1963 FA Cup Final Manchester United v Leicester City
Manchester United 3 Leicester City 1
The 1963 FA Cup Final was a football match played on 25 May 1963 at Wembley. The final was contested by Manchester United and Leicester City. United won 3–1, with goals by Denis Law and David Herd (2). Ken Keyworth scored the Foxes' goal.
United fielded the most expensive team that had ever played at a Final, with stars such as Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton and Johnny Giles. But their season had been a poor one, until they finally found their touch at Wembley.This was the year of the 'big freeze' with inclement weather earlier in the season forcing the Final to be played three weeks later than planned.
