The FA Cup final in the mid to late 1970s - always sunny and didn't the pitch look immaculate. It really was a special day. Shame the competition has been so devalued.
Particularly by Manchester United and Alex Ferguson in the early millenium, and not forgetting that the F.A.Cup was the one that saved him, when you all wanted him sacked!
@@applycontext9161 Does the year 2000 and an inaugral tournament in Brazil (that never took part again), ring any bells? Why did'nt Fergie let the reserves play in the F.A Cup, like he had done for years previously in the League Cup?? I remember when Man Utd got to the 1958 final against Bolton, after the air disaster with basically a reserve team. They were a classier club then, but carried on partly to uphold the integrity of the competition. A lot more people became Manchester United "dislikers" during Fergusons reign, that I had not previously seen under the likes of Tommy Doc and Ron Atkinson......and I don't particularly believe that, that was because Man Utd were more successful!
Glen Cansdale it was he won the competition 5 times. I also advise you to do your research, Alex Ferguson didn’t want to play his team because he was participating for the club World Cup. It was even the FA who adviced him to do it to help England, for their appeal to host the next euros or World Cup (I’m not sure). At the end of the day the truth is that Ferguson won the fa cup 5 times so you can’t say he disrespected the competition. Manchester United Gained a lot of haters because of their success under fergie
First final I know I watched. I was 7 at the time. First United kit I remember having was the white away top with the black stripe and black shorts. Pretty sure I got the entire kit that first time. I miss being a football mad kid.
Back in the day when the FA Cup meant something unlike today. Make the FA Cup relevant again by giving the 4th spot in the Champions League to the FA Cup winner.
Glad it hit Greenoff because Lou Macari was a wanker. He tried to claim the goal, but I think his piss poor shot was missing before it took the deflection. Jimmy Greenoff was an excellent player who should have been capped by England!
At that time as a 12 year old, I thought to myself.... why didn't Phil Neil dive and handle the ball? as at that time it wasn't a sending off offence! as a 48 year old now...I feel the same.
@@redflag8970 - The 79 final! Ugh! I remember that day well. I was staying over my uncle's that weekend. With about 10 minutes left I'd given up hope so went outside to kick the ball against a goal we'd made out of chicken wire. He then comes to the door and calls me over to say United had scored. I then went back outside. He calls me again! United had equalised! So I decided to watch the rest of it ... probably jinxed it!!
@@redflag8970 - Almost certainly! That Alan Sunderland goal was the stuff of nightmares. If it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't remember who he was.
@@JK-os8fv Yeah but them lucky scousers have won twice as many European Cups as you. Bob Paisley even won it three times in his 9 years in charge, compared to Fergies twice in 27 years.
The Most Successful English Club. Most Trophies won. And more to come. Sir Fergie, haha lmfao, has been shitting his Scottish Panties for the last 10 about Jurgen Klopp. And now we know why. He gonna fuck all you Mancs and World football up. Including COVID 19 . So fuck Manchester
Clive Thomas did it twice when a corner was on its way into the box and a goal was scored but disallowed. Derby v Man City 77 chalked off an equaliser for Man City, then in 78 at the World Cup in Argentina, can’t recall the game but it was Brazil denied that time.
Paisley and Fagan were just absolute gents. Shame he never won the fa cup as a manager - surely the greatest of them all? This is from an Evertonian!
Jimmy Case ! One of the great Cup Final goals.
Good goal, but you could tell by Alex Stepney's reaction that he knew he should have done slightly better!

Spot on

Glen Cansdale how did Alex Ferguson devalue it when he won it 5 times. It’s midtable teams that devalue it, you’re just a Manchester United hater

My birthday, 11 years, when football was innocent and clean. A game for eternity. For me, the greatest game ever as ManUnited-fan!
Y bithday 11 was wembley england hungary 4 1 1978 05 24.
Greeting from hungary
At the time I was 13 years old also the 1977 FA Cup Final between Liverpool and Manchester United which they denied Liverpool winning the treble.
They didn't deny Liverpool winning the treble. The European Cup wasn't won yet.
Good day. Thank you so much for the exellent video. Enjoyed and liked of course. Be happy always! Baku city

Alex Stepney being congratulated by Emlyn Hughes. One European Cup winner being congratulated by a man soon to win his first.
What a wonderful comment

Amber Puga I agree! Get rid of the League Cup too imo, carries no prestige but cheapens the fa cup with there being 2 domestic cups
it amazes me that the lesser successful big clubs put weakened teams out when its there only chance of real silverware.
@@redflag8970 that’s human nature, they are not going to let a lower team win although there has been some upsets.
It was the worst FA cup winning goal in history, but it was still great.

I’ve seen the build up to the first Man United goal a thousand times but still can’t work out what Keegan was trying to do with that header.
Trying to knock it across to number 8 Case. Pretty straightforward.
@@steveblack610 Exactly 👍

funny cos as a utd fan the 76 n 79 finals still hurt me.

Rome was conquered 3 days later. X6
hahahaha sorry, the treble is ours
We're still the only English club to have won the treble

Shame it's awful Motty, not Coleman commentating.
Ref blows for full time right in the middle of a cross into the box🙄

clemence had a mare
The most over-rated goalkeeper in that era........remember his howler at Hampden Park in 1976?
Keegan's last match?
Not, the European Cup Final a few days later was.
