Runners-up Chevron. I am one of the players with Chevrons who were runners-up in 1988. This was a fantastic tournament. It was one of the biggest achievements for clubs to reach the knockout stage. This was our best result and we only lost by 1 goal. But to play in the Wembley arena and then get to watch England take on the visiting country Australia, New Zealand etc was the pinnacle in our era. For a small Northern club with no England players etc was a massive achievement.
