The 1964 FA Cup Final is
rightly remembered as one
of the most dramatic
finals ever witnessed.
Ron Greenwood’s
up-and-coming Hammers
were hot favourites, but
Second Division Preston
North End came close to
producing another major
upset in what has been
described as truly a
‘titanic battle’
beneath the Twin Towers.
Forty one years after
West Ham United’s last
FA Cup final appearance
in the inaugural ‘White
Horse’ final at
Wembley, confidence was
high, as they looked to
take the famous trophy
back to Upton Park for
the very first time in
their history, with
recently voted
‘Footballer of the
Year’ Bobby Moore
leading the Hammers’
charge for glory. Twice
the Hammers’ came from
behind before the winner
was eventually struck
deep in injury time. John
Sissons netted West
Ham’s first as latched
onto Johnny Byrne’s
return pass shortly after
Preston’s opener, and
Geoff Hurst rose to head
home the second
equaliser, which not for
the first time at the
famous stadium, he would
see his goal bound strike
hit the underside of the
cross-bar before crossing
the line. But it was
Ronnie Boyce who sealed
the victory when he met
Peter Brabrook’s cross
with great aplomb to send
the Hammers’ fans into
raptures. Take a
step-back in time with
this specially produced
DVD that brings back to
life this historic match,
which also features the
original commentary and
post match interviews
with Bobby Moore, Ronnie
Boyce and Ron Greenwood
as they reflect on a
momentous victory.

Bidding for a record
eighth FA Cup triumph and
having never lost an FA
Cup Final, Spurs headed
into this one full of
confidence that victory
was surely theirs. But
facing Coventry, who
were appearing in their
first final after 104
years of trying, was it
ever going to be that
straightforward?, After
defeating Manchester
United in the fourth
round, Coventry coach
John Sillet had boldly
declared that his
Club’s name was “on
the cup”, but with
only two minutes into the
Final itself, his
predictions seemed to be
falling apart at the
seams as footballer of
the year Clive Allen
headed home from
Waddle’s cross to make
it 1-0, and the
pre-match favourites were
proving the pundits
right. But Coventry had
other ideas, as Dave
Bennett, who had
suffered Cup Final
heart-ache in 1981,
capitalised on confusion
in the Spurs defence to
pull the sky blues level
after only 9 minutes,
and it was game on. Gary
Mabbutt pushed Spurs
ahead once again before
half time, but that was
levelled by one of the
most memorable Cup Final
goals and celebrations
ever seen in FA Cup Final
history, as Keith
Houchen dived full length
to head powerfully past
Ray Clemence and run off
behind the goal to
celebrate with the
jubilant Sky Blues fans.
Extra time was needed,
but it took only 6
minutes for the deciding
goal to be struck, when
Lloyd McGrath’s centre
took a wicked deflection
and Clemence was beaten
once again. The
unthinkable had happened
and Coventry had won the
Cup, now relive this
unforgettable moment of
history for the ‘Sky
Blues’, with the full
120 minutes of a match
that will never ever be
forgotten.

Newcastle Utd v
Manchester City1955 FA
Cup Final For the third
time in five years
Newcastle returned to
Wembley to seal the FA
Cup for a record sixth
time in their illustrious
history. It was a day
full of drama, as
Wembley bathed in the May
sunshine, and both sets
supporters created an
atmosphere that was a
wonder to behold. On the
eve of the final, Jackie
Milburn is"ed as
saying that the match
will be “like playing a
home tie”, and the
Newcastle great made no
mistake in laying his
marker on the game by
scoring the fastest FA
Cup final goal ever up to
that time. It would be a
record that he would hold
until 1997 when
Chelsea’s Roberto Di
Matteo scored after only
43-seconds to beat
Milburn. The match had
barely kicked-off when
Newcastle won a corner,
and from White’s
delivery Milburn rose to
head home with superb
accuracy. The goal was
timed at 45-seconds and
Newcastle proceeded to
dominate the early
stages. With nearly 20
minutes on the clock,
City suffered another
blow, losing their
full-back Meadows, and
similar to 1952,
Newcastle now faced 10
men. But with their
goal-keeper Trautmann in
inspired form, City held
on and began to press
forward and against all
odds equalised on the
stroke of half-time. But
the City resistance was
not able to withstand the
Newcastle pressure in the
second half, and a seven
minute spell ensured the
Cup would be heading
North East. First,
Mitchell beta Trautmann
to make it two on 53
minutes, and then Hannah
added the third after
Trautmann had parried
from Mitchell. Remarkably
to date, it would be the
last time the Club would
win the famous cup. So
relive this historic day,
as we bring you the full
90 minutes for the very
first time on DVD, when
Newcastle were the Kings
of Wembley.

In Ruud Gullit’s first
season in charge, the
Blues reacquainted
themselves with the
country’s most
prestigious competition
after 27 years of
waiting. It was a day
that history was created.
Ruud Gullit himself
became the first foreign
coach to win a domestic
honour and Roberto Di
Matteo scored Wembley’s
fastest ever FA Cup final
goal after only 43
seconds. Inheriting the
seeds of a promising side
from former manager Glen
Hoddle, Gullit soon
stamped his own
individuality onto the
team with an influx of
foreign stars. In came
Gianfranco Zola, Roberto
Di Matteo, Frank Leboeuf
and Gianluca Vialli, and
the team blossomed into
one of the
Premiership’s most
stylish sides competing
for one of the major
honours. The final itself
couldn’t have started
any better for the Blues.
Before a minute had even
passed, Roberto Di
Matteo picked up the ball
in the centre of the
park, and with the
defence backing off, he
launched a blistering
attack on the
Middlesbrough goal.
Carrying the ball from
inside his own half, the
Italian international
unleashed a venomous shot
a fully thirty yards from
goal, which arced over
the hapless Roberts and
nestled in the Wembley
net. With the Chelsea
fans in great voice,
Wembley was a sea of
Blue. But the game had to
wait until the final ten
minutes for any change to
the score line, when
Eddie Newton, who had
started the move, was on
hand to steer home
Zola’s flick from close
range. The goal signalled
a mass of euphoric
celebrations around the
stadium and Dennis Wise
made the much-coveted
walk up the famous
Wembley steps to collect
the trophy for the second
time in Chelsea’s
history. Relive the day
that FA Cup history was
created.

Tottenham Hotspur v
Manchester City – 1981
FA Cup Final The 1981
F.A. Cup became only the
tenth final in history to
finish in a draw, and to
a replay it went on a
damp Wednesday evening in
April. But the fireworks
were well and truly lit
that night, as the
nation was treated to a
cracker, and a goal of
sublime quality by Ricky
Villa as Spurs clinched
the F.A. Cup for the 6th
time in their history.
The game flowed from the
very first whistle, with
both Spurs and City
finding the back of the
net in the opening
exchanges, and that’s
how it remained until the
second half, when Bennet
went down in the
penalty-area and
Sheffield referee Keith
Hackett awarded a
spot-kick to City, the
first in a final since
1962 and only the fifth
ever in a Wembley final.
Reeves converted the
penalty, but as before
Spurs came back, and
with twenty minutes
remaining Crooks
equalised, setting the
stage for one of the
greatest winning goals
ever seen in a Wembley
final. Facing a sea of
blue shirts as he picked
the ball up on the edge
of the City area, Villa
embarked on an amazing
weaving run through the
City defence before
sliding the ball past an
advancing Corrigan and
wheeling away in
celebration. A truly
spectacular goal to
decide a classic F.A. Cup
final Enjoy this
unbelievable final once

Manchester United vs SL
Benfica 1968 European Cup
Final 29th May 1968 DVD
Manchester Uniteds dream
of capturing the coverted
European Cup was finally
fulfilled on a balmy,
never-to-be-forgotten,
night at the Wembley
Stadium. It was the
dramatic conclusion to a
twelve year quest to
claim the enormous
trophy, which had began,
under the guidance of
legendary manager Matt
Busby, in 1956 when
United became the first
English club to enter the
competition. An near
capacity crowd packed
Wembley for the
eagerly-awaited clash,
but it wasn't until the
second half the the
contest really got into
its stride. Bobby
Charlton gave United the
lead early in the second
half, but with ten
minutes remaining Jamie
Graca scored to put
Benfica on level terms.
No further goals in
normal time meant that an
extra half hour was
required to decide the
destination of the
gleaming trophy, but
United didn't need that
long for within ten
minutes George Best,
Brian Kidd, (on his 19th
birthday), and Bobby
Charlton had scored to
put United on course for
glory. It was a
particularly poignant
occasion for Busby,
Charlton and Foulkes for
they had survived the
Munich Air Disaster of
ten years earlier when 23
people, including 11
players and staff,
perished on the snowy
wastes of a Bavarian
airfield when their plane
crashed after two
previous attempts to
take-off had been
aborted. The United party
had stopped off in the
German city to re-fuel on
their journey home from a
European cup-tie against
Red Star in Belgrade.
Manchester United had
become English football's
first ever 'Kings of
Europe' and twenty four
hours later there were
close on a million people
thronging Central
Manchester when the team
paraded the European Cup
through the streets. It
was the pinnacle of
achievement for the club
at the time and the
triumph was further
recognised soon after
when Matt Busby was
knighted in the Queens
Birthday Honours List.
Bonus Feature:'The Boys
Of 68' Sir Matt Busby and
Bobby Charlton re-live
that Magical night at
Wembley together, as
this wonderful
documentary takes the
players and management
back to that May evening
in 1968 beneath the twin

Ipswich Town v Arsenal
– 1978 FA Cup Final The
1970’s finals were
rapidly becoming the
decade of shocks, and
the 1978 final, somewhat
unfairly went down as
another major turn-up,
as Ipswich Town put a
disappointing league
campaign behind them,
shrugged off the underdog
tag and took the match to
Arsenal. Despite a season
of struggle, Ipswich
boss Bobby Robson boasted
a side which had finished
the previous year in
third place in the
league, and on their
day, were more than a
match for any side, and
so it proved in their
first ever Cup final
appearance. Three times
Ipswich hit the woodwork,
with John Wark and Paul
Mariner displaying their
international class;
Kevin Beattie and George
Burley both had headers
superbly saved by Pat
Jennings, and the
back-line kept
Arsenal’s attacking
prowess at bay. The
breakthrough eventually
came with only thirteen
minutes remaining, when
David Geddis’ cross
fell into the path of
Roger Osborne, who
drilled home a first-time
shot. Roger Osborne’s
over-enthusiastic
celebration caused him to
faint, but few minded as
the F.A. Cup headed to
Suffolk for the very
first time.

For the second time in
the 70’s, the F.A. Cup
final witnessed another
David versus Goliath
contest, as Lawrie
McMenemy’s second
division Southampton
faced the might of Tommy
Docherty’s Manchester
United beneath the twin
towers, and 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 Club’s history and
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 and
fine saves from Turner in
the Southampton goal kept
the scoreline level, and
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
McCalliog and placed his
shot high past Stepney,
to spark euphoric
celebrations. It was the
start of a long hot
summer and Southampton
had clinched the F.A. Cup
on an unforgettable May
afternoon. So step back

memorable final over

Trophy to return to the
East End of London in the
second ever all-London

striker who had started
the season with Rochdale

that he would eventually

third brace in as many
matches, after seeing
off Arsenal and Fulham in
the previous rounds, and
now adding Fulham to his
list of victims. It had
been a season of
consolidation as the
Hammers finished the
campaign in 13th
position, but FA Cup

Arsenal Vs Manchester Utd
FA Cup Final 2005 DVD.
Arsenal won their 10th FA
Cup Final and their 4th
in the space of 8 years
as Arsene Wenger's side
finished the season on a
high at the Millennium
Stadium by beating their
arch rivals Manchester
United. For the first
time in FA Cup history,
the Final was decided by
a penalty shoot-out. Jens
Lehmann gave Arsenal the
edge with a wonderful
save from Paul Scholes
and captain Patrick
Vieira fired home the
winning spot-kick. It was
a glorious climax for the
Gunners and a wonderful
defensive display of
determination and class
as Manchester United
couldn't break down the
Arsenal rearguard. Wayne
Rooney went close on
three occasions before
the break and hit the
post in the second half,
Freddie Ljungberg nodded
Ruud van Nistelrooy's
header onto the underside
of the bar and out, and
Roy Keane was one of a
posse of United players
to squander chances.
Arsenal's best chance
came in extra time
through a Robin Van
Persie free kick which
Roy Carroll did well to
save and then in the
dying seconds of the game
Jose Antonio Reyes was
sent off. So after the
two teams couldn't be
separated over 120
minutes The FA Cup Final
was to be decided by
penalties. Van Nistelrooy
scored. Lauren matched
him. Then Lehmann sprang

Scholes' effort.
Ljungberg put Arsenal in

League Cup Final DVD.
Quite simply the greatest
day in Queens Park
Rangers' illustrious
history, as one of
Wembley's most memorable
comebacks is performed,
and the League Cup is
treated to a classic that
would be remembered for
years to come. It was a
season of change for the
competition: out went the
two-legged final, and in
came a one-off finale,
staged for the first time
at the home of football,
Wembley, and Queens Park
Rangers became the first
Club outside of the top
two divisions to ever
appear in a Wembley
final. After defeating
Leicester and Birmingham
along the way, it was
another Midlands team
that waited in the final,
and a capacity Wembley
crowd anticipated what
was to be a thrilling
contest on a glorious
spring afternoon. It was
former Rangers striker
Clive Clark who seemed to
be relishing the Cup
Final stage, scoring
twice in the first half
to give the Baggies a
comfortable two goal lead
at the break, and the
writing was on the wall
as far as the pundits
were concerned. But
Rangers simply refused to
lie down and accept
defeat, and back they
came with a performance
that stunned their first
division opponents. Roger
Morgan pulled one back
shortly after the
restart, before Rodney
Marsh cut through the
Albion defence with
breathtaking ease to

Whilst the scoreline of
the replay suggests
otherwise, the 1983 FA
Cup Final came so close
to turning the form books
upside down and producing
the shock of the season,
as Gary Bailey denied
Gordon Smith and Brighton
& Hove Albion from
following in the
footsteps of Southampton
in 1976, and forcing the
replay that United would
comfortably win. After
Brighton had taken the
lead in the first half,
United hit back with two
second half goals from
Frank Stapleton and Ray
Wilkins, and were
seemingly heading towards
their fifth FA Cup Final
triumph, but a late
equaliser from Gary
Stevens with only three
minutes remaining,
brought the tie level,
and in the end United had
to be content with a
replay as Gordon Smith
missed a glorious chance
to shower his team with
FA Cup glory, and five
days later they would be
back at Wembley fighting
it out once again. But
this time around the
difference in league
standings was clear to
see, as United produced
a performance that was
indicative of their
unbeaten home record in
the league, and clinched
the Cup by the biggest
margin since Bury
defeated Derby 6-0 in
1903. Two goals in five
minutes mid-way through
the first half by Bryan
Robson and then by the
youngest Cup Final
scorer, Norman
Whiteside, just 18 at
the time, set United on
course, and Robson’s
second before half time
put them beyond reach.
Arnold Muhren completed
the scoring from the
penalty spot on 63
minutes, and the trophy
was heading back to Old
Trafford. Norman
Whiteside became the
youngest player to score
in a Wembley final, and
United had won the cup
for the fifth time on Sir
Matt Busby’s 74th
birthday. With the full
uninterrupted 90 minutes

quite like an emphatic

In the Premiership’s
inaugural season,
Arsenal once again
created history by
becoming the first Club
ever to attain a domestic
cup double, winning both
the FA Cup and League Cup
in the same season.
Ironically, the Gunners
met Sheffield Wednesday
in both finals, and
defeated their Yorkshire
rivals by the same score
in both finals, albeit
with the aid of a replay
in this one. Before the
kick-off, another piece
of FA Cup history was
created, as Steve Morrow
became the first player
ever to be presented with
a winner’s medal before
a ball had been kicked,
receiving his League Cup
winner’s medal some
four weeks after scoring
the winning goal in the
final. When the match did
get on the way, the
contest remained a tight
affair. Ian Wright headed
Arsenal into a first half
lead, but Wednesday’s
resilience paid dividends
as David Hurst equalised
mid-way through the
second half, and 1-1 it
remained with both teams
returning to Wembley for
the 4th time in the
season to commence battle
once again. With the
replay following a
similar pattern to the
first, Wright once again
notched Arsenal ahead in
the first half, and
Chris Waddle levelled for
Wednesday with the aid of
a deflection in the
second, and with extra
time needed, it seemed
that the FA Cup Final
would be decided by
penalties for the very
first time. But with
seconds remaining, Andy
Linighan became the hero
of the hour, rising to
meet Merson’s corner
and powering a header
past a helpless Woods in
the Wednesday net. The
Cup was on its way back
to Highbury for the first
time in 14 years and the
double was complete. So

day, as we bring you the

Ater 95 years of FA Cup
history, the final
eventually played host to
an all London affair, as
Spurs chased an
incredible 5th and
Chelsea were still
searching for that
inaugural 1st. Having
endured differing
seasons, Spurs had
enjoyed their best finish
since 1963, whereas
Chelsea had suffered
their worst. It was to be
a much anticipated
affair, as emotions ran
high and loyalty held
firm. Spurs were
favourites, and the
match went according to
form, as they
effectively controlled
the whole game from the
very start, and maybe
should have won by more
than the single goal
shows. As half–time
approached, and the
match still goalless,
the breakthrough
eventually came. Alan
Mullery unleashed a shot
from outside of the box
that struck Ron Harris
and fell perfectly for
Jimmy Robertson, who
made no mistake by firing
his shot past Bonetti,
and Spurs had the lead
they deserved. As the 2nd
half continued along the
same lines as the 1st,
it came as no surprise
when Spurs doubled their
advantage to all but
secure another FA Cup
triumph. It came in the
68th minute, when
goalscorer turned
provider, and Jimmy
Robertson fed Frank Saul,
who turned swiftly to
beat Bonetti, and how
one half of Wembley
celebrated. Chelsea
pulled one back with four
minutes remaining, but
it proved little more
than a consolation, and
for all Spurs’
dominance the scoreline
ultimately flattered
Chelsea, as the Cup
headed back to White Hart
Lane for a third time in
the decade. So now relive
once again the first all
London FA Cup Final,
when Spurs emerged
victorious in this
specially produced
extended highlights

encapsulates all of the

United to a 3-3 draw in
the first clash before
returning to Wembley to
do it all again. But who
knew then, on that
Thursday evening in May
that it would mark one of
the biggest turning
points in the Club’s
history, as the rest of
the decade would be
littered with
unparalleled success.
After 4 years without
triumph, Alex
Ferguson’s reign at the
helm of the Club was
looking uncertain;
patience was running low,
but to the eternal
credit of the board,
they kept faith with the
ambitious Scotsman, and
United got their rewards.
Unlike the first match,
the replay was a tight
affair, and the first
half past without a goal
being scored. But as the
game wore on, and United
began to create, Webb
went down the right and
hit an accurate cross
that evaded the Palace
defence, Lee Martin
controlled and smashed
the ball into the Palace
net. United continued to
dominate, but were
unable to add to the
scoreline. Robson hit the
crossbar, but 1-0 it
remained. The Cup was on
its way back to Old
Trafford, and Bryan
Robson became the first
player to lift the FA Cup
three times at Wembley as
Captain. It was an
historic day for both the
Club and Alex Ferguson.

match once again, with

With United gunning for
their second double in
three seasons, this
final brought back
memories of the 1977
final, when these two
rivals met for the first
time beneath the ‘Twin
Towers’, and United
denied the Merseysiders
of the double, but 19
years later, United
weren’t to be denied,
and the double double was
complete in successive
seasons. United started
with confidence, and
Beckham struck a
‘bullet-shot’ that
James did well to save in
the opening exchanges.
But the expected
breakthrough didn’t
follow, and tension
mounted. The 1st half
passed and the 2nd
continued in a similar
manner as extra time
loomed. But with 85
minutes played Beckham
sent over an out-swinging
corner, which James only
managed to parry and
newly crowned
‘Footballer of the
Year’ Eric Cantona
pounced. The Frenchman,
within an instant
re-positioned himself and
drove the ball back
through a crowded penalty
area and into the net. It
had been a remarkable
year for the hugely
talented Cantona, who
had marked his return to
football after an absence
of 8 years with an
awe-inspiring season that
didn’t go unnoticed by
the critics. “You
don’t win anything with
kids” said former
Liverpool player and
pundit Alan Hansen at the
start of that season
about United’s young
team. Nine months later,
these same kids had won
the double and had made
their mark in football
history. So now relive
this day in history once
again, when Eric Cantona
became the first
Frenchman to lead his
team up the Wembley steps
and receive the Cup for a
record 9th time for the
Club.

Chasing the Club’s
first ever domestic
double, United headed
into the 1994 FA Cup
Final as firm favourites
to achieve what no other
United team had done
before. But whilst the
season was very much full
of joy on the pitch, it
was marred by the
untimely passing of Sir
Matt Busby off it.
However, as one United
legacy was fondly
remembered, another one
was being created. As the
rain poured down over
Wembley, the match
started slowly, and
Chelsea who had beaten
United twice in the
league already in the
season, had the better
of the opening exchanges.
Gavin Peacock was the
closest to breaking the
deadlock with a fierce
dipping volley that
crashed against the bar,
but it remained goalless.
However, after 60
minutes, the game
changed completely as
United found the kind of
form that had enabled
them to clinch the
Premiership trophy for
the second season
running. Eric Cantona
scored first from the
spot, and then 6 minutes
later he did exactly the
same again, as another
Chelsea offence led to a
United penalty, and
Cantona stepped-up to
make it 2-0. United were
now red-hot and Mark
Hughes all but sealed the
victory 2 minutes later
as he smashed the ball
under a despairing
Kharine. It was all
United, and the icing
was on the cake in the
final minute, as another
slick move ended with
Brian McClair making it
4-0. The double was
complete in dramatic
style, and Steve Bruce
climbed the Wembley steps
to equal Spurs record of
8 FA Cup triumphs. A
magnificent day to relive
over and over again when
United realised their
‘double dream’.

Tottenham Hotspur v
Leicester City 1961 FA
Cup Final The day that
another piece of
footballing history was
created, as Spurs become
the first Club in the
20th Century to achieve
the treasured League and
FA Cup double. Not since
Aston Villa in 1897 had
this been attained, and
with their own brand of
attacking football few
doubted that Spurs were
the finest team in the
land. Having won the
championship in style,
Spurs were odds on
favourites to walk away
with the cup in their
first ever Wembley
appearance, but in goal
for Leicester that
afternoon was a young man
named Gordon Banks, who
would have his moments of
glory beneath the twin
towers, but was unable
to prevent Spurs from
creating history on this
occasion. Leicester
frustrated Spurs in the
early exchanges, but
were no doubt hampered by
an injury to their
full-back Chalmers
mid-way through the first
half. Spurs looked to
capitalise and were
unfortunate to see Cliff
Jones’ goal disallowed
for off-side offence in
the 38th minute and the
first half ended without
score. The deadlock was
eventually broken in the
66th minute when England
striker Bobby Smith
latched onto a pass from
Dyson, turned and
smashed the ball past
Banks. The goal naturally
lifted Spurs, and nine
minutes later the victory
was sealed, as Smith
returned the compliment
and crossed for Dyson to
head home the second and
complete the double.
Spurs captain and
Footballer of the Year
Danny Blanchflower led
his team up the famous 39
steps to receive the Cup,
and cap a landmark day
for the Club. It had been
40 years since they last
had their hands on the
famous trophy, and now
it was on its way back to
White Hart Lane to
complete the most
successful season in the
Club’s illustrious
history. So now relive
this historic victory for
one of the finest clubs
in English football, as
we bring you extended
highlights of the final
in this specially
produced DVD.

Stoke City Vs Chelsea
1972 League Cup Final
DVD. After 109 years of
trying, success had
finally arrived. The
1970's had seen an upturn
in fortune for the
Potters: Having reached
the FA Cup semi final in
1971, the 1972 witnessed
the Club's first ever Cup
final appearance, and
what an afternoon it
proved to be. Defeating
Manchester United and
West Ham along the way,
it was Chelsea in the
final and a capacity
Wembley crowd waited. The
Londoners were the
pundits favourites, but
Tony Waddington's Stoke
had other ideas, and the
thousands that had made
the journey down the M6
were certainly intent on
making it an occasion to
savour, as the sound of
"we'll be with you"
echoed around the famous
stadium. The scene was
set, one half of Wembley
was painted red and
white, and what a
thrilling contest it
turned out to be. With
only five minutes played,
a goalmouth scramble
caused panic in the
Chelsea back-line and
Conroy pounced to head
past Bonetti. It was the
perfect start, which
sparked wild
celebrations. But as half
time approached, Osgood
seized on a loose ball to
steer home the equaliser,
and Chelsea were back in
it. The scoreline
remained level for much
of the second half,
until the cup fairytale
came true for George
Eastham. With just under
twenty minutes remaining,
Eastham capitalised on
Bonetti's parry to lift
the ball past the
stranded keeper, and cap
a tremendous season for
the old campaigner. How
the travelling fans
celebrated this historic
victory for the Club,
and now relive this
unforgettable day all
over again, as we bring
you the extended
highlights from the match
itself, including all of
the post match
celebrations and
interviews from the Stoke
dressing room, and a
special bonus interview
filmed the day after the
final with the goal
scoring hero George
Eastham. This is one

history that no fan

Tottenham Hotspur v
Nottingham Forest 1991 FA
Cup Final Having created
history by playing in the
first FA Cup semi-final
at Wembley, Spurs headed
into this one confident
of reacquainting
themselves with the Cup
they had become so
familiar with down the
years, and for the 5th
decade in succession they
maintained the curious
record of winning a major
trophy in a year ending
in the figure ‘1’.
After his stunning free
kick in the semi-final,
all eyes were on Paul
Gascoigne. But one of
England’s most
naturally gifted players
ever in history made the
headlines for all the
wrong reasons. His
infamous challenge on
Forest’s Gary Charles
after only 15 minutes
resulted in the
charismatic midfielder
being stretchered off the
field and out of football
for over a year. To make
matters worse for Spurs,
Stuart Pearce scored from
the resultant free-kick,
and in the 32nd minute
when it appeared they had
been offered the perfect
opportunity to get back
into the match, Lineker
saw his spot-kick saved
by Crossley, and half
time came with Forest
holding the advantage.
But persistence paid off,
and with only 9 minutes
of the 2nd half played,
Spurs deservedly
levelled, when Allen
burst through the middle
of the park before laying
the ball off to Paul
Stewart, who this time
fired the ball past
Crossley to make it all
square. Spurs looked for
the winner, but Forest
managed to force extra
time. Then, in the 94th
minute, it was a little
case of history repeating
itself, but this time in
Spurs favour, as
Nayim’s corner was
headed across to the far
post by Stewart, and Des
Walker became the
unfortunate Forest
defender to head into his
own goal. It was a
fantastic 8th for Spurs,
now relive this dramatic
day all over again.

Arsenal v Liverpool 1971
FA Cup Final Having all
already clinched the
league title, the
Gunners headed for
Wembley chasing that all
elusive double. Facing
what was to be the second
of Bill Shankly’s great
sides, it took extra
time and a moment of
class to separate these
two giants of the English
game. Regarded as one of
the most enduring images
of FA Cup final history,
Charlie George lay flat
on his back having
clinched the winning goal
deep in extra time,
after both teams had
endured a match of
pulsating football and a
hatful of missed chances.
With the score line level
at the end of ninety
minutes, were Arsenal to
rue their missed chances,
as Kennedy, Armstrong
and Radford all passed up
opportunities, and were
Liverpool now believing
with the introduction of
Thompson, that this
could be their day. And
it certainly did seem
like being Liverpool’s
day when Heighway drove
the ball past Wilson from
an acute angle, with
only two minutes of
extra-time played. But
the willpower and
perseverance that Arsenal
had displayed all season
once again stood them in
good stead, as they dug
deep to clinch the cup.
First it was Graham who
levelled, and then with
eight minutes remaining,
Charlie George struck an
unstoppable twenty-yard
shot, and cue the famous
celebration. Arsenal
celebrated and the Double
was completed. It was a
final that will never be

Real Madrid vs Eintracht
1960 European Cup Final

greatest club side the

Bill Shankly 1960 The
1960 European Cup Final
between Real Madrid and
Eintracht Frankfurt is
considered by many to be
the greatest ever played.
Real were crowned
king’s of Europe for
the fifth straight time
on that incredible day at
Hampden Park in front of
a world record 135, 000
fans. Real Madrid had
dominated the European
cup from its inception in
1956 and on that hot
summers day in Glasgow as
Real played some of the
best football ever seen
and caused astonishment
all over the world.
Although the German side
opened the scoring, the
white machine eventually
crushed them. The four
goals by Ferenc Puskas
together with Alfredo di
Stéfano’s three proved
enough to certify the
superiority of the squad
that Miguel Muñoz was
coaching at the time. It
was in that game when the
Whites made football into
art. "The way these
wonderful artists feet
play football was easy,
so easy that it looked
like a dream. This sort

Wolverhampton Wanderers v
Blackburn Rovers 1960 FA
Cup Final Having won the
league the previous two
seasons, Wolves had been
pipped by a single point
by Burnley as the 1959/60
season drew to a close,
but with the FA Cup Final
still to contest,
silverware could still be
added to an ever-growing
trophy cabinet as Wembley
beckoned. Facing
Blackburn Rovers who had
finished the season in
17th in only their second
season back in the first
division, Wolves were
hot favourites to clinch
the cup for the fourth
time in their history,
and who would bet against
them, as they eventually
strolled to a comfortable
3-0 victory. Their
opening goal on 41
minutes can only be
described as a ‘gift’
from the Blackburn
defence, as Stobart’s
cross was deflected past
his own goal keeper by
the unfortunate Blackburn
defender Mick McGrath. If
Wolves had been dealt the
upper-hand with the goal,
2 minutes later
Blackburn’s woes
heightened as full-back
Dave Whelan fractured his
leg, and Rovers faced
the prospect of playing
the whole second half
with only 10 men. Midway
through the second half
Norman Deeley scored from
Horne’s cross to all
but seal the victory for
Wolves, and with 2
minutes to go, the icing
was on the cake as Deeley
hit his second to make it
3-0 after Stobart had
nearly up-rooted the goal
posts with a ferocious
shot. Bill Slater led the
players up the famous
Wembley steps, and the
Cup was heading back to
Molineux for a record 4th

1999 FA Cup Final -
Manchester United v
Newcastle United DVD
Special Commemorative
Edition As United lined
up for the final FA Cup
showdown of the decade,
they were records to be
broken. Not only chasing
their 4th FA Cup win of
the decade and a record
10th overall, they were
also on the verge of
clinching an unbelievable
3rd double of the 1990's,
as well as vying for the
unprecedented treble,
with the European Cup
Final just days away
Facing Newcastle, who
had lost out at Wembley
the previous season, the
Magpies were desperate to
add silverware after
years of trying, but
United had other ideas,
and after the drama of
the semi-final clash at
Villa Park against
arch-rivals Arsenal,
they proved just too good
on the day, despite
losing Roy Keane after
only 9 minutes But it was
a stroke of tactical
master-class from
Ferguson that led to
United's opener. Bringing
on Teddy Sherringham to
replace Keane, Solskjaer
moved onto the right of
midfield and Beckham
switched to a central
role, with Sherringham
now partnered with
Scholes in attack, and
within 100 seconds of
stepping onto the field,
it was the substitute who
orchestrated a move that
he finished himself by
firing through the legs
of Harper. United looked
in control, and after a
brief Newcastle revival
at the start of the
second half, it was
United who struck again.
This time it was
Sherringham who was the
provider, as he laid the
ball into the path of
Scholes, who made no
mistake in firing home
from the edge of the box
Looking to wrap it up,
United swarmed forward,
and could quite possibly
have had 3 or 4 more,
with Sherringham going
closest with a chip that
agonizingly hit the bar.
But 2-0 it remained, and
part 2 of 3 was complete.

Bolton Wanderers v
Manchester Utd 1958 FA
Cup Final It had been 29
years since Bolton
Wanderers had last won
the FA Cup, and facing a
Manchester United side
that had been decimated
by the Munich air
disaster, there would
rarely be a more emotive
match between the two
local rivals. United had
the emotional backing of
the nation, but with the
memories of 1953 still
fresh in many players
minds, Bolton were
intent on making amends
for the heartbreak
suffered only 5 years
earlier to Blackpool.
Bolton were simply the
better team on the day,
and it took only 3
minutes for one of the
town’s greatest sons to
break the deadlock.
Edwards crossed and Nat
Lofthouse beat Harry
Gregg in the United goal
from close range, but
that wouldn’t be the
only time that the paths
of these old adversaries
would cross in this
match. In the 55th minute
an incident occurred that
has been spoke about as
fervently today as it was
then. A shot from Stevens
was saved by Gregg, but
as he collected the ball,
an on-rushing Nat
Lofthouse bundled both
the keeper and the ball
into the net and the goal
was given. United had no
way back, and the cup
was heading back to

Upsets don’t come much
bigger than this. After
defeating Arsenal in the
Centenary Cup final of
1972, and already in the
final of the European Cup
Winners’ Cup, Leeds
were now chasing their
second Wembley triumph in
successive seasons, and
the pundits didn’t give
Bob Stokoe’s second
division Sunderland a
prayer. But Sunderland
got their tactics spot
on. Tackling defiantly
with an unremitting
determination, Leeds
looked edgy, and the
match itself was decided
by two crucial moments
that would be talked
about for years to come.
The first came on 31
minutes, when Ian
Porterfield swept home a
sweet volley from the
edge of the area to open
the scoring and send the
Sunderland fans into
raptures. Leeds were
obviously shocked, yet
battled back with
predictable
determination. But
Sunderland’s goalkeeper
Jim Montgomery was
outstanding, preserving
his team’s lead with a
string of fine saves. And
then came the moment that
defied belief, as
Montgomery produced an
unbelievable double save
that will go down in
goalkeeping folklore as
well as F.A. Cup history.
The final whistle
prompted delirious
celebrations as Bob
Stokoe embraced his
heroic goalkeeper, and
Sunderland became only
the second Division Two
side to win the Cup since
West Bromwich Albion
emerged victorious in
1931. Relive this
unforgettable match all
over again in this
specially produced
programme, which also
features a rare pre-match
interview with Bob Stokoe
ahead of the kick-off.

Manchester City v
Leicester City 1969 FA
Cup Final Having won the
league championship the
previous season, City
returned to Wembley eager
to add the FA Cup to
their impressive list of
honours in the late
1960’s. It was a golden
era for the Club, as
Mercer and Allison
watched on from the
sidelines, and
Summerbee, Bell, Lee
and co turned on the
style on the pitch. In
the weeks leading up to
the final, City
announced they would be
wearing their new change
strip of red and black,
rather than the
traditional sky blue. It
was Allison’s
suggestion, believing
that it would give City
the kind of invincibility
enjoyed by AC Milan. In a
bizarre scenario Allison
was forced to watch the
match from the stands,
because of the touchline
ban he was serving, but
instead of opting for an
elevated position, the
camera’s picked out the
City assistant sitting
with the fans on the
front row, which
ironically brought him
closer to the pitch than
the bench. In a fast and
open game, there were
chances at both ends,
but a solitary goal would
decide this final, which
swung in City’s favour.
It came in the 24th
minute, as Summerbee’s
low cross was met by a
thunderous shot by Neil
Young, and City had a
lead they would not
relinquish. An estimated
250, 000 people lined the
streets of Manchester for
the victory parade the
following afternoon, and
Mercer addressed his
beloved fans as the first
man to win the FA Cup and
League Championship as
both player and manager.
So now relive this
historic day for the
Club, as City claim
their 4th FA Cup crown,
and we bring you the full
uninterrupted 90 minutes
in colour, plus a
special bonus feature of
the goals from 1956 when
City last returned from
Wembley triumphant.

Blackpool v Bolton
Wanderers 1953 FA Cup
Final Known as the
‘Matthews Final’, it
was third time lucky for
both Blackpool and the
legendary winger. Having
twice left Wembley
empty-handed in 1948 and
1951, the Seasiders
returned to the famous
stadium eager to avenge
their previous
disappointments, but it
would take an
extraordinary performance
by the sensational
Matthews to rescue
victory from the jaws of
defeat. Bolton’s
newly-crowned footballer
of the year Nat Lofthouse
maintained his record of
scoring in every round as
early as the second
minute, and the
Wanderers looked in
control. But Blackpool
came back and Mortensen
levelled with ten minutes
of the first half
remaining, only for
Bolton to regain the lead
within five minutes and
then score again shortly
after the re-start to
make Blackpool’s task
almost insurmountable.
But with his teams’
destiny looking
incredibly bleak,
Matthews began to take
control of the
proceedings and started
to dazzle the Bolton
defence with his trickery
down the right. Mortensen
capitalised on a mistake
by the Bolton keeper with
just over twenty minutes
remaining, and the
fight-back was on, the
noise levels rose, and
the momentum was now
swinging Blackpool’s
way. Mortensen completed
his hat-trick with a
sweetly struck free kick
with just three minutes
left on the clock to
level the score, before
Matthews pulled the ball
back for Bill Perry to
score a sensational
winner and complete the
most remarkable recovery
in the history of the FA
Cup. So, if you were
there or not, this is
one piece of history that
must be owned by fans.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v
Manchester City - 1974
League Cup Final It was a
sight that no Wolves fan
will ever forget: John
Richards steering the
ball, low and hard into
the bottom corner of the
Manchester City net. It
was the goal that finally
ended fourteen years of
"if onlys", and now
Wolves were firmly
reinstated on the
footballing map. Having
started the game as
underdogs, against a
star-studded Manchester
City side, which boasted
players such as Denis
Law, Rodney Marsh and
Francis Lee. Manager Bill
McGarry had stressed that
his players weren't at
Wembley, just to make up
numbers. The atmosphere
was pulsating, and the
match was on a knife-edge
throughout. Kenny Hibbitt
and John Richards scored
the goals, but it was
Gary Pierce who proved to
be the outstanding
performer of the day,
with a string of
extraordinary saves. WHAT
A DAY THIS WAS!
Wolverhampton Wanderers v
Nottingham Forest - 1980
League Cup Final Once
again in a domestic
final, Wolves started as
the underdogs, to a
Nottingham Forest side,
who had previously lifted
the European Cup, and
were surely going to add
the 1980 League Cup to
their list of honours
under Brian Clough. They
had lifted the trophy in
the two previous seasons
having overcome Liverpool
and Southampton. But
under the guidance of
John Barnwell, Wolves
had other ideas, and in
a game of few chances,
it was Andy Gray's 66th
minute goal that proved
to be the decisive
strike. Forest pressed
hard for the equaliser,
but the well organised
Wolves team proved to be
resolute in defence, and
almost doubled their lead
when George Berry struck
the woodwork. Captain
Emlyn Hughes lifted the
trophy for the first time
in his distinguished
career, and Wolves
joined the small band of
teams to win the League
Cup on more than one
occasion. THE DAY THE

There have been some
great shocks in FA Cup
history, and this ranks
amongst the greatest, as
unfashionable Wimbledon
marked their remarkable
rise from non-league
football to top-flight
status to clinch the FA
Cup for the first time in
their history against
three times winners
Liverpool beneath the
twin towers. Liverpool
were odds on favourites
to complete the double
having clinched the
league title only a week
earlier and Wimbledon who
were still playing fourth
division football 5 years
earlier were simply
written off by the
pundits. But it proved to
be a day for unlikely
heroes, as Wimbledon’s
two outstanding
performers on the day
made vital contributions
to Wimbledon’s cause.
Dave Beasant, the
Wimbledon goalkeeper,
was responsible for two
FA Cup ‘firsts’ as he
became the first
goalkeeper to receive the
cup as well as save a
penalty kick at Wembley.
But it was Lawrie Sanchez
who scored the
all-important goal with a
glancing header from a
Dennis Wise free kick
shortly before half time.
Liverpool still fashioned
chances, but found Dave
Beasant in fine form,
and his crowning glory
came on the hour when he
guessed right and dived
to the left to deny John
Aldridge from the spot
and etch himself into the
record books. Wimbledon
stood strong and the
unthinkable happened, as
the cup headed to South
London rather than
Merseyside, and now
relive this truly
remarkable day all over
again with the full 90
minutes and post match
interviews from the day,
which captures the true
magic of the FA Cup and
this historic day for the
