    This day changed my life. Lonely unhappy child, nothing ever happened near me or where I lived until this. Unfortunately Wednesday lost but not long after, the 1966 World Cup came calling. Hillsborough was one of the venues. Had to wait till 1968 to get to see Sheffield Wednesday play. I was 12 by then. My love for Wednesday has never faded despite numerous setbacks. I am now 67 years old, Wednesday till I die. Supporting them saved my life, luckily now I came to believe in God. Supporting Wednesday kept me going until coming to belief in God.
    I now think the Almighty uses circumstances in our lives to draw us to Him. I pray every blessing to Sheffield Wednesday before the throne of God because I lived to find faith because of them. Wednesday kept me going through a lot of years when I had nothing else.
    Anyone out there reading this, please ask God to reveal His truth to you, show you His presence, show you how Jesus paid the price for your sins. Just admit it to Him and ask for forgiveness. God hears and rejoices when a sinner comes to Him.
    Don't be afraid to ask!!

    Fantastic footage. There is always something slightly innocent about these old newsreels, and even just the culture of the day. You can see it in the way players celebrate jumping on the spot, guys running on the pitch in suits and Bobby´s tripping over themselves to catch them before giving them a firm-but-fair tackle! It is weird when you juxtapose it with all the darker undersides of the day (horrendous racism, rampant sexism, legalised homophobia, imperialism)
    I was born almost 30 years after this, but everything I see from the 60s in terms of the occasion, the crowds, the competetiveness, the number of title-winners in that decade, Britain´s first European Cups. And all of this before hooliganism properly set in. This surely has to be the Golden Age of British football? Would love to have seen it in person. It is a massive shame the FA Cup has lost its prestige.

    The Days when this Cup ment something and teams did not give players a "REST" to the lead up to the final. It was a special day now it is teated just like any other match. Even the semi finals were special. Now! it always chase a European Trophy. I bet if the FA Cup winners had the opportunity to Gain a Position in the Champions League, English Clubs would respect this Trophy more. The European Champions Cup was just an add on now it dominates all competitions. Pity. What should happen is for Cup winners to be places in the Champions League.
