Still remember the original 1972 game at Wembley, as it was one of very few matches to be televised live in the UK. This 9-year old was allowed up to watch it!

(The seven -year-old me still remembers not being allowed to watch the 1970 FA Cup Replay between Chelsea & Leeds at Old Trafford. Shame as reckoned to be one of the dirtiest matches ever in England, but it was a school night.)

Classic game. An equivalent here would be the 1987 Yugoslav Cup final between Hajduk Split and Rijeka. The fans of Hajduk brought a navy orchestra into the stadium and it had some of the funniest commentary from any TV commentator, who was most of the time falling asleep. Better times
