First of all, if you’ve landed here from the Guardian’s ‘classic youtube’ section, please come back often as I’ve got loads more where this came from. Secondly, crack open a tinny, sit back and enjoy six matches from the 70s and 80s, when the FA Cup actually meant something…
1979-80 FA Cup Semi Final: Everton v West Ham
1979-1980 FA Cup Semi Final: Arsenal v Liverpool
1980-1981 FA Cup Semi Final: Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers
1975-76 FA Cup semi final: Derby County v Man United
1989-90 FA Cup semi final replay: Man United v Oldham Athletic
1983-84 FA cup semi final: Watford v Plymouth Argyle
Some great memories, I was at that game in ’84 and could’ve sworn it was our year, didn’t fancy having to beat Everton in the final though.
Yep, football was better in the past.
