I’m 50 now. I live in Canada. I was born and raised in England during the 70’s and 80’s. Tottenham was my team. Those were my boys. Glenn Hoddle, Steve Perryman, Garth Crooks, Steve Archibald, Osvaldo Ardelas, Ricky Villia and Micky Hazzard. I never saw my boys again, but man did that team fill my heart with pride and joy.
Hutchinson probably has nightmares to this day, but it was all Gerry Gow's fault. His twatting about on the ball at 17:23 and then the stupid foul he gave away a few seconds later cost City dear. City played the perfect game up until that point and were 10 minutes away from winning the cup.
I went to this game with my brother on his birthday, we are both Spurs supporters. This is how I got the 2 tickets for the final. Me and my then girlfriend went to the Spurs v Norwich league game a few days after winning the semi final v Wolves, on entry to the match we were both given a ballot card each, I'm pretty sure the cards were green with letter O. What you had to do was phone up a number some days later to see if your cards had won, which mine had, then send off for the cup final tickets, £3.50 each. Got them back some days later, in the thinnest envelope that I have seen before. Not a bad day out but rather had gone to the replay.
The fact that not one City player went over to Hutchinson to sympathise with him shows just what a different breed of footballer existed then. Now it would be counselling sessions and given a month off to get over it!!
Destiny is a strange thing,huchinson stays where he is city win the cup ball going well wide.Same with liverpool in 77 ball going into the stands hits greenhoff and goes in.Can't stop destiny.
Does anyone know if footage of the whole first game has ever been released? Would like to see the whole thing. Only 56 minutes of highlights on the original 1989 BBC VHS video, and even less (25 minutes here) on the ILC DVD
Just read a book about a City lad 'Sully' about robbing the services all the way to London and battling the Spurs fans. Great to watch this game after reading that.
Must have been a Spurs fan who put these highlights together. City had three golden chances at 1-0, including Reeves hitting the post and Mackenzie rounding the keeper and putting it wide of an empty net, and yet they are deemed not worthy of showing. This video is a poor reflection of the game.

The old Wembley stadium looks much bigger and special.
First FA Cup Final I watched. I was a neutral and seemed to remember City being the better side.

Passed away now the lad, them were the days !
Poor Tommy Caton.Another excellent player who fell victim to the booze when his career ended prematurely.
Sadly Tommy Caton is late now.
Died from a heart attack aged only 30

The little coloured boy could have done better. Jack Charlton on David Bennett.
81' give him a break, what did you say this month that will be seen to be wrong or ill informed in 35 years ? let me know, if youtube is a thing.
So what? There's zero offence intended and I bet none taken by Dave.
@@bascet1 Too right mate.
It was said with no malice in 70s that was how things were.
@@philpcloney6677 how difficult is it to pronounce Dave Bennett
Why did they both say he scored at both ends? He scored both at the tunnel end.
Stupid foul by Gow, cost City the Cup. .
