Cup final day back then was such a special day from morning till finish

To Clive Bonneywell: The F. A. Cup Final was the most atmospheric. The days of yore consisted of real fans in and outside of the stadiums. Enthusiasm prevailed in every vicinity. Today's fans are led by KZitemrs and social media "professional" amateurs, making a buck from their basement libraries, waxing with sciolism, and wacking their own teams with pedantry run amok. The ambiance (spirit) from even the biggest games in this generation pales in comparison.

For me, personally, it died the season Man.Utd. didn't take part. I think the final was Chelsea v Villa and as a Leeds fan the magic had died.

Don Revie was right about the result, bless him. But he was wrong about Southampton's average crowd, which he put at 15,000. The average attendance at The Dell in those days was around 25,000 - perhaps more with the excitement of the F A Cup run.

Saints had many experienced players (Channon, Osgood, Rodrigues, McCalliog, Blyth ) and a very shrewd manager. 1st Div players but playing in the 2nd Div. The media just assumed that ManUtd would win simply because they were in the 1st Div. And the FA Cup, no matter what the current media propaganda would have you believe, is now nothing like the competition it once was. To any top manager or player then, it mattered as much to win the Cup as to win the League title. It was that important, that prestigious.
