First FA Cup Final You Watched?

[Silverhatch]

1970 replay and when Ossie scored I was jumping round the room in Carden Hill.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

the one when the horse came on the pitch and i lost my flat cap

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

1985 Everton 0 Man Utd 1
Bloody Norman Whiteside.

 

[DumLum]

West Ham v Arsenal 1980 is the first I can remember.

Same here. It is the first non Albion game I remember. I think Booking scored a header. I was six years old.

 

[sharpey38]

1986 merseyside derby, was 5 at the time

 

[Dodge]

1994 United 4 Chelsea 0

 

[The Camel]

1973 Sunderland v Leeds.

Can still hear David Coleman's commentary in my head..

"Porterfield, one-nil!"

The cup final was so huge in the 70's, one of the only live games you saw on the television, preceeded by It's a Cup Final Knockout and Cup Final Question of Sport.

Always a fantastic day.

 

[Cappers]

Vaguely remember Mick Jones and his broken arm at the end in 72, but clearly remember 73, Jim Montgomery, Bob Stokoe in has hat and red tracky bottoms and all that

 

[The Wookiee]

1979 man utd v arsenal

 

[Albion Edd]

1995 Everton 1 Man Utd 0

 

[Gully]

West ham - fulham 1975

This one...my earliest memory related to football is the 1974 World Cup, but to be honest I really hadn't a clue what football was at that stage, other than something we did at primary school to inflict misery on each other.

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

1995 Everton 1 Man Utd 0

This, seem to remeber it was a scrappy affair.

 

[Chamberpot]

99 FA cup final

 

[Pumba04]

1975 Hammers (2) v (0) Fulham for me...


Last all English team to lift the cup

Fulham had Mullery as skipper with Barry Lloyd as sub

 

[Paxton Dazo]

1997 - Chelsea v Boro.
Remember Di Matteo's goal so cleary ...

 

[Bazzza67]

1976 Southampton 1 V Man Utd O (Bobbie Stokes the winner)

 

[Norman Potting]

1970 replay and when Ossie scored I was jumping round the room in Carden Hill.

Same, as someone else has pointed out Cup final day was a MASSIVE event, it seemed to dominate both channels (yes kids, there used to be only BBC1, BBC2 and ITV - BBC 2 was too posh for sport) from breakfast time.

 

[Gwylan]

1966 Everton v Sheffield Wed......trebilcock hat trick...3-2

That was my first too. But it wasn't a Trebilcock hattrick, he scored two but the last goal was scored by Derek Temple after a shocking mistake by Gerry Young. Wednesday were 2-0 up at one stage.

 

[The Mole]

1968 - West Brom1 Everton 0

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

1966 Everton v Sheffield Wed......trebilcock hat trick...3-2

He didn't get a hat-trick!

(Oops, gwylan beat me to it)
