When the FA Cup was the holy grail! Youngsters today will never appreciate just how big the cup was back in the day...it’s was the Champions League of its time...every team wanted to win it and every fan wanted to get to Wembley. Great days
Nowadays most managers play 2nd team guys and youth players in the Cup because it doesn't get you into Champions League, can't win you promotion, and can't save you from relegation. A meaningless trophy.
@@GetBenched2010 It'll never be meaningless, but the infernal European club Competitions that are practically ongoing all year, plus the fact that the big 6 can buy all the best players has demeaned the old Tin cup. The chasm between the Top Handful of Teams and Everyone Else means They can Use reserves and still win. Since 1990 only Portsmouth, Wigan Athletic and Leicester City have been shock winners. This Years Competition has been Pretty Good tho, and We will either have Sheffield utd or Brighton shock winners or Man utd, or man City. If the Two Manchester clubs do get to the Final at Least it will be a first, and Should be Entertaining.
@@GetBenched2010 thought the European cup was just an end of season tournament, meaningless because it was mainly money involved, the fa cup is the oldest knock out competition in the world, more enjoyable because it involves all the teams from all divisions.
I was 7 when watching this at home. My parents and brothers were born in Sunderland and I was born in Nottinghamshire. As they all supported Sunderland I decided to be different and support Leeds. Growing up there was always a rivalry between us. But for years now I have my support in both camps. I look out and support both teams now. It was a great win for Sunderland. A few days later Leeds lost in the Cup Winners Cup Final 1-0 to AC Milan. Years later proved that the referee had been bribed by the Italians.
By far the greatest achievement in the history of the FA Cup. Sunderland beating Manchester City and Arsenal en route to Wembley and then knocking off Leeds in the final.
Montgomery's save better than Banks of Pele for me in a much bigger game when the FA Cup was the one to win.
Bobby Charlton was proved correct!
I was there, and 50 years later it still brings tears of joy! Ha’way the lads!
Up in Scotland we had the usual Rangers v Celtic at Hampden that day. It was a cracking game, but what really caught the imagination was the comment of, I think, Arthur Montford, of "Whatever happens here, please stay with us for highlights from Wembley. I don't want to spoil it but something quite special is happening between Leeds United and Sunderland." We all knew at home it meant either Leeds were running riot or Sunderland were doing the impossible. Imagine - the only live domestic game on tv and we were all desperate for it to end, supporting neither old firm side, so we could watch recorded highlights from England!
It's a huge compliment to Leeds at the time that so many people wanted the hottest of hot favourites to fail. You don't get into that position without being a great side - and they really were.
how beautiful the atmosphere at the old Wembley then compared to the present crap Wembley now.
Great film, brings back memories, love those 70's barnets
Steakandsid,
Thanks for providing the build-up to this Cup Final. Catches well the truly unique atmosphere of Cup Final Wembley day at this time!
Sunderland were the underdogs but people forget they knocked Man City out in the quarter finals and
Then beat Arsenal in the semi finals.
We knocked man City in the 5th round Luton Town was the quarter final.
I love the old Wembley stadium just something special.
It was a better atmosphere.
Gawd, that period 1970-74 was fantastic. Hair, sideboards (grow 'em SuperMac), strips without adverts, muddy pitches, managers fatherly to Del Boy (sorry Mal), bog standard cardboard studio sets with no holds barred panel debates The Doog v Paddy v Mal v.., and GREAT Footy, a ball that was just perfect unlike the ludricous ping pong ball today, players on field you instantly recognised by hair alone compared to the video cutouts they look today, fantastic football commentators perched a high on tottering scaffold poles, sheepskin coats & caps, tackling, scrunching tackling, bone breaking tackling, infact just tackling which has all but dissapeared now, teams comprised from only the 4-Nations, refs who still looked from 1920s & LEEDS UTD.. love 'em hate' em but what a team & not forgetting the other sides who turned up for a flogging, great sides too Chelsea Man U Man City Spurs Arsenal West Ham Liverpool Newcastle Derby Wimbledon.. Division 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 simple, not changing every 5 minutes & morphing into another greedy spin off, League titles, League Cup & FA CUP the greatest cup in the world now a second rate lets just play the reserves so we can stay where all that greedy greedy greedy money is, top top players who in the autumn of their playing career dropped down a division or two, to impart all they knew to the young hopefuls & fans from Stockport Grimsby Bury Tranmere Darlington & the lowly rest could say I saw Dave McKay, I saw... George Best, Frank Worthington, Stan Bowles & other dribbler tricksters... YES I LOVE IT & THANKS TO UA-cam & YOU WHO POST YOUR MEMORIES FOR US TO LIVE AGAIN & AGAIN.
great post
Barry Davies and David Coleman.
They just don't make commentators like them anymore.
Mark Austin Hi Mark. THEE MARK AUSTIN I presume! Well yes. Barry Davies a great & variously commentator from footy to tennis to the Olympics. I think he still does tennis on the outside courts. David Coleman had a bit of a dark side to him. He was in charge of things always, that is how he came across to me, but still liked. But my fav & best footy commentator was Brian Moore. Boy when a great goal was scored he took off like a Apollo Rocket! Wonderful warmth & knowledge came across & a comb over that always stayed in place unlike Bobby Charlton! Cheers Mark.
Sadly, they just don't make rose-tinted spectacles like they used to. I agree with most of your points.
historic classic
the man on the right at 8:08 is my grandad! stumbled across the interview after him telling me about the match - incredible. thank you so much for uploading!!
Great that you found it...👍
Did he get in and how much did he pay?
@@Intake33 yes! he paid 70p for semi finals and £15 for complimentary seats for the final
@@ebonyhall4883 £5 more than he was expecting but still a bargain to witness history (and I say that as a Leeds fan)
@@Intake33 exactly! filmed a short interview of him talking about this day just before we found this video :)
This final, still haunts me to this day, every player for Leeds U were a full international, or about to be capped one, got beaten, and it made me sick, and worse was to follow 2 yrs later.......
Lorimer talking nonsense on 13 mins. Bobby Charlton knows his stuff.
RIP Norman Hunter
I don't know why but David Harvey was my favourite childhood footballer.
I suppose that David Harvey, albeit a great shot stopper, was perhaps an unsung hero of Leeds golden years of the 70's.
Stokoe's dead and he STILL can't believe it!!!
The original 1973 Cup Final Grandstand broadcast
All the "Experts" predicting the wrong result again. Including Mr Clough. Good old Stokoe and Jim Montgomery.
Comb-over Charlton got it right. Probably wishful thinking on his part more than good judgement.
Just like they did in 1976 Manchester United 0-1 Southampton and 1980 Arsenal 0-1 West Ham. When second division beat first. However the biggest shock to the pundits was 1988 Liverpool 0-1 Wimbledon. Both sides were First Division and Wimbledon were massive underdogs, even though they had finished 6th to Champions Liverpool.
In Sunderland's year they also beat First Division Manchester City and Arsenal in previous rounds. Which a lot of people are not aware of.
@@portcullis5622 he was well placed to predict
Arthur Cox was a top manager
should have used hampden park ! Wembley was not big enough lol, fantastic day or us though.
SUNDERLAND AFC 🇬🇧🔴⚪
Pity "wor" Jackie Charlton retired before this all-time Classic. So, all the "experts" unanimously gave the thumbs up to Leeds United. Clough included.
Jack would've played but wasn't fit. Hamstring.
Jack retired the week before at Southampton. He was never going to play in Cup Final, nothing to do with being fit enough. He'd lost his place in the Leeds team earlier in the season. Gordon McQueen had started to be Jack's replacement during this season along with Paul Madeley and Trevor Cherry who swapped and changed at Centre Back alongside Norman Hunter.
Jack had already lost his place at Leeds in the first half of the season. Don Revie brought him back the previous Saturday (last Saturday of the League) at Southampton, so Jack and Bobby Charlton could retire from playing on the same day. Match of the Day featured both games.
Cheers steakandsid. Thats only part 1! More to come. Just so angry that football now has left its roots. The real British football in England is down in the 3rd & 4th tier of the League now. Teams are mainly all Brits with the odd Icelandic defender & prob only on 5-10 Grand a week! I enjoy the early rounds of the FA Cup as it feels how it used to be, but once the big boys come in then its au revoir from me.
Non league is the place to go William.
Leeds should have won on the day. I suppose the romance of the cup at the time!
Watson marshalled Clarke superbly.
@@themanftheworld8439 Watson marked Jones. It was Pitt marching Clarke.
Cloughie, way wide of the mark. 😂
And they still lost!
pity its dull BBC coverage
Leeds bottled it again ha
No need to be Jealous.
I would not agree they were bottlers Robert. I think if you look at any of the big finals Leeds lost they always played tremendously well and could be regarded as unlucky to lose!
You could make a hang glider out of the lapels of Terry "Monobrow" Cooper's jacket
