For the second time in the 70s, the F.A. Cup final witnessed another David versus Goliath contest, as Lawrie Mc Menemys second division Southampton faced the might of Tommy Dochertys Manchester United beneath the twin towers, & just like 1972, Wembley would observe another Cup upset. It was a day to cherish for all Saints fans, as they defied the formbooks to record one of the greatest days in the Clubs history & take the F.A. Cup home for the very first time. United, as expected, began confidently, carving out the better opportunities of the first half. But a series of missed chances & fine saves from Turner in the Southampton goal kept the scoreline level, & as the match developed the Saints grew in confidence. The deciding moment came with only seven minutes remaining, when Bobby Stokes, who had just missed an earlier opportunity, raced onto a superb through ball from Mc Calliog & placed his shot high past Stepney, to spark euphoric celebrations. It was the start of a long hot summer & Southampton had clinched the F.A. Cup on an unforgettable May afternoon. So step back in time & enjoy this memorable final over again along with all the post-match reaction.
