Don Revie was right about the result, bless him. But he was wrong about Southampton's average crowd, which he put at 15,000. The average attendance at The Dell in those days was around 25,000 - perhaps more with the excitement of the F A Cup run.

Wonderful footballer...

Just amazing . Made my day then aged 10 . Still just made my day . As good as winning the play offs at Wembley in 2024

my first cup final ,heartbroken ,but hey thats football ,had a few good times since though not least 48 years later ,this year when we beat city

This was when winning the fa cup really mattered, not like today's winners it means nothing saints fans still talk about that day 50 years later

2nd Division Southampton beat the mighty reds ..too funny...

It was all big hair and trousers in the those days 😂

Great goals and no stupid over the top idiotic dancing celebration's.

You’re missing something

❤

Harrryyyyy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!❤😊

Happy birthday Sophia🎉😊

What’s the point not even full time

So much for catweezles prediction

Reporter Martin Tyler !

Great speech by a great footballer, so sad he passed so early, always be remembered by anyone who was alive in '66 and watched that match, where England won the world cup.

Was his paper boy in the late 60s Chelsea owned a house in Twickenham, Peter Osgood , Eddie McCreadie , Jimmy McCalliog all lived there met them all ...great time's. .

YNWA at 02:00

Pompey boy won them their only major 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Only major 😂😂

United were all over them in the first half but somehow couldn't score. Then McIlroy hit the bar early in the second half. After that, it seemed like they felt they just wouldn't score at all.

Norm, Thanks very much for this inspirational speech from Alan Ball-so much not just on the game but also on family loyalty. Always an engaging character and excellent wholehearted player wherever he went, including Saints. Died tragically so young RIP. Thanks and compliments on providing this.

Brilliant player and brilliant man. I had the great pleasure of meeting him once after an after dinner speech when he came over to me and said. “I have heard about you.” He wanted to talk about me! I couldn’t get a word in. On the way home a friend said. “It’s not often you get to shake hands with a World Cup winner.” I never have since.

Norm, Thanks very much for these uploads on the build-up to Saints' Wembley date with Man. Utd. It is a day I remember well and compliments on reviving that big-match atmosphere. Best wishes to you and your family!

Georges Bode…absolutely full of it😂 Stop smoking pot!

Great times then, now it’s all foreigners wanting too much money!! The FA cup and the premiership are a joke!

Wow I miss these great days…..Cup Final day at the old Wembley

I'm related to Alan ball on my grandmother's side

Those were the days of authentic English football, days of yore passed out in the mist of times, what has been left? Commercial techniques and a ramshackle identity...

I watched this as a 14 year old in England. The FA Cup final was something you never missed and there was nothing like the old Wembley stadium. Even watching it all these years later in the US, I can still remember the goal. It always seemed like it happened in slow motion, especially when Stepney tried to save it. At least Man U got redemption the following year against Liverpool, which was a much better game.

Fantastic trousers. :-)

I love Southampton FC

Watched this as a boy in the cinema in Jo’burg. No TV and no broadcast. Cinema football. Enjoyed it. Made a change to rugby.

Brilliant footage , well done

Well that astrologer bloke was spot on. Bellend.

Cocky oiks got their backsides handed to them on a plate.

_Arrrrr it just stops_ 😳

No Le Tissier in the final squad? Unforgivable

The build up to kick off made the final special 🏐

Watched this Final as an 18 year old Nuetral ,and i still think the old Wembley had loads more charcter and better atmosphere than the new one

4:31 this is the reason why England struggled in the 70s

This was when the top teams always played their best players for each and every round of the FA Cup.

Super Saints. I was there aged 16. May 1st. Thank you John for taking me.

I was 10 and my Auntie said to us kids, if Southampton won we could buy her flowers from our first weeks wages when we were older. I was the only one to remember. Aunty Vera was from Southampton and never guessed they'd win. R.I.P. Aunty.

Sack the Dutch hippy at 13.50 he got his prediction completely wrong

It was bloody well offside

I was there! i can't actually remember much about the game except between us scoring and the final whistle was an awfully long time it seemed . Driving back down the M3 and every bridge had people with saints scarves and banners , It was a brilliant day , i still have my ticket , rosette and scarf

Cup final Saturday at this time was brilliantly done from early morning. TV coverage was top notch. Brian Moore on ITV, great voice. Proper football presentation. Nostalgia, a beautiful and heart aching thing at one and the same time.
