1995 FA Cup Final - Everton vs Manchester United

[ijjysmith]

As mentioned elsewhere I've been scouring YouTube all night watching old footy clips and found this.

The entire 1995 FA Cup Final Grandstand. Enjoy.



(It is nearly 5 hours long!)

I was 17, skint and bladdered. Climbed on the loft, punched a hole through to the roof slates and Climbed on the roof and draped my bed sheet Everton 95 cup finalists flag my sister had made for me.

Looking back I probably looked like I was trying to recreate a mini strangeways prison riot of my own.

That header seemed to take an age to go in, Schmeichel booting off at Bruce who didn't jump for it the fat flump, had pulled his hamstring a few minutes earlier.

Always felt we would win that game, what a great cup run that was, even the Newcastle QF at home the atmosphere was amazing.

Bruce carrying some timber there, no?

Brilliant find that Ijj, can't believe that's just your 21 years ago... Christ.

Amazing day, I was only 32 at the time, witnessing the 10th trophy of my lifetime as a blue - little did I know it would be the last over 21 years later.

However it won't be the last I ever witness.

I was half your age and just 16 thinking this would be the first of many.

It's a blockage and we will win loads in the end.

What a time to be alive. I was 10 years old and wore my Everton shirt with pride in front of all the glory seeking Manc kids for weeks.

Got a couple of hidings like lol

The semi final at Elland Road against spurs is probably the best game ever for me, absolutely superb.

Wimbledon game will always stay in my heart but that was scary.

I took my son to this game he was 7 and already a season ticket holder. Remember lifting him up to see us lift the cup. So glad that considering our subsequent decline he at least managed to witness us winning something. Southall was immense that day. Great memories.

I was going to have an early night. Five hours later.......
What a win!

Our name was on that cup from the start. We got murdered at Bristol city for 90 minutes then matt Jackson scored a screamer with his left peg from 25 yards.

What a day, does make me a bit sad to think those I watched it with have since past on, hopefully we see a day of its like again before too long.

Definitely going to give this a watch, cheers for the post @ijjysmith .

Always gives me goosebumps seeing Dave Watsons reaction at the final whistle. What a great captain he was. Was only 10 when we won that game, never thought it would go over 2 decades till the next.

I went to that game, awful pitch because of the rain, we travelled down on the train from London not even knowing if the game was definitely going ahead. Stuart Barlow missed a staggering three different one-on-one's with their keeper in injury time.

Thanks @ijjysmith for posting this. Watched the first half hour or so, but had to switch off or I'd be exhausted today in work! Will definitely be checking this out in full. I was 17 watching with one of my younger brothers who was temporarily a Man U fan....I got him back within a few years despite us being crap and he hasn't looked back. He did however run upstairs to cry under the bed when the final whistle blew at the time. Doesn't like hearing that being repeated!
