The FA Cup Final 1963

Leicester City 1-3 Manchester United

Wembley, 25th May 1963

The season had seen United fighting relegation, when they faced Leicester in this Cup Final, as Leicester had finished fourth in Division One United appeared to be the underdogs. However, as is often the case, appearances can be deceptive.

The Scottish element of the team combined forces to score the 1st goal after 29 minutes, Crerand made a pass to law who shot the ball home past Banks.

After 57 minutes the second goal was hammered over the line after Banks had only half saved an attempt made by Bobby Charlton. With 10 minutes remaining Keyworth dived and managed to head a successful goal into the net, courtesy of a twice taken free kick. After a further 5 minutes had elapsed Herd took victory beyond the grasp of Leicester when he hammered home the 3rd goal.
