1983 FA Cup 6th Round: Man Utd v Everton

With these two facing each other today, it seemed like as good a time as any to drag this clip into the blog. Without wanting to spoil it for the neutrals among you, the Red Devils went on to win the trophy that year, managed by big Ron Atkinson, in a replay after an absolute classic 2-2 draw with Brighton. This particular match, therefore, was won by Man Utd.

Revel in the diagonal team sheets, italic fonts and complete lack of shirt sponsors, look out for Liverpool legend Steve McMahon strutting his stuff for Everton. Despite Man Utd winning the battle, the mid-eighties war would definitely go the way of Everton, who were on the brink of cup, league and European success in the coming seasons.
