Interesting point re: FA Cup Final
Years ago, in a pub with mates, I asked the question of the first cup final folk remembered. For every person it was the one when they were 7. I wonder how much of an exercise in sporting memory retention that could be.
Southampton and Manchester United for me.
For me it was probably before I was a teenager.
I remember how exciting it was hiding under the covers listening to Peter Jones and Arsenal v Sheffield Wednesday with the endless replays of their 3rd round cup tie in 1979.
