The thought of Bury facing Notts County in the final is just that - a thought. Bury played, and beat, Derby 6-0 that season. I'm pretty sure it's also the final where the clubs were the closest in terms of league position, separated only by goal difference.

I think there are a few missing off that list. Liverpools last year must be included? Gerrards winner was the stuff of fairy tales.....

Um.... did you read the list????? :eek:
Liverpool 3-3 West Ham is #2 on the list... behind only Blackpool - Bolton 1953.
The second ever FA Cup final I watched was I believe in 1989 (the first being Wimnbledon vs. Pool) .. Liverpool 3-2 Everton after extra time. Aldridge and Rush (2 in extra time) were the scorers cancelling out a Stuart McCall double. I remember that was quite a game - especially in extra time. I guess the fact that not much really happened in regular time cancelled this match out.

I wonder if todays final will get added to the list. Seriously though, I am really looking forward to this game. More than any other FA cup final I can remember.

It'll have to be a very very special second half to get in that list

Safely say it wasnt the one yesterday, that was a fixed sham. It has to be the Coventry vs Spurs final, Keith Hauchen with that beautiful header..

Now your talking. I remember watching it and it was a great game. A great way to get our only trophy.
