Re: FA Cup Finals

!976 Southampton v Man Utd. Used to enjoy it more in those days because there were more shocks. It has a certain inevitability about it these days. Another exciting Man U v Chelsea final this year probably.

Re: FA Cup Finals

I was Given a Leeds rosette in 1972. Not being a Leeds supporter I was not overly impressed. I used to listen on the radio when I couldn't watch the telly.
TheFA.com - Cup Final Statistics
has a list of results.

I also like the charity sheild and league cup in whatever guise it is now.
I particularly remember The Arsenal team in the shape of Tony Adams dropping Steve Morrow in the celebrations afterwards.

Re: FA Cup Finals

For me it would be the 1978 FA Cup Final when the underdogs Ipswich Town beat Arsenal 1-0.

Sadly, there are still ITFC supporters still dining out on that victory, including me.

I bet they do not dine out on the 9-0 drubbing they got at Old Trafford, still the record score for the Premiership.

Re: FA Cup Finals

I was at the 1977 Final which United beat Liddypuddle and was behind the goal that United scored in and I was at the 1984 final United v Brighton. I remember shouting hello to Jimmy Hill with a mouth full of pie!! I got drenched that day and didn't notice!! Didn't United stop Liddypuddle doing a double or something that year (1977)? *oops*

Re: FA Cup Finals

The first FA Cup I remember and I had the commentary on an LP too! was Liverpool v Newcastle in 1974. I used to watch the finals religiously along with the build up. Sad memories of Liverpool losing to Man Utd in 1977 but then winning the European Cup against Borussia Moenchengladbach a week later I still have the program for the European Cup final 1978 when Liverpool beat FC Bruge 1-0 at Wembley after a Kenny Dalglish goal.

Re: FA Cup Finals

They dont normally show the FA cup final up here due to the fact it normally clashes with two men and a dog watching East Stirling. So was really looking forward to it as Mrs P was out for the afternoon. All I can say is make me an apponitment at the dentist for next year. PS my Team are playing in the real cup final this week.

Re: FA Cup Finals

my first memory was watching that 79 cup final at my friends house, the fa cup was always a big event then, BBC & Itv would have the whole days schedule devoted to it. i used to go to watch sunderland play home & away late 80's to the mid 90's but it just got too expensive

but nowdays football on telly has hit overkill, it seems to be hype first,and the actual product second now

i prefer watching cricket more these days
