Over 3 Hours of FA Cup History (1920 - 1970)

[@mnd1955]

It's a crying shame that the FA Cup has been relegated to a sideshow in England. When I was a kid, it was the biggest game of the year. I had to wait until 1976 to actually go to one but went again the following tear to watch Martin Buchan lift the pot. Descriptions don't do it justice. You had to be at the old Wembley to experience the thrill. Still, this is a great compilation and brings back many memories. Thanks for posting it.

[@russhouldin5774]

Thank you so much for posting this! A lot of the Pathe News editing and commentary is comical. The narrator talks of a long range shot and we see a bit of the King then a ball entering the net and many other examples. The crowd shots are amazing.

[@Dench999or911]

Fantastic documentary. Seeing the traditions develop through the years is class!

[@standenberg]

2:48:41 Bobby Moore raised a trophy there at Wembley 3 years in succession. 1964 Cup Final, 1965 European Cup Winners Cup, & obviously 1966. 👏🏼

What great archive football!

I don't even like football but somehow I am very invested in this video lol

You and me both.

[@pipthedog11]

This was when the game was played for fun and the crowd. Now it’s played as part of big business and to make and take as much money as possible. I know which was better

I was there in 1968 as a 11 yr old. Travelled on a old ford transit van with my uncle and cousins from West Brom..I can remember the crates of Davenport’s in the back and the smell of cheese n onion sandwiches. I was on Vimto.kept stopping for a piss. We won too..great day..king Jeff Astle

[@ChrisLonsdale67]

This seems to suggest that Preston North End included the word 'Invincibles' in their name in 1889. This isn't so. The club was Preston North End, as they still are; the nickname 'Invincibles' was later applied to them because of their unbeaten season. It wasn't part of the club's official name!

[@benhur1959]

What joy on the faces of those great players back then as they treasure their medals unlike today when all they want is money, money, money. Great days

That footage of the testing of Wembley is amazing! I guess I had the idea that H&S just didn't exist, but there they are simulating crushes and crowds.

Football as it should always be - not life or death and certainly not 'more important' than that, not a reason to riot, not a playground for multi-billionaire businessmen and multi-millionaire sportsmen, purely and simply a game played for its beauty, played from the heart and played with love - played, and watched, by those who hold it dear. A game for all, accessible to all; discriminating upon none, welcoming to all. It is, as they say so succinctly in that great footballing nation Brazil, o joga bonito. It is the essence of all that is beautiful in the human spirit.

[@stevebloomer7027]

Ferguson didn't tap the ball in in 1927, he smashed it in from just inside the area 15:31. Hugh Ferguson is the great underrated goalscorer one of the 7 men to score 350 plus League goals in England and Scotland. Also footage but no mention of the 'over the line' goal in 1932 23:30.

[@lewissmith3896]

I love this.

[@tommitchell7262]

Earliest cup final footage, I think was 1901, and definitely 1913 (including the failed penalty kick - first in the cup final). Probably not Pathe News, though, I'm assuming.

[@mervynhardy6161]

The 1932 Final doesn't even mention the over the line. incident.

[@willevans429]

[@nooneyouknow5002]

That 1932 post match 'meet' between the Victor and loser was courteous and unnecessary

I agree. Just look at the haircuts we've got these days.

[@aaropajari7058]

It might be better to say how far it has gone.

[@Natterlee]

An excellent film, just a shame that the British Paths narrator keeps referring to as 'soccer'. Was there a tendency to use this term rather than football? The narrator is speaking in RP tones, would that influence the terms he used I wonder. Maybe he regarded football as being of the Rugby variety. Some great footage and some of those collisions with goalies looking nasty at times. But as a rule they got up and carried on... Many thanks for sharing.

[@peterwhitaker4038]

how stupid the commentator of the 1965 cup final calling Ian Saint John 'SINJEN' trying to be posh or something. even I as an Evertonian know it's St.John not what he calls him. sinjen

[@johnp515]

I don’t think he was trying, he was posh and thus probably didn’t have a clue about football or any of the players and when reading his script assumed his name was pronounced the way posh people say it.

[@blueheart1946]

So, both Everton AND Man City won it 1906? Somryhing amiss here.
