FA Cup Final Compilation: The Wizards of Wembley Way

•

There’s something magical about the FA Cup final, don’t you think?

Wembley, the sun shining, a bowling green of a pitch… jumpers for goalposts. Sorry I’ve taken that too far.

Here’s some clips of our guests talking about that most special day in the football calendar

First up, then West Ham manager Alan Pardew tells us of the day in 2006 when Stevie G broke his heart with an injury-time equaliser from, what, 160 yards, to force extra-time and penalties.

Gary McAllister continues the Liverpool theme when he talks us through his part in the Anfield club’s 2-1 win over Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup final.

Robbie di Matteo scored the fastest goal in FA Cup final history in 1997 and he talks us through that iconic moment, before Terry Gibson takes us back to 1988 and the day the Crazy Gang beat Liverpool to pick up the famous trophy.

Finally, listen up for Ander Herrera’s reflections on the 2016 FA Cup final, which marked his first major honour at United.

Enjoy!

Graham
