The FA Cup Final 1985
Everton 0-1 Manchester United
18th May 1985
United dashed Liverpool's hopes of a League, FA Cup and European treble with their win at Wembley. They repeated this victory when they met Merseyside's other famous team - Everton.
The Trophy Room at Goodison park was already home to the Canon League Trophy and the European Cup-winners Cup and Everton looked set to achieve something that no other club had done before - win the League and Cup Double and a European prize in the same season.
After 78 minutes of less than spectacular football, the referee (a retired police inspector) sent off Kevin Moran after a seemingly normal tackle, making Moran the first player to be shown the Red Card in an FA Cup Final.
Losing Moran had the effect of spurring them on and they were still fighting hard to score in extra time, with Olsen and Strachan in particular menacing Everton's defence.
After 110 minutes of play, United finally achieved a breakthrough with a magnificent curling shot from Norman Whiteside.
Ron Atkinson was quoted as saying "arguably the best Cup Win any side will have at Wembley".
