1971 Arsenal 2 Liverpool 1 AET.
Great goal and celebration from Charlie George for the winner.
Only live game on TV all year back then.

First I can remember is 1979, the 3 minute final
Strangely the scoring was echoed in the 1986 World Cup final

Leeds v Arsenal 1972.....Alan Clarke diving header and Mick Jones ( Leeds ) broke his collarbone
I could name you every winner ( and probably the scorers ) in the 70s 80s 90s and early 2000s but I honestly couldn’t tell you who won it 3 years ago
Tragic

The first one I remember, though I didn't watch it, was Wolves v Blackburn in 1960. Wolves won 3-0. What I remember was being in the Alhambra Cinema at Longton watching something like Tarzan, and the scores were announced in the interval and at the end.
The first one I watched was West Brom v Everton in 1968. I was still at School near Wolverhampton and we had half a dozen Baggies fans, which gave the match a bit more meaning. It was quite a dull match, won for West Brom by Jeff Astle's headed goal.

Without looking it up I'm going to say Chelsea or Man Utd, or perhaps Man City. It's nearly always the same likely candidates now. |

Spurs 2-1 win over Chelsea in 1967 was the first one that I sat and watched, but I also vaguely remember seeing a bit of West Ham beating Preston in 1964.

First cup final I can vaguely remember is the Chelsea v Middlesbrough final in 97 as a 7 year old. Di Matteo's goal and Juninho's last game I think?!... I remember the 2 subsequent finals Newcastle lost more vividly.

85 when the shit beat Everton 1-0 in extra time Norman Whiteside scored curler from edge of area.
Think it was the first time a player was sent off in the Cup final.
As a kid the FA Cup really was magic, pinnacle of the season. As Werrington said I could name every score and scorer still from the mid 80s and 90s finals but couldn't tell you who was even won it last 10 years.
Thank you FA and the self proclaimed top 6 for ruining the best club competition in the world.

My fault guys and will accept whatever punishment is coming my way  |

Remember this one because BHA hero Steve Foster missed the first game through suspension. Returning for the replay which of course Man Utd won easily. Cue the Man Utd fans singing....."Stevie Foster, Stevie Foster what a difference you have made". |

Cue the Man Utd fans singing....."Stevie Foster, Stevie Foster what a difference you have made". Isn't their fanzine called 'And Smith must score' ? I remember that song well. Soton v Man U the first one I remember and we had a power cut first half. The whole street was outside to see what was happening, Cup Final day, the place came to a standstill back then. Need to change back to 3pm and get the whole thing back to what it was, feck the semis off at Wembley and bring back all the build up that made it special |
