1976 FA Cup Final Southampton v Manchester United
Southampton 1 Manchester United 0
The 1976 FA Cup Final took place on 1 May 1976 at Wembley Stadium. It was contested between Manchester United and Southampton. United had finished 3rd in the First Division that season, and were strong favourites, while unfancied Southampton had finished 6th in the Second Division. In one of the biggest shocks in the history of the final, Southampton won 1–0 through an 83rd minute goal from Bobby Stokes. Manchester United started stronger, and missed several early goalscoring opportunities, with Southampton goalkeeper Ian Turner making a series of impressive saves to deny Gerry Daly and Gordon Hill. Southampton in turn began to create chances; Mick Channon was put through on goal before being denied by goalkeeper Alex Stepney. As extra time loomed, Southampton's Bobby Stokes received Jim McCalliog's pass and slotted the ball past Stepney to score a late winner and with it his side's first major trophy. 1976-Southampton-2c2058c9-32cf-41bb-9c47-2ae14012d83e.jpg SOUTHAMPTON: GK 1 Ian Turner RB 2 Peter Rodrigues (c) LB 3 David Peach CM 4 Nick Holmes CB 5 Mel Blyth CB 6 Jim Steele RW 7 Paul Gilchrist CF 8 Mick Channon CF 9 Peter Osgood CM 10 Jim McCalliog LW 11 Bobby Stokes Substitute: MF 12 Hugh Fisher Manager: Lawrie McMenemy MANCHESTER UNITED: GK 1 Alex Stepney RB 2 Alex Forsyth LB 3 Stewart Houston CF 4 Gerry Daly CB 5 Brian Greenhoff CB 6 Martin Buchan (c) RM 7 Steve Coppell CM 8 Sammy McIlroy CF 9 Stuart Pearson CM 10 Lou Macari LM 11 Gordon Hill 66' Substitute: MF 12 David McCreery 66' Manager: Tommy Docherty |
