The Cup Final (1964)

[@3204clivesinclair]

I was 9 when my Dad took me all the way to London to see this. All the PNE names from back then flooding back. Still follow them today.

[@chrisfallon9678]

I couldn't imagine the Wembley crowd in an F A cup final singing ..It's a long way to Tipperary before the match nowadays somehow,mores the pity .the great days of yesteryear 👌👌

[@denisburgess2966]

I was 12 back then and it is the first fa cup final i can remember watching on the tv.

[@stephenpegum9776]

It was watching this Cup Final that persuaded me to become a West Ham supporter in the first place !

What a game

[@MrGranfield]

I remember Jim Standen playing cricket for Worcestershire. He was a useful medium pace bowler and the best cover point fielder I have seen.

[@ianderrick393]

He also topped the bowling averages for the county championship. Some season’s work!

[@victordevonshire807]

I'm Spurs but what a great goalkeeper he was?

[@barrysmith4999]

Jim Standen was a great keeper. He was an understudy at Arsenal & Luton before joining West Ham in 1962 He remained the first choice goalkeeper for the Hammers (until the arrival of Bobby Ferguson in 1967) After his retirement he settled in California where he was a goalkeeping coach for a time. As far as I am aware he is still alive today aged 88 Bobby Ferguson settled in Australia after his retirement, he is also alive & kicking aged 79 - God bless them both ..West Ham legends!

The first football match I ever saw, on our brand new black and white TV. I fell in love with the game that day. After the final whistle, all the kids were out in the back street replaying the game. Happy days.

The first final for the great Bobby Moore . The following year he was back with West Ham for the European Cup Winners cup final and then he was back there again in 66 for the World Cup final . He won all three .

[@mikipiediaelburro7588]

The Moore treble...Hurst and Peters as well

[@alancawfield6549]

and then never won anything else after that.

[@ronjackson813]

Till the European Trophy won last year!

[@michaellovell1368]

@@mikipiediaelburro7588 Actually Martin didn't play in the '64 final. No subs either 😪

[@fisherpeter695]

Howard Kendall who became the youngest player to play in FA Cup final would later be on the losing side in the 1968 final with Everton. He would win the league title with them in 1970 and win the title twice as their manager in 1985 and 1987. which very few players achieve. Kenny Dalglish and George Graham were two. He is the most underrated manager from that era. And how lucky England were to have Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst who oozed class and always delivered for England. And despite the hype of the Premier League still remain part of the team the last time they were World Champions in 1966.

[@michaellovell1368]

In this game Johnny Sissons became the youngest scorer in a Cup Final. Norman Whiteside eclipsed both Sissons and Kendall's "Youngest" status when United won it in 1983 with Whiteside scoring. He wasn't even born in 1964. ⚒⚒

[@rodrec7487]

Love you every one that was watching the game .yeah love foot ball .love and peace

[@wulf659]

my mother tells me that at the final whistle my dad was crying sat down on the wembley steps, and then promptly blamed her for being a jinx lol

[@TheChessPatzer]

Echoes from a time when the final meant something.

[@elshadjafar2437]

Good day. Supported this video too. Next like from Elshad. Baku city

[@errolbaptiste]

I was born in the year of 1964 when West Ham won their first FA Cup Final against Preston North End.

[@XxxXxx-dd2xb]

And the Northerners look dangerous

[@eastmorton]

For people like the plummy commentator, 'northerners' were always dangerous ☺

[@VilhelmHammershoi1666]

Bloody northerners 😂😂

[@jonathanwales2550]

MASSIVE

[@granvillebaveystock5362]

Alex Dawson a Busby babe, scored a goal for Brentford in the first round of the FA cup 1970 against Gillingham. Brentford scored 2 goals in the last minute to win 2-1…. They went on to lose 2-1 to Hull City in that cup run!!!

[@mikipiediaelburro7588]

West ham winning a cup again

[@kuinchad]

better than sky

[@taiko666]

What's the PNE player doing to the keeper at 1.44? 😀

[@maicito1874]

As soon as the keeper has the ball in his hands rugby rules apply!

[@richardwebb5317]

Deal with the Milk Marketing Board?

เป็นสมัยนี้ จุดโทษ100ลูกละ

[@stephenreeds3632]

Deeply patronising, toff commentary.

[@Fricasso79]

It's not commentary, it's a cinema newsreel, and all newsreels had this pompous upper class style. Actual 1960s football commentary was fairly normal.

[@daddykornflakes]

The 2nd Hammers goal was clearly an own goal. Geoff Hurst's header had hit the bar and was coming back into play until it hit the keeper's head and was diverted back into the goal. Strange how Geoff had another controversial goal bound effort rattling the bar at Wembley 2 years later.
