In the 1970s, the club was led through a difficult period of obscurity. However, under Terry Neill, they went to three straight FA Cup finals, winning the 1979 Cup over Manchester United. However, another poor period led them through the first half of the 1980s.

In the 1985-86 season, enter George Graham, a former Arsenal player and Millwall manager. Under his leadership, of which fans still talk about with total fondness, they won the 1988-89 League Cup over Liverpool. In 1993, the team doubled up, winning the FA Cup and League Cup, both over Sheffield Wednesday. After his retirement, however, several new coaches came and failed to meet expectations, even with such players as [[Goalkeeper]] [[David Seaman]] and famed [[Dutch]] [[striker]] [[Dennis Bergkamp]].
