I am 74 years old and 45 seconds into that match is the most exciting moment of those years. I am not saying it is the most important, or memorable, but for sheer excitability, for a young boy to see his hero score a goal so soon into an FA cup final is heart bursting excitement.

The great Jimmy Scoular who was a tough, no nonsense half back whose tenacious, robust tackles and his ability to break up the play of the opposition’s attack made him a legend at Newcastle. He looked as if he was hewn out of granite. A player who struck fear in the opposition when he took to the pitch. He should have won a lot more Scottish caps.
