My dad and his mate only had one ticket they both went down outside Wembley
They tossed a coin , dad lost but he did get in last 10 mins or so
& seen Princess Margaret present the cup to labby, he loved telling that story

Everton come back from 2-0 down to beat Sheff Wed 3-2 to win the FA Cup for the first time in 33 years.

Just where have those sixty years gone?

Just where have those sixty years gone?

And sixty years before that 1906 we beat Newcastle in the final

…..I actually went down with my parents for the final, stayed with relatives in Thornton Heath, near Crystal Palace’s ground.

I was 9yo. My mum and dad took my uncle that match and I didn’t go, I never asked them why. I did go in ‘68 but that wasn’t the best of days

It was a great day, I still have memorabilia in the loft including an LP commentary of the key moments from the semi-final and finals which I reckon I know word-for-word.
