    As a Chelsea boy born and bred in West Kensington , I watched that game and fell in love with that team that day. The whole day was perfect. David Coleman , MacDonald , that pass between Keagan and Smith. I was 9 when we won in 70 but that day in 74 is without doubt the most perfect memory of Cup Final Day that I will ever have. Even the colors were more vivid than any other Final. ....Lindsey scored a legit goal....and what a goal it was.......Coleman was so in form....He said things that still do not make sense.....?? " Goals Pay The Rent and Keagan does his Share " . It sort of make sense but some how it does not sound right....It's a Coleman Balls to the MAX . It's a shame that he did not get a One.........Nil in there for the offside goal....What a day !! My list of the best from the 70's ...Remember , I stood in the shed....... 74 , 73 , 71 , 79 , 70 ,...the others were unremarkable . What days they were though. I doff my hat to you Scousers What a shame that the league will be given to you off pitch rather than on it when you win the 2 games you need. Well done , but watch out for those kids in blue from daaaaaan the Fulham Road me ol' son ! I say it with clenched teeth , but....Come on you Reds.

    I wish Liverpool were playing Leeds that year in the final, it would have been a much better game, and Leeds would have won! Leeds only had problems with route one teams and got knocked out by Bristol City in a year when they walked the league! PITY!!

      Very bold to claim Leeds would have won. Leeds and Liverpool played each other twice that season, with a tight 1-0 win for both sides. They were evenly matched. It could have gone either way.

    I know it's not a popular view on here, but I never liked David Coleman as a commentator. His big lines (Goals pay the rent etc.) were horribly cliched and cheesy. He also commentated on multiple sports and I never felt he had a good enough in depth knowledge of any of them. Compare him to someone like Bill McClaren on rugby. They're not in the same league. A commentator's job is to talk about something you can see happening. So he has to add something to make it come alive. Peter O'Sullivan the horse racing commentator was a genius at it. Coleman not so much. Sorry to swim against the tide. Brian Moore was the class act of the day and I also loved Motty (although I suspect that will be another unpopular view :-)

      Couldn't agree more. I found him painful to listen to. A lot of the time he decided before the match who were going to be the better team and commentate accordingly. That goals pay the rent and Keegan gets his share was meaningless.

      You're joking. Coleman only commentated on football and athletics and in the latter he was an expert having been a very good middle distance runner himself, and he also knew his football. Coleman talked about what he saw and he had a dramatic lyrical style that could make anything seem exiting. His cheesy big lines were part of his appeal. Brian Moore was rather boring and Motson up his own backside never using one word when could use five. Barry Davies was the other class act of the day.

    First FA Cup Final I remember watching and the game that ignited a lifelong passion for Liverpool. I've watched a lot of videos from the mid 70's, Keegan and Heighway really were exceptional.
