THE 1975 CUP FINAL � FULHAM v WEST HAM - COLOUR

[@chairmanalf7856]

I was at this match. Several months earlier, I went to Fulham as an away supporter for one of the earlier rounds of the league cup. They beat West Ham that night, but we certainly got our revenge in this final.

Strange bobby moore playing for Fulham a west ham United legend

back then any club had a chance of winning the FA Cup.. now it's just the same top six in the final most yrs.. in the 70's West Ham.. Southampton... Ipswich... Sunderland.. won it.. with Newcastle & Fulham reaching Wembley too.. can anyone honestly ever see any of those Clubs winning the FA Cup again.. Big Money has ruined English football,..

That fence jump at 7:36 didn't go so well

[@steveblack610]

We’ve all got our flares caught up like that at some point.

😀I was there.... Good times👌

Taylor got two goals in the quarters, semis and of course the final. Bad new for the keeper in this game. Very ironic to see our greatest ever player playing against his old team.

[@stephenpegum9776]

It still seems very odd for me to see Mooro playing for the "wrong" team !! 😱

Interesting camera angles ...when the cup was important

[@TheKardiacKid]

If you compared the finalists this year to 1975, it could be argued that it is more important now than it was then. West Ham finished thirteenth in Division One and Fulham ninth in Division Two that season. Compare that with this season. Second placed Manchester United and fifth Chelsea. The FA Cup matters as much now as it did then.

[@edmundpower1250]

Not at all ...in those days the cup would guarantee a manager a new contract and pay rise ...Conte will be lucky to last another week

[@englishisshu]

Don't think anyone can argue FA Cup matters more now than it did before. Even though I wasn't alive during that era I remember when I was a child a decade ago and we still had 2 hour previews for the FA Cup final we don't even get now. In the 70s you'd hear stories about how such an event's build up would take up the whole day as you didn't see that much football on TV then. The argument given about United and Chelsea last year is just a sad indictment of how football has become because of the divide between the top 6 teams and the rest. It's much more rare to get the lower teams winning things now.

[@tommusic1958]

@@TheKardiacKid It does not matter anywhere near as much. The country shut down for the FA Cup final back then, and the reason teams from mid division and Division two sometimes met was because you did not have a handful of super rich clubs hoovering up all the best players, so there wasn't the huge difference between top and bottom that there is now.

The only live game in the year in those days. A great day.

England v Scotland, the European Cup Final and the odd international as well.

Not a cockney cup final. It was in 1980 though

[@CIMAmotor]

[@emmachavarria9361]

Aired In 1998.

[@jessieeagle2585]

no gloves back then ?

[@sergiosaunier]

Goalies only started regularly wearing them in the eighties.

[@stephenmorse8811]

Only when the conditions were wet or muddy.
