I was 15 that day and standing with my old dad behind the goal where Taylor scored. Probably the best football day in my life. Driving down from Darlington I was so nervous before the match, but the sporting gods were on our side that day. Unforgettable. I’ll take it to my grave!!

Back in the day when the whole country would watch the FA Cup final because it was the only league game shown live on TV. Took TV execs and the FA another decade until it twigged that people liked to watch live football on telly and would pay to do so.
The best sight was Billy Bonds holding the cup aloft! The worst was Bobby Moore leading the opposition out. Bobby had claret & blue blood in his veins!
Always used to look forward to these finals, no matter who was in them. Unfortunately, a great many of them were dull boring affairs, including this one. Spurs V Coventry was one of the exceptions. Lpool V Everton twice were another 2.
Keeper had a mare didnt he. I was too nervous to watch the match...played football in my back garden with my brother. Came in when we were one nil up...I was nine. Up the Irons.
Quite right Nick n what a joke r top league is now .Players have to bigger Egos and managers can not install any disapline. We are Light years from Best Law n Charlton Formidable then n unlike today.Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands
@@glynnevans1851 Spot on Glynn. I certainly don't feel the same way about the game. I was lucky enough to see Best, Law , Charlton, Greaves and so many more great players. All the best for 2020.

@@glynnevans1851 I lived in Seven Kings, Essex and the West Ham of Moore, Peters and Hurst were my local team. My late Uncle used to take me to the matches. Whilst the hammers lost more than they won, I have happy memories of those times.

I got nicked at the arsenal game for fighting put in a cage with several other west ham fans didn't support either team. Wanted to see a game of football , I was 18 my dad went mad when the police arrived at the front door next day
who was the West Ham goalkeeper - was he the Aussie who used to drop kick the ball??? i remember it was the first time i saw a soccer match on tele!! ok ok - a football match [hey it not Aussie Rules!! the REAL football] i remember enjoying it tho ...
Football was football. Local lads, a few Irish, a few Scots, a Welsh lad on the wing. Not specifically this hammers team but someone must get it. Still support my team but it ain't what it was. Mores the pity
The old school commentators put todays to shame in terms of passion.David Coleman,Gerry Sinstadt,Hugh Johns,Tony Gubba,Barry Davies etc .. all unique styles .. made a poor game sound terrific.

The FA cups of the 70s were great , great teams great players great atmosphere and even the commentators were the greatest
The halcyon days mate, even the league cup meant something, Tuert 76 as an example.

Loved those old Wembley finals, incredible atmosphere
I was 10 years old. Alan Taylor has forever been my fav. west ham player because of this memory.
The last club to win the FA Cup with an entire team of Englishmen.That won’t ever happen again.⚒🏴
Interesting.. maybe an all British team might do it again like a Newcastle one day maybe 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
David Coleman. What a legend?
Brilliant Coleman !
No timewasting, no trainer on the pitch, a different world
Worth watching just for David Coleman's commentary.
Back when it meant a whole lot more
It can mean a lot again. It's down to the fans and the teams to put the trophy back up there again.

@@adamsamuel8593 as a west ham fan, I can tell you it still means a lot to me. Love the cup. Amazing competition
It still does
Pity bobby Moore wasn’t playing for us Hammers that day,what a legend RIP⚒
No injuries and no time wasting. Football was actually a sport in those days.
RIP Jimmy Conway (The only non-Englishman on the field that day)
Love the 70s football being a Liverpool fan great days
Loved these games as a kid. Back when the FA Cup meant something.
No gloves, like the ultra padding protection of todays goalkeepers. It must have felt like getting "six of the best" on the hands.
it looks wierd though dam i remember gary bailly not wearing gloves when the other keepers started wearing them
It really didn`t hurt that much at all.And much easier to catch the ball with bare hands too.
Back when teams across divisions could and would compete for the Cup. Just wish the result could've gone better for Fulham!
Am afraid to say the Fulham keeper was at fault for both goals
My first FA Cup Final live on TV in black and white.
The 1st final I can remember
Back in the day when the whole country would watch the FA Cup final because it was the only league game shown live on TV.
Took TV execs and the FA another decade until it twigged that people liked to watch live football on telly and would pay to do so.

'In The Mood' Glenn Miller. Now who did he play for?
Answers on a postcard.😊

I was 18 when I was at the final. I believe it was the last time a team won the cup fielding 11 Englishmen .

Keepers must have had bloody sore hands back then.
To Driffter: Also, cold and numb fingers. How ironic, in these times were see field footballers wearing gloves.
something of a forgotten FA Cup final
Whys is that do you think

West Ham playing against Bobby Moore! All a bit wierd.
Can't beat the old Wembley.
The old wembley was a monster of a stadium so many poeple packing into thoses stands the new one is so plastic and commercial
Watched it as a 11 yr old

English teams with English players - how did we get to where we are today?
real English football, teams aside, today is not the same
COME ON YOU IRONS!!!! WE ALL FOLLOW WEST HAM

Agreed, and don’t forget the great Brian Moore.
alan taylor may have scored the goals but billy bonds bossed the midfield all day long.
2 keeper mistakes i must admit. Wear gloves ffs.
Peter Mellor 2 Fulham 0. Useless.
Fulham GK was crap
Shocking poor quality boring game
