    interesting how much the camerawork had improved in the 12 months since the 57 Final …..

    I’d love to hear some crowd chants of these times.

    Yes, I noticed that. No violence in those days or bad language, just football rattles. Note also the innocent looking girl @ 1.01 who would now be in her mid 70s.

    Yes, and the keeper Trautmann broke his neck in the 56 final as well. 3 finals on the trot with a goalkeeping injury. And then in the 1960 final Wigan chairman Dave Whelan was carried off with a broken leg in the 1st half, with no subs allowed in those days. Then in 1965 Gerry Byrne broke his collarbone in the 3rd minute and played on for the rest of the game and extra time as subs were still not allowed.

    Inthe 1957 final Man Utd played Aston Villa.The United goalkeeper got flattened and broke his jaw i think.
    Two goalkeeping incidents same team.Amazing coincedence.

    I just love watching old matches, partly because of the style of play but also because the fans were so much better back then.

    Case in point, 1:31, two women enjoying the match with tea and biscuits, it’s just awesome!

    If you watch it from another angle Lofthouse absolutely battered into him. Would have been a foul nowadays.

    You also get to see some relatively rare footage of the younger, more dynamic version of Sir Bobby Charlton in this vid. More modern fans just tend to remember the older, “silver fox” version of Charlton circa the ’66 England WC win IMO.

    You really get to see many of Lofthouse’s positive attacking qualities as a No.9/centre-forward w/that 1st goal IMO. Don’t forget that he was also well into his THIRTIES in this Cup Final IIRC…

    Same here, the style of playing hasnt changed a whole lot just barcelonas style is new. Just sayin

    Man those goalkeepers couldn’t catch a cold in a freezer. That second goal was soft he should have held on to it. I wonder how many goals like that the inventor of goalie gloves watched before he got his bright idea.

    Well thanks for setting me straight you unfriendly prick. Thanks for the information.

    That second goal was a joke. Not only did he take the goalie out, but it’s like he hit the ball in with his arm.
