Leedsthe best team of the decadebut won little
Comment from : @Firebrand55

Who can ever forget bob stokoe running on the wembley pitch at the end of the match wonder full memories i am a leeds fan but hats of to Sunderland they fully deserved winning the FA cup of course in those days winning the FA cup meant everything for the teams now the game has been spoiled by sheer greed every player back in those days wore there shirt with pride and 100 percent commitment

Bobby Kerr still doesn’t know why Sunderland didn’t play in the Charity Shield that year
Comment from : @nrgdigital-garywilkie3997

The last time a yellow ball was used in an FA Cup final
Comment from : @securitysynergyhouse5822

Montgomery, save of the ages!!!
Comment from : @65tosspowertrapl36

Great question for a quiz which sunderland player was the last to touch the ball in the 73 cup final - the captain bobby kerr
Comment from : @mac1-nf6ic

Why did the commentator say that Dave Watson stopped Leeds from scoring the equaliser? It was Montgomery!
Comment from : @johnmanning5568

I am a Leeds supporter born and bred, even i have to say one of the best finals ever Was there that day as a young sixteen-year-old We met three Sunderland fans after and have been friends ever since So to Brian Alan and Andy Cheers
Comment from : @user-Neil-c9u

1st cup final i ever saw and the best

Greatest cup final save
Comment from : @franriding6473

Comment from : @markcockburn6529

In that season I have in my collection ,the record of the fa cup final autographed by most of the squad philp😊
Comment from : @philipcheshire4346

Dirty Leeds got their rewards - nothing!
Comment from : @gordonavery2295

Harvey makws a great save from hallam too
Comment from : @mac1-nf6ic

When the game was great and players weren’t in it purely for the money When players didn’t need their name on their shirts and every name was pronounceable and English, Scots, Welsh or Irish
Comment from : @ianbailey509

The greatest save I have ever seen
Comment from : @nigelsouthworth5577

Absolutely wonderful magnificent magical brilliant
Comment from : @terencebarrett2897

I think that might be the best FA cup final I've ever seenbrBeing a Man Utd fan I've enjoyed a few, but this
Comment from : @SuperBartles

The greatest FA Cup Final in my lifetime; and I have seen them all since 1970 Those Sunderland players are immortalised
Comment from : @Jefferson1969-u4s

Awful awful football Looks like a hot potato game
Comment from : @danielamador4306

Back when the FA Cup was the one that everyone wanted to win !brFull strength teams all the way !brNone of this ' We'll rest all the star players in the early rounds ' nonsense !
Comment from : @MadderMel

What a safe damn
Comment from : @vctr_rvn

utterly amazing - great sequence when Sunderland players taking shots at goal quickfire ; none of this poncing around looking for a pen - also kudos to them for still going for it late in game -not holding ball up at corner flag (am not sure when that became a time wasting tactic ?)
Comment from : @IndieVolken

Liked the way Sunderland didn't time waste near end and still kept going forward
Comment from : @glenmorgan4597

Truly glorious Never been a bigger save at an FA cup final, surely What a team effort: Montgomery, Watson, Kerr, Porterfield, Hughes and Hallam What we'd give for some of that Stokoe inspiration now I wonder if KLD has ever even watched this game all the way through? If he does, he'll get a true, unfiltered illustration of the ethic and strength of the club and the city Ha'way!
Comment from : @joshp9452

The joy of Bob Stokoe dancing on the pitch at the end and embracing Montgomery is one of the most special moments in football as far as im concerned
Comment from : @gmf121266

The best final i ever experienced
Comment from : @geronimo2804

Working in Pembroke Refinery Soaking wet and cold! Told my mates I was going to leave to see this Cup Final We all from Durham so they joined me! Got washed , dried and headed for a pub with a good TV! Great afternoon ! Even as a 'Gooner' my second team were always Sunderland!
Comment from : @senianns9522

Possibly the greatest cup final of all time Those last ten minutes seemed like an eternity For those heroes of Sunderland, unimaginable torture But they ran and chased down every ball Unforgettable
Comment from : @Jefferson1969-u4s

Keeping it alive in 2024 I remember watching this in 73 to this day I still get chills
Comment from : @mick3765

Jim Montgomery's double save better than Banks' against West Germany in 1970 Miraculous reflexes
Comment from : @BenNewton-c6z

That steward just doesn't want to be there 😅
Comment from : @paulwalsh8959

Leeds were the best team of their time 1968 1975 before Don Revie left to manage England & just didn't win enough if their finals though were centenary winners the year before against Arsenal, the 1971 Cup winners In those days, the game was still a fast passing game but it was always an inspirational moment, that one goal that stood out to winbrArsenal's 1971 win, Charlie George's 20 yarder, Leeds Utd win 1972 Alan Clarke's diving header & of course, Sunderland's Ian Porterfield's 1/2 volley, plus that ridiculous save by Jim Montgomery that made the finals what they were, unpredictable, entertaining & memorable Bobby Stokes run to Jim just about summed everything up with this game as Sunderland had beaten Arsenal in the Semis to after a reply, it was their trophy 🏆 that year, who could've wrenched it away Brilliant 😂
Comment from : @GosWardHen98

Sunderland looked pretty good Leeds should have won according to the chances, but Sunderland were not out-classed and they played with confidence, and they kept doing the right things
Comment from : @KevTheImpaler

From Australiathis game lives in memory forever, I was 11 and watched it when the FA Cup Final was a must seeMontgomery's saves have become legend, the best Cup final everthe memory of 2nd div Sunderland beating that great Leeds team, and Montgomery the 'keeper, unbelievable
Comment from : @peterharvey4151

Good always triumphs over evil !
Comment from : @larrysimon1

This is what football is all about, its real soul Not buying your way into a close super league
Comment from : @iainclark5964

How did Leeds not have two penalties awarded to them? That trip on Bremner was so clear even a blind man could see and the trip on Clarke was as bad Leeds would have won but fir very poor refereeing
Comment from : @edmundpower1250

My first cup final memory as a 10 year old and still my favourite final The Montgomery save was unbelievable ❤❤
Comment from : @ChrisMarshall-g4q

Some game
Comment from : @kennethallen2373

Saw it live, incredible save
Comment from : @Weareeverything2023

Incredible - 50 years ago brbrRemember the whole day and the match very well brbrEvery football fan who wasn't a Leeds supporter hated them in those days so it was a special moment Jim Montgomery's save and Bob Stokoe's jig perfectly summed up the feelings of the day as Leeds were also the holders brbrA reminder of how short life really is and to make the most of it all because its gone in the blink of an eye
Comment from : @Seansaighdeoir

Leeds should have won it
Comment from : @paulyeomans850

Great seeing this againBrian Moore - commentating legendJimmy Hill - blind as a bat, God rest him! How on Earth could he not have seen that Leeds effort (3 minutes into the vid) hitting the bar did not cross the line?!! Also, how could he have missed the fact that Montgomery saved it?! Was eyesight that bad in the 70s?!! I'm joking of coursemagnificent double save from Monty and an unforgettable day for Second Division Sunderland
Comment from : @anthonybailey1966

soon 50 years ago :)
Comment from : @franzbrunner499

Watched this when I was a kid Gutted Leeds didn’t win
Comment from : @davidoflinn4101

Still to this day can't believe Jim Montgomery kept out Lorimers shot Most telling reaction is that of Mick Jones who raises his arms in celebration as soon as Lorimer let's fly Magnificent reaction save Whilst remembered as a great underdog story this was a pretty good Sunderland team in the making
Comment from : @paulbradshaw303

The greatest FA cup final the world has ever seen 🐕♥️👍
Comment from : @derekgrieveson6011

The greatest save you will ever see
Comment from : @paulwwwynne

Notice how they play proper football without all these so called professional fouls that take place nowadays No pulling shirts or physical barging each other all the time What a difference
Comment from : @orsoncart9441

Even to this day, 50 years later, I still can't get my head around a very average Sunderland side beating Leeds 🤔
Comment from : @garrysprackling1184

Bobby Charlton used to let his boots do the talking and once again he knew what he was talking about !
Comment from : @tonyknight9912

An unbelievable achievement The whole town of Sunderland must have been really proud of their team, especially too, with being a second division side!
Comment from : @ffrancrogowski2192

Gripping end to end last few minutes Unlike todays game - they'd be endless substitutions, running to the corner flag and the obligatory divingbrRIP English footy!

This is what the FA cup was all about :-)

Comment from : @rdgrdg1632

I remember watching this game and especially Montgomery's brilliant double saves
Comment from : @swinetrek

“Monty” became a very popular name for pets in Sunderland Still remembered by all who saw it At the time, I was at school, and a bit upset at the result, because my favourite teacher was a Leeds United fanatic Some fifteen years later I moved to the North-East and became a Sunderland supporter THE best fans, just the best
Comment from : @mcculloch29

Even on replay it's amazing Montgomery saves the second shot
Comment from : @AM-sl9bq

Big Jim Montgomery got himself a European Cup winners medal in 1979
Comment from : @hayleyliam

J'ai eu le même ballon que celui sur les images (je ne sais pas comment mes parents l'on trouvé) : pas très rond
Comment from : @MrJeepsters

the Monty save is just like the Gordon Banks one, possibly slightly more juicy perhapsi couldnt give a toss who wins this years FA Cup

This wasn't about anything but covering yourself in glory
Comment from : @RobErt-vf8xm

I was 7 years old when this came on tv on that overcast day in May 73, and watched in disgust as the mighty Leeds got a lesson in football, and learning about the underdog as my mum picked Sunderland and was right, but for me the worse was to come three years later
Comment from : @pisceansith6915

Judging from the highlights, Sunderland were certainly not outclassed
Comment from : @stephenreeds3632

Bob Stokoe , Red trouses , Trilby and a rain coat , what was he thinking ?

48 years later I was happy if I was there I would have went to the touch line and shouted “yes you did it”
Comment from : @uktrainandbusvids

The magic of the cup!! Similar to when West Ham beat Arsenal in 1980
Comment from : @lewisgreen1633

Brian Moore was by far the best football commentator this country produced, worth watching for that alone That Montgomery second save is on a par with Banksy's save against Pele, Lorimer had the goal at his mercy and not only did he get his hand to it but actually kept it out Brother was a Leeds fan so got a lifetime of millage out of that result
Comment from : @quotemenot7520

Fantastic! So great for those long-suffering fans Proper football Stokoe running to Montgomery Salt of the earth people Watson immense in that game but an admirable team effort for a gaffer who galvanised them History right there
Comment from : @1101grayzer

Neutral here: I’ve watched nearly all the FA Cup Finals since the early sixties (on the tv of course) That moment when Bob Stokoe runs on to hug Jimmy Montgomery is still the best-ever memory from all of them
Comment from : @northlincsfox243

First match I ever seen on colour TV Me my dad and Jack Black Happy days

great footballing day's, that was the third final watched on tv, was 10 at the time, remember the build up on tv, what great Saturdays
Comment from : @markpaulo269

47 years later and that double save is STILL impossible !

No millionaire footballers with tattoos looking like male models scared to get their shirts dirty playing boring football styleJust honest working class lads wanting glory over money first
