[@paulgraham6316]

As a huge fan and (as a confession) a massive FA Cup Final "statto", I couldn't agree more. The FA Cup Final was very special back then. As a pointer as to just how special it was: when Stanley Matthews finally got his medal in 1953, it was largely celebrated as the day he managed to attain every honour the game had to offer; given that he never won a League Championship, I think that says a lot

[@joekavanagh7171]

I think the Cup winners should get a place in the Champions League the following season. They are more champions than the team finishing fourth in the league.

[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

It’s about money and always has been. Even back then. But league football has vastly overtaken the cup. If the FA Cup had £150 million for the winning team and £90 for the runner up… teams WOULD take it seriously. It’s just a game of football just like a league game is JUST A GAME of football. It doesn’t make the game any less entertaining just because it’s been mythically “devalued”. The big teams nearly always win just like they always have. Leicester won it a few years ago and that was a change. But it’s always been like that since teams started making vastly more money than other teams.

This was the first FA final that I have memories of watching it live on tv. Today, in 2020 it is really difficult to explain how much relevance the event had in the country (except Scotland) in 1963. Match of the Day, and the general introduction of recorded tv football was still more than a year away. We knew about Charlton, Banks, Law and Busby, but this was the only opportunity for non-attending match fans to see them. All in glorious black and white. This film was reserved for us open-mouthed viewers in Jacey cinemas the next Saturday morning screening.

Herd's first was offside but Law and Charlton were excellent.

[@steveblack610]

Pause it on 4.16 when Charlton shoots and reflect on how wrong you are.

[@Afficionadoh]

@@steveblack610 In those days, offside was given when any attacking player was forward of the last defender, not as today when a forward can be judged as not interfering with play. You will see that Manchester's no. 4 returned from an offside position and Banks correctly points to this after Hurd's 'goal'. It should have been ruled out. Now you will reflect on how wrong you are.

[@swinetrek]

Doesn't matter. Banks palmed it into his path. As it came off Banks Herd was onside and the goal valid.

[@joekavanagh7171]

Banks played him onside. You can't be offside if an opponent last touches the ball. I'm sure Ken Aston knew that.

[@alvarcap8141]

if you take out the romantic factor from the equation, football in the 60s is pure rubbish. They were pioneers, they are an essential part in the evolution of the game, and they should be acknowledge for that but the game itself is miles away from what is played nowadays. We have to be very careful when comparing someone like messi with players from 60 years ago. Thought the level of genius in Pele and Messi might be close, the difference in the overall level of the era in which each one of them played is colossal

[@emil_rainbow]

Dennis Law was way overrated.
