1970 at Wembley Stadium with an attendance of 97,963. It was the tenth Football League Cup final and the fourth to be played at Wembley. It was contested between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion, with City winning their first of the two trophies that season; on 29 April they would win the 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup final against Górnik Zabrze 2–1.
The pitch had been criticised by Joe Mercer as a "pig of a pitch" due to recent snowfall and the fact the Horse of the Year Show had been held at Wembley a few days earlier.[1] In muddy pitch conditions, Jeff Astle opened the scoring for Albion with a header after five minutes, becoming the first player to score in the final of both the League Cup and FA Cup at Wembley. He had already scored in the first leg of the 1966 League Cup Final four years previously, however that was at West Ham's Boleyn Ground. City equalised from a low shot to the left corner by Mike Doyle to send the game into extra time, and eventually won 2–1, with Glyn Pardoe scoring the winner when he volleyed the ball into the net from close range.
