It was really crumbling by the 1990s, so it had to go unfortunately. But yes, it was special. The new Wembley is just like a big version of any generic new club stadium. The old Wembley was unique.
Yes Sir it was, Not as today , a pitch of cloak and dagger, commercial war of attrition in the perennial rat race of today's meretricious ambitions also on the football ground. No more authentic passion and identity, only the greed of our times, and nothing more to Dreams of...

Always great when good defeats evil. Never in doubt with that immense support behind them. No treble for Liverpool that year and never won it since. GGMU. LUHG.
My first trip to Wembley. Went to every United home game that season and a few 'aways'. Collected the tokens off the programmes and blagged a few more for a cup final ticket... Happy days!
I was 7 yrs old when this match was played & for me it was the game that started my love affair with Pool. Everybody I knew was supporting Utd & was over the moon when they won. I felt sorry for Liverpool sat in the middle of the pitch at the end of the game & my heart went out to them. I’m a Season ticket holder now & have been for many years. If Utd had lost I’d probably be, god forbid a Utd fan now.
@@johnrobinson2234 fair play pal....you had a good run after I the 80s...we dominated the 90s. Always be the "Real" competition. Best get in league to watch, and always will be. No matter how far apart the teams are in terms quality, Man UTD V Liverpool will always be a classic, and a levelled. NEVER write either side off. If you've noticed, when Liverpool on top, always MAN utd to knock them down to earth and when Man United on top, always Liverpool to knock us back down to earth. Sad, but true! Look back at the history..
Great support, always have, always fill our ground, biggest average att even when relegated. The first club to take masses away from home.Prawn sandwiches my arse! I remember this game, there wasnt as much hatred then, it was a great day and we had far more fans than the Liverpool lot. But there fans had travelled more than most that year and had a great team to be fair, we used to take 20,000 away regularly in the 70s, great day, we were there when we were shit! lol
You’re right Bert. United support away was phenomenal. So many big days. Semi final v Derby at hills borough. At the ground at 6am,as were thousands of other Reds. Huge amount of funny/terrifying/grisly details left out of this,however,left the ground at half time after being badly crushed in the leppings lane end.
Nearly 8 yr old boy watching this in my mates who were all Liverpool fans and me only utd one .... 77 was the cemented year for me .. utd never die...keep the red flag flying high...
You took the words right out of my mouth I used to love watching any FA Cup final on TV the build up have they got there and watching the game football is not the same anymore it’s too commercialised I think sometimes the clubs don’t seem to respect the The Fans anymore look what the great glaziers weather fucking called they put £9.2 million worth of shares on the market and apparently the brothers we’re going to make over £100 million each and none of the money was going back to the club I think that’s absolutely shameful it’s a disgrace it shouldn’t be allowed basically they don’t give a fuck about the football club and I’m not a Man United fan neither I’m just saying it’s wrong and it shouldn’t be allowed it should be banned
Golden days and I used to enjoy the cartoons of. Both sides in with the sun or daily mirror? Can anyone else remember these cartoons of both sides in the centre pages.
These days it kicks off at 530pm and a third of the ground is corporate seating. Top flight football is dead thanks to the millions of the premier league.
The pitch seemed huge and really added to the sense of the occasion. Made it feel special. The FA Cup just doesn't feel like this anymore. I can't even remember who won it last year, or any year in the 21st Century.
Lovely seeing seeing England’s biggest, most famous, most glamorous, most celebrated, most iconic and most talked-about football club lifting the trophy here. Respect.
@@kirkclarke2931Man u are bigger and I don't really like them Liverpool are too parochial. United had fans from everywhere before the premier league .I don't know why but they did😂
I was 9 when this match took place and discovered that my friend was a United fan! I was absolutely gutted because the Fa Cup meant so much in those days. The hurt only lasted for four days because Liverpool went on to win their first European Cup on the following Wednesday.
My very first (remembered) game I watched as a Liverpool fan. Back when the FA Cup was considered worth winning. Not getting the same respect from teams or the FA anymore. Shame.
When the FA cup meant something....as a kid growing up in these times, ..it was a major occasion,......now finishing 4th in the league is considered a bigger achievement than actually winning the most famous cup competition in the world,...how times have changed,.....in the 1970s and 80s Grandstand ( BBC) and World of Sport (ITV) dedicated all day day to bring us all the best build up, the big player interviews, celebrity guests, and FA cup themed gameshows ,...it was a showcase finale to the football season....great memories, if better times
Watched this as an 11 yr old at my best friend , Richard’s house . He was for Liverpool and myself for Man Utd. Years later he told me he cried after I left cause Liverpool lost . Good times .
United started well that season and were top of the league in early October. Then Buchan got injured and they couldn't function without him. He came back in mid-December and, of the 21 league and cup matches between Christmas and mid-April, United W 16 D 3 L 2. By then they were in the FA Cup semis and they threw three or four of the remaining league matches before winning at Wembley.
Wow, the FA Cup was like the only major trophy Bob Paisley never won during his Liverpool reign. And he came so close to being the first manager of an English team to do the treble. Rinus Michels was another great manager who should've won the treble with Ajax but left too soon to join Barca.
I watched this final on tv back then as a 11 year kid. Fall in love with Man Utd straight away and stil a loyal fan till now , even though Keegan was my idol .
@ExScouserExRN Agreed, our only trophy for a decade and in the shadow of a fantastic Liverpool side. But we were the best supported side in the country and was 10 years before and still are, even when we were relegated to division 2, Glory hunters we are not.
Our kid came home from work one afternoon & said "I've got tickets for Utd v Sunderland, get your coat", the most incredible atmosphere in Old Trafford, Sunderland fans were & still are some of the best in the land, well over 60,000 for a weekday match & we were both in the 2nd Division.....& we won.
@@samstainer6322 And not just in terms of support. I once travelled by train with the Sunderland supporters who were coming down to London for their match with West Ham and I can only say that they were a credit to their team and part of the world, and it wasn't as if they were without liquid refreshment either!
Yes . It was great to see him here in his prime . A lesson for all of us. Seize the day ! .....you won't always be young so savour every minute while it lasts.
I paid £50 on the black market to see this game; my first ever FA Cup Final seeing United as a teenager. What a day, stopping Liverpool from winning The Treble to come and loving the old Wembley with it's history and superb atmosphere, so much better than the soulless new one.
Me too, 14 year old. What was great was a lot of Utd & Liverpool fans were mixed together. We were next to three old Scousers & they were brilliant all afternoon, "never forget Sit Matt played for us first son" I was reminded, they stayed & applauded when Buchan came past with the cup..brilliant supporters. Biggest mistake United made sacking Docherty, great manager we loved him & a cracking young side. Attack Attack Attack wasn't just an expression.
My first FA cup final,heady days! Different era. This vid' ends just as Liverpool walk to the united end. Emelyn and the boys applauded the united fans every step of the way,as did we them. Scousers did the same when united went to their end.Both sets of fans and players were a credit that day!
Pancho Pearson, a celebration so famous even Old Spice used it in one of their ads. An era when football was real, before being poisoned with greed and jazzed up by Sky fecking Sports.
This was my 1st seeing of a FA Cup telecasted "live" in Singapore. It was very exciting...MU won! (I correctly predicted the score and won a prize....a FIFA T-shirt。Thankyou for the memory sharing。
I was there. The United support was huge. Many thousands locked outside . When Liverpool trudged around,with their losers medals,there was a mighty and sustained chant from the followers of Manchester United….. “Liverpool.Liverpool.Liver…..” Unlikely to happen again in the near future.
I watched this in my Uncle Tommy and Aunty Kathleen's house as they had a nice colour Telly without the 2-bob box on the back which was designed to knock the power off just before a goal. What a memory.
@@iamsoldierf8316 Look at the 70s cup finals. You were beaten by Southampton and Arsenal, yet still beat us in 1977 when we were conquering everything. All good fun is football 😊
Liverpool's 2nd strip should always be a variation on this kit in my opinion. I'd wear a replica of this top or the earlier round neck version, even as a Leyton Orient supporter.
@@KenCostlow For decades. And a beautiful royal blue third strip for when we played Sheffield United/Stoke/Southampton. United's kits should always follow that formula IMO.
Just played golf with Stuart “Pancho” Pearson and Arthur Albiston, real gents and what stories! Has pics of Pancho on the wall as a kid, what a legend, Liverpool were the better team in these days but we always got one over them when it mattered, brilliant times.
MY GOD. REAL BRITISH FOOTBALLERS. NOT THE FOREIGN MERCENARIES OF TODAY 😢 PLAYERS HERE WHO KNEW WHAT THE CLUB MEANT TO THEIR FANS AND NOT THE MONEY CHASERS FROM FOREIGN LANDS WHO DONT GIVE AN IOTA ABOUT ENGLISH CLUBS.
Just how significant this win is if you look back. If Liverpool won, they might go on to be the 1st treble winners in England. Our success in 1999 may not be so talk about after all. But Liverpool were a good team then.
Was Martin Buchan the best looking British footballer of this period or any other and is this the reason for his not being especially popular with his fellow professionals?!
After the game, a few of us met two Liverpool lads on their way to Rome. They didn't have tickets, the had British visitor's passports, and about five quid between them. The plan was to bunk the trains and the ferry to get to Rome for the final. We had a whip round for them to send them on their way. I hope they made it. One last thing. I watched the European Cup final in a pub in Sale and everyone in their was cheering for Liverpool.
I agree with Motty. I thought Brian Greenhoff was MOTM, he kept Keegan really quiet. Although I don't begrudge young Arthur getting the award - very assured performance for someone so new to the team in such a big game.
Was 8 at the time the FA cup back then was a big deal and even bigger because utd beat Liverpool who were league champions and about to become European champions . This year had it all punk jubilee and this final nice to look back even from a spurs fan
The old Wembley pitch just seemed so big compared to club grounds at the time. It just felt special. The new Wembley is an impressive stadium but it's got no soul.
@@robicenco1 If we're talking about Real Madrid, Leeds or Tottenham playing at home then I think they can just about get away with it, although I always think it looks like they're just playing in their socks but red socks and red boots? No, not for me. And if a team is wearing pink socks, which is not unheard of in these sartorially questionable times? It's not just being old fashioned even (believe it or not!) because players started wearing coloured boots (or should that be boots of colour?) at least as early as the 70s, so I can only assume that they just had better taste in those days and that it never really caught on. Having said that, looking at the clothes and hairstyles from that period, I'd be reluctant to put money on it!
True. Around that time he had plenty of competition up front for England. But he really ought to have been given a chance. England weren't a great international team in the 1970s.
Wembley stadium was far better then that it is now, That's when players were real men, not like the shite u see today with players going down every couple of minutes, This was a real man's game then.
PANCHO and his famous fist salute my first united hero convinced this team would have won the league or european cup if only the doc never took sausage out not long after we will never know?
Why, did he ban sausages from his players' diets and if so, why? I thought that the typical British player's diet consisted of little more than meat, more meat and sausages, washed down with copious amounts of lager, during this era.
Luckily Man United wear their red kit and Liverpool wear white and black. Football in this era was very real in it’s English style and there weren't many players from Europe or from South America
@@anotherbadseed Meh. Born in Dublin but grew up and lived most of his life in England. Sounds English (if you played a recording of him to an Irish person, what country would they guess he was from?). I doubt any of the other players on the pitch that day regarded him as "foreign" and I suspect he didn't either...
Gives me as much joy today as it did then. Stuart Pearson.......you Legend !!!
We loved him at West Ham as well.
When Wembley was a magical place with atmosphere.
And when the FA cup was a magical tournament.
It was really crumbling by the 1990s, so it had to go unfortunately. But yes, it was special. The new Wembley is just like a big version of any generic new club stadium. The old Wembley was unique.

Tremendous win for these young Man Utd players....they look about 45.
Footballers did look older in those days, definitely!
Toomy doc was a class man...RIP
I'm always amazed by how many normally reliable goalies would concede poor goals at Wembley. Was it the bigger pitch or perhaps cup final nerves?
What a time to blow the final whistle!
DID N'T HARRY KANE CLAIM THE WINNING GOAL?
Ten days later lol
1st Class comment 👍
My 1st ever live football game on TV.
NO POSING, NO PONCING, NO STUPID COLOURED BOOTS - THIS IS REAL FOOTBALL
I've no problem with players wearing any colour boots they want....as long as they're black! White players should have to wear pink boots though!
@@MisAnnThorpe If the boots match the socks that's fine!
@@robicenco1 If we're talking about Real Madrid, Leeds or Tottenham playing at home then I think they can just about get away with it, although I always think it looks like they're just playing in their socks but red socks and red boots? No, not for me. And if a team is wearing pink socks, which is not unheard of in these sartorially questionable times? It's not just being old fashioned even (believe it or not!) because players started wearing coloured boots (or should that be boots of colour?) at least as early as the 70s, so I can only assume that they just had better taste in those days and that it never really caught on. Having said that, looking at the clothes and hairstyles from that period, I'd be reluctant to put money on it!
@@MisAnnThorpe FFS 😂😂😂🤦♂️
@@kirkclarke2931 Sorry mate, I don't speak Emoji.
Can't believe Jimmy Greenhoff never got a game for England.
David McMullan l
True. Around that time he had plenty of competition up front for England. But he really ought to have been given a chance. England weren't a great international team in the 1970s.
He was red hot...Jimmy Greenhouse.
Great assist from Keegan
Wembley stadium was far better then that it is now, That's when players were real men, not like the shite u see today with players going down every couple of minutes, This was a real man's game then.
I miss the Twin Towers. I wish they had replicated them when they built the new Wembley.
@@KenCostlow it was a special place then, steeped in football history, I agree wit u 💯per cent.
vilamor007 steeped in piss at half time. Stank on a hot day too. LOLOLOL.
@@iamsoldierf8316 🤣🤣🤣👍
Pint of milk out of a bottle at the end too. Golden days......
The winning goal of MU is the most awfull shitty ridicolous luckiest one that I've ever saw.
Stepney should of saved that
He knew it, too
Clemence too the first one...
Should HAVE
Kevin Keegan must despise United lol :p
UNITED!
Original england football 1977! ❤
PANCHO and his famous fist salute my first united hero
convinced this team would have won the league or european cup
if only the doc never took sausage out not long after we will never know?
Why, did he ban sausages from his players' diets and if so, why? I thought that the typical British player's diet consisted of little more than meat, more meat and sausages, washed down with copious amounts of lager, during this era.
@@MisAnnThorpe He means a different type of sausage :-)
@@HandleGF he had an affair m8. Got sacked.
I was 8 years old And a Manchester United fan then
Stu pancho Pearson my hero at the time won me a few bob that day first goal
Position numbers, not squad numbers. No shirt sponsors. No names on jerseys. Great days.
The Doc's last game in charge?
Sadly, yes.
Biggest club in the world man united
Luckily Man United wear their red kit and Liverpool wear white and black. Football in this era was very real in it’s English style and there weren't many players from Europe or from South America
Great football, great game... and not a foreign player on the pitch.
In hindsight if you were to pick the 100 best Premier League footballers ever then at least 90 would be foreigners
I think you'll find that Steve Heighway is foreign.....
@@anotherbadseed Meh. Born in Dublin but grew up and lived most of his life in England. Sounds English (if you played a recording of him to an Irish person, what country would they guess he was from?). I doubt any of the other players on the pitch that day regarded him as "foreign" and I suspect he didn't either...
