Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
I need They presence every passing hour;
The darkness deepends; Lord with me abide!
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power
When other helpers fail; and comforts flee,
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Help of the helpless, 0 abide with me.
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

LOOKING AHEAD
.c
THERE is a great deal spoken and written about the effect
of coaching on the game of football in this country. I
would agree that there are many so-called coaches who
contribute little at the lower levels through an insistence on a
rigid mimicry of styles of play which they see effectively used
by top professional clubs, but only dimly understand. Yet
there is no doubt in my mind that the FA Coaching Scheme
has made an immense contribution over the last thirty years
or so to football both in England and overseas .
The widely held belief that we are somehow technically
inferior to the Continentals and South Americans is, in my
opinion, also patently untrue. Not only do we have some of
the most skilful players in the World, but we also have some
of the best organised teams, which is vital in modern
football. Today's Cup Final teams are a perfect example of
this blend of natural talent with perceptive coaching . DAVE
SEXTON and DON HOWE are products of our coaching
system, both are an essential part of our National Team
set-up and there is no need to look any further than
COPPELL and MclLROY, RIX and BRADY for confirmation of what the British Isles can produce.
But there is no room for complacency. Our Football League
system puts great pressure on players and a player who does
not possess the basic equipment will find it hard to develop
skills amid the pace and commitment of top-level competitive
soccer. It is the duty of the Football Association, therefore,
to ensure that great emphasis is placed on the acqu isition of
the fundamental techniques by young players at the earliest
possible age.
This is why The F.A. and the English Schools' F.A. have
introduced a Super-Skills Award Scheme, with the backing of
the Coca Cola Company Limited . I shall not go into details
about the Scheme as you will be seeing for yourself the
demonstration which we are staging at Wembley this
afternoon. Full information can also be found elsewhere in
this programme. Suffice it to say that The Football
Association considers Super Skills to be one of its major
contributions to the development of the game.
Good luck to the players and officials of both Clubs in
today's game and to the youngsters I would say-"keep
practising, in just a few years' time it may be your turn to play
at Wembley in the Cup Final''.

is
started
out of
sight some fifty years ago, the label 'Lucky
Arsenal' spread like wild-fire. But their 40,000odd loyal supporters, mostly from Highbury and
Islington. would have none of it. And nothing is
changed today. But the 'Lucky' prefix is possibly
a shade hard on generations of Arsenal players
who have never been given sufficient credit for
their achievements.
Some achievements. too. They are listed elsewhere
in this programme. But ten F.A. Cup Finals, four of
them in the past eight seasons, are sufficient in themselves to make the point.
Jn eight seasons from 1931, Arsenal won the First
Division championship five times. a concentrated spell
of success that hii.s been beyond any other club in the
competition since. But through the 'thirties they were
always 'Lucky Arsenal'. They played defensively and
snatched their goals in breakaways. That wasn't
football when it was your team getting beaten.
RY telling that to the Arsenal fans .. Liverpc:iol
were beaten in the F.A. Cup final · with
CHARLIE GEORGElrolling across the Wembley
turf in ecstasy after thumping in the winner.
Arsenal also clawed back a lead of nine points
to overtake Leeds United and snatch the League
title from their last match of the season - on
the ground of local rivals Tottenham I .
.
That was winning the hard way and yet the inevitable
comparison was not with the teams Arsenal had to
beat to do it, but with the Tottenham side of ten years
earlier.
Yet that double squad was led by FRANK
McLINTOCK, then one of the shrewdest captains
and best centre-halves in Britain. Goalkeeper BOB
WILSON, like Mclintock, played for Scotland.
Ireland's PAT RICE was at right-back with England's
BOB McNAB and PETER STOREY also in the
defence. GEORGE GRAHAM. of Scotland, pulled
the strings in midfield, surrounded by players of
international or near-international class like GEORGE
ARMSTRONG, JOHN RADFORD and RAY
KENNEDY.
That was a squad written down almost every time
they were written up. Why 7 Just because they were
Arsenal.

were unluckily beaten by Newcastle United in
1952. But there was more penance than praise.
Then came a period when the Arsenal trophy
sideboard was bare. The rest of Britain .loved it, and
still packed their cwn grounds when Arsenal were
the visitors.
Eventually, increased success in Europe sounded
the warning that Arsenal were on the march once more.
And in 1970-71 came the double of the League
championship and F.A. Cup.
Arsenal were only the second club to achieve the
feat in modern times. Tottenham Hotspur had won
both competitions with panache ten years earlier, but
Arsenal were labelled a boring team to watch. Were
they?

world with a new formation. People in the game
caught on more quickly. Soon every team was
playing with a stopper centre-half. a withdrawn
wing-half and an inside-forward playing deeper
than the other four. Who said the 1958 Brazilians
introduced 4-2-4 to football 7
HERBERT ROBERTS was the stopper, WILF
COPPING the most notable of the defensive winghalves, and ALEX JAMES the scheming insideforward. And Arsenal's stature grew. They became
the biggest club in Britain, and in the 'thirties that was
tantamount to being the biggest club in the world.
•
But after six years of war, the old team led by
England captain EDDIE HAPGOOD was no more.
Could Arsenal rebuild? Yes. They won the League
title again in 1948, and yet again in 1953.

O Arsenal's problem today is all about
opposition, and not only the opposition on
the pitch. One certainty about this 1979 final is
that whatever Arsenal do, the uncommitted
will take a delight in recalling that it took them
five matches to beat Third Division Sheffield
Wednesday in the third round .
Then there is the embarrassment of Arsenal's
performance against Ipswich Town in last year's
F.A. Cup Final. It is still too easy to suggest that
S
strong favourites Arsenal lost it rather than Ipswich
won it.
BUT CLUBS AND TEAMS DON'T GET TO

Arsenal would be half way home.

T
beaten finalists of 1978 and the winners in 1977.
Arsenal who have won the Cup on four occasions
om
previously in 1930, 1936, 1950 and 1971 have had all
their successes at Wembley. Manchester United won
in 1909, 1948, 1963 and 1977.

In 1930 Arsenal reached their first Final at Wembley
and beat Huddersfield Town 2--0 with manager Herbert
Chapman leading his team to victory against his
former club. Overhead the Graf Zeppelin flew!
Arsenal reappeared two years later and were beaten 2-1
by Newcastle United in the Final which was known for the
controversial over-the-by-line incident which led to
Newcastle scoring.
However, in 1936, Arsenal had more luck when they
met Sheffield United and won by a Ted Drake goal, the
scorer playing despite having heavily bandaged protection on a troublesome knee injury.
In 1948 Manchester United won the Cup for the second
time beating Blackpool 4-2 in one of the classic Finals of all
time. They had knocked six First Division sides out, so were
entitled to feel satisfied with their victory.

skill which is part of the make-up of 'the footballer'. writes the F.A. Regional coach for
London (North). Colin E. Murphy.
However, playing priorities differ, dependent on the
level at which the game is played. At International and
Football League level, unquestionably the f i rst priority
is winning matches. The honours available and the
financial incentives ensure that. At other levels, the
enjoyment and recreational side of the game takes on
more significance.
While everyone plays football to win, enjoyment is
the prime reason why young players play and if
winning becomes too important, the joy of passing,
controlling, dribbling and shooting cleverly and
skilfully is lost. At school and youth levels, young
players are still learning and are far from perfect.
A major factor in creating the finished product will
be practice and coaches and teachers will preach
practice to develop a wide range of high class
techniques, i.e. individual contact with the ball in
passing, controlling, dribbling, heading and shooting.
So, to anyone involved in teaching the game to young
players, youth team coach, school master or mistress,
I recommend that they ask themselves the following
question. "Am I purely in the business of winning
matches or am I also in the business of helping players
to play the game better?"
Some will say " to win matches" and the reasons are
not difficult to understand. Those that say the latter
will have the difficult problem of persuading players to
practise. To players of all ages, playing will always
be more attractive than practising. To young players, it
is just possible that the Super Skills Awards go some
of the way towards making practice more attractive.

Both teams have also been runners-up and Arsenal became
beaten finalists in 1927, 1932, 1952, 1972, and 1978, again

in 1957, 1958 and 1976.

But, in 1952, that Newcastle hoodoo struck Arsenal again
when they met at Wembley. Arsenal lost Walley Barnes with a
split cartilage and, six minutes from the end, Un ited scored
the winner.
These Super Skills Awards are for achievement
and are awarded to young people over the age of
seven who can pass simple tests of skill. tests of
touch. heading, passing, controlling and trapping. dribbling, kicking and tests of accuracy
in shooting.
Injury also hit Manchester United in the 1957 Final against
Aston Villa when Ray Wood, their goalkeeper, was carried off
and only returned to play on the wing late in the match.
Villa won 2-1 .
A year later United had survived the tragedy of the Munich
air disaster but their hastily assembled side found Bolton
Wanderers too strong and lost 2-0.
Different awards are given for different levels of
attainment, progressing from the Blue Award through
the Red, Black and Silver Awards to the Gold Award .
To win a Gold Award, a youngster must first hold two
of the other Awards.
They will be earned by achieving the scores set out
in the Super Skills booklet available from The F.A . Super
Skills Award Scheme, 22/24A The Broadway, Darkes
Lane, Potters Bar, Herts.
Happily forthem in1 963 it was a betterending with Leicester
City beaten 3-1 and United achieving their third victory in
the competition .
In 1971 Arsenal had already clinched the League
Championship when they came to Wembley to meet
Liverpool again. The outcome was a 2-1 win, after
extra time, and the double of League and Cup.
Arsenal were back again at Wembley a year later defending
their title, but it was Leeds United who triumphed by an
only goal.
Youngsters taking part in the demonstration
on this great day are drawn from seven schools
within the Wembley area. They have not been
specially selected and they represent the
average standard of player at which the Awards
are aimed. Thejr ages range from nine to 13.
In 1976 Manchester United reappeared in the Final
but were beaten by Second Division side Southampton,
again only one goal was scored.
However, a year later they followed a tradition often
repeated in the F.A. Cup of the beaten finalists of one year
coming back to win when they beat Liverpool 2-1.
Last season it was Arsenal who made the Final but
Ipswich Town proved the victors with a late goal and
they became the 40th different team to have their
name on the trophy since 1872.
Appreciation is expressed to the London Borough of
Brent Education Authority, its teachers, pupils and
parents for their co-operation.

A GREAT DAY FOR THE IRISH. Traditionally,
New York side-walks are painted green on St.
Patrick's Day, March 17. Perhaps, on reflection, that
might not have been a bad idea for Wembley's
Olympic Way today-May 12, 1979.
To plagiarise the words of the song, the air will be
filled with blarney you'd almost think you're back in
old Killarney !
Yes, it's a great day for the wearing of the green as well as
the red of Arsenal and Manchester United.
For never in the history of an F.A. Cup Final has there been
such a plethora of Irishmen in the two teams as is the case
this afternoon.
Many Irishmen down the years have distinguished themselves in F.A. Cup Finals. Players such as the immortal
Peter Doherty (Derby County), George Best (Manchester United), Peter McParland (Aston Villa), Johnny
Giles (Leeds United), Danny Blanchflower (Tottenham
Hotspur), Harry Gregg (Manchester United)-now
coach to the goalkeepers at Old Trafford-Billy Gitlespie
(Sheffield United), Jimmy McAlinden · (Portsmouth),
Tommy Sloan (Cardiff City), Billy Lacy (Livrepool),
Reggie Ryan (West Bromwich Albion), Sammy Smyth
(Wolverhampton Wanderers), Johnny Carey (Manchester
United). The list is endless.
20
* * *
TODAY, however, we find a situation where
Arsenal and United could, if necessary, parade
eleven Irishmen and, just for good measure, one of
their fellow countrymen to handle the side-Arsenal
manager, Terry Neill.
One of Northern Ireland's most illustrious soccer sons,
Terry is a man of principle who made it as a player both for
clubs and country, as a manager of Hull City and then two
of the most prestigious sides in the game-Tottenham
Hotspur and Arsenal.
He held the record number of Northern Ireland ··caps"
until his goalkeeper Pat Jennings climbed to his present
total of 76, a figure which may never be surpassed. Indeed,
shrewd judges consider Pat's consistency of performance
is such he may become the first Irishman to reach the magical
century mark. Nobody will be more proud if that day arrives
than Terry Neil.
Manchester United"s assistant manager, Tommy Cavanagh,
is of course, an Englishman who occupies a similar position
in the Northern Ireland International squad.
And when it comes to the blarney just ask Sammy Mcilroy,
Jimmy Nicholl and David McCreery. They will tell you he falls
not far short of the prince himself, Danny Blanchflower with
whom he has formed such an effective partnership and rapport.
Tommy, whose idol and mentor was Peter Doherty, says
coming from Liverpool is the next best thing to being Irish
anyway! It is not true, however, that Tommy and Danny
kissed the Blarney Stone on the same day!
An assessment of players in these two teams reveals there is
a basis for an all-Ireland side which many reckon could
measure up to anything in International Football.
This is a cherished dream of thousands-the only hope,
despite legislative snags, of ever standing a real chance of
reaching a World Cup Final. Two Irish International team setups does not, they contend, possess the numerical strength of
playing power necessary to compete on equal terms.
Here then, in 4-3-3 formation, is a team which could be
selected from the Irish players Arsenal and United have available on the staff. It could be a formidable one, too.
Pat Jennings (Arsenal), Pat Rice (Arsenal), Jim
Nicholl (Manch-ester United), David O'Leary (Arsenal),
Sammy Nelson (Arsenal), Sammy Mcllroy (Manchester
United), Ashley Grimes (Manchester United), Liam Brady
(Arsenal), Chris McGrath (Manchester United), David
Mccreery (Manchester United) and Frank Stapleton
(Arsenal) .
O'Leary, Grimes, Brady and Stapleton are Republic of
Ireland Internationals with Brady named the Professional
Footballers Association "Player of the Year" , the supreme
accolade of his profession . The others are from Northern
Ireland.
It's a great day for the Irish. No matter who wins the Cup
today, the Irish simply cannot lose.

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP FINAL 1979
both Arsenal and Manchester United have contributed their share of the thrills and drama of Cup Finals. there
W hile
have been many other memorable occasions in the 50 previous matches at Wembley.
to
ry
In fact there could not have been a more dramatic start to a half century of varying facets than the initial 1923 Final when such was the
clamour for admission, the official attendance of 126.047 in no way represented the crowds who actually forced their way in that day.
The match was played out eventually with the multitude thronging Wembley's touchlines and Bolton Wanderers beat West Ham United 2-0.
That was the first and last time the game at Wembley has not been an all-ticket affair. But while similar scenes have not
been repeated, the enthusiasm to get hold of a Cup Final ticket has never diminished .
In 1927 Cardiff City became the only club to take the F.A. Cup out of England when they beat Arsenal by a goal which spun off the unfortunate
Gunners goalkeepers jersey and into the net.
There was tragedy for the Huddersfield Town goalkeeper the following year when he found h imself bundled into the
goal with the ball for Wembley's quickest goal inside a minute. Blackburn Rovers went on to win 3- 1 and it was the first
time the Final losers had scored for 18 years I
Bolton Wanderers came back yet again in 1929 to beat Portsmouth by two clear goals and so took their total of men used in three finals
to only 17 different players who had assembled to win the treble of successes.
After Arsenal's win in 1930. an all-Midland Final in 1931 saw West Bromwich Albion beat Birmingham City by the odd goal in three
and achieve a different kind of double, with promotion to Division One and the cup.
After Newcastle United's success in 1932, the following year provided Everton with a three clear goals win over Manchester City. That
year the players were numbered for the first time in the final-only from 1 to 22 I
Manchester City bounced back the following year to beat Portsmouth 2-1 and, in 1935, Sheffield Wednesday had a 4-2 win over West

Blackpool beat Bolton Wanderers 4-3 thanks to a Stan Mortensen hat-trick but gallant Wanderers were heavily depleted
by injuries on the day and it needed all Matthews' guile to beat them in the end.
West Bromwich Albion were 3-2 winners over Preston North End in 1954 and a 45 second goal by Milburn put Newcastle well on the
way to victory over Manchester City next year. But City lost Jimmy Meadows with a twisted knee and the injury hoodoo was much in
evidence in their 3-1 defeat.
Manchester City were back a year later Re vie -inspired to beat Birmingham City 3-1 and though goalkeeper Bert Trautmann played the
last 15 minutes with a broken neck, they held out.
Aston Villa won for a record seventh time in 1957 and then came Bolton's success in the aftermath of Munich a year
later. Injury struck Roy Dwight of Nottingham Forest after he had scored against Luton Town in 1959 but he was able to
see his team finally win 2- 1 from a hospital TV I
Dave Whelan of Blackburn Rovers broke his leg against Wolves the following year and his team were beaten by three clear goals. And
Len Chalmers was injured the following year against Tottenham Hotspur as Leicester City were beaten 2-0 by a team which achieved the
league and Cup double .
Tottenham won again in 1962 with Burnley beaten 3-1 and Danny Blanchflower scored from the fourth penalty awarded at Wembley.
West Ham United beat Preston North End 3-2 in 1964 to disappoint the youngest cup finalist in history, Howard Kendall, who was 17
years 345 days that May 2nd.
Extra time was forced in the following year for the first time since 1947, when Liverpool finally overcame Leeds United 2-1 after Gerry
Byrne had had to play on with a broken collar bone.
In 1966 Everton recovered from being two goals down to beat Sheffield Wednesday 3- 2 and the losers started the tradition
of the beaten eleven doing a lap of honour for their supporters.
.-
In 1967 it was the first a/I-London final and Spurs won their fifth final in five appearances in beating Chelsea 2-1.
The third minute of extra time provided Jeff Astle with the chance to seal the 1968 final for West Bromwich Albion against Everton and,
in 1969. just a solitary goal ended Leicester City's hopes against Manchester City. For Leicester it was their fourth Wembley defeat.
In 1970 Chelsea and Leeds United were unable to solve their differences at Wembley even after extra time but. in the replay at Old Trafford.
Chelsea won 2-1.
Arsenal clinched the double in 1971 but lost to Leeds United themselves in the 1972 final by a single goal.

confidence. It has flair and finesse. It blends
individual ability with team planning. The players
know they are good because players who don't
measure up to United's standards don't stay long
in the first team at Old Trafford.
Even all that didn't stop United losing their place in the
First Division in 1974. But twelve, months later, they
came roaring back having injected a financial transfusion
into every ailing Second Division club.
United seem to be the club everybody wants to love.
The Munich disaster is only a part of it. Football is what

HEN Matt Busby appointed his first captain,
the choice fell upon JOHNNY CAREY. probably the best all-round player the Republic of
Ireland has produced . Carey, inside-forward,
wing-half and latterly a masterly full-back, was
nearer the complete footballer of his time than
anyone else .

wide world. Precocious they may have been, but
the side skippered by ROGER BYRNE and inspired
by DUNCAN EDWARDS had already won two
League championships and were on the way to a
third when it was decimated at Munich in 1958.
Potentially, the Babes were the best club side
that Britain had ever possessed.
United had to start all over again. They scraped
together a motley crew and survived. When the time
came to rebuild they did it their own way. They did it
from the front.
BOBBY CHARLTON was the symbol of the new
United. DENIS LAW was brought back to Manchester
from Italy. The dazzling talent of GEORGE BEST was
in the wings. PADDY CRERAND was the attacking
midfield man. The defence was added on.
They did the job the Babes had not been allowed to
finish . They won the European Cup for Busby and
Britain. That side, the third of Busby's supreme teams,
was the legacy he handed on when he retired from the
managership.

COME AND GONE. BUT THE AURA OF
MANCHESTER UNITED REMAINS UNCHANGED.
THE
REDS
BELONG,
NOT
JUST
TO
MANCHESTER, BUT TO ENGLAND. LIKE THEIR
OPPONENTS IN THIS YEAR'S F.A. CUP FINAL,
MANCHESTER UNITED'AREAN INTERNATIONAL
CLUB. AND THAT'S WHY, OUTSIDE LIVERPOOL,
THEIR THIRD APPEARANCE IN FOUR SUCCESSIVE FINALS WAS GREETED WITH DELIGHT.
The one red thread winding its way unbroken through
United's post-war tapestry is, of course, SIR MATT
BUSBY who started the rebuilding of the club in 1945,
with war-damaged grandstand and a pitch that wasn't
hardly fit to play on.
Since then, some of Soccer's most celebrated players
have worn the famous red , white and black strip, and if
United haven't quite become an art form they are a
shrine at which thousands and tens of thousands
worship.
The reason is, of course, that United can be guaranteed
to put on the style. The foundations were laid by Matt
Busby when he went out and assembled his first team.
He chose his personality players and told them to go out
and enjoy themselves. United players have been mostly
enjoying themselves ever since, and so have their fans.
.c
UNITED PUT ON THE STYLE!
PEARSON and JACK ROWLEY, and Scotland's
JIMMY DELANEY, the pattern was laid
Successful football management demands at least as
much courage in the boardroom as players are required
to show on the pitch, and Matt Busby has never been
lacking in that particular quality.
When, in the mid-fifties, his first great side showed the
streaks of grey, he ruthlessly broke up the team. But
while that side had been entertaining the masses and
grabbing the biggest headlines, the real work had been
done in the quieter, lower regions of the club. Busby was
on the brink of achieving his dream, a Manchester
United team brought up entirely within the club and
playing to a style he wanted, a unique blend of enterprise
and effect.

GREEN HOFF will be remembered long after the
unlucky defenders have been forgotten.
Now United's reins are controlled by the quiet man
DAVE SEXTON. His comment quite simply. "This is
the most satisfying moment of my career. What a
marvellous way to finish United's Centenary Season with
the coveted F.A. Cup on our sideboard".
Manchester United have been in six F.A. Cup Finals
since the war. None of them has been dull. They promise
this one won't be either.
NITED found their way when TOMMY
DOCHERTY became manager. Though he was
too late to save them from relegation he brought
them back. playing in the old-fashioned way.
They were exciting to watch, they pushed so
many players forward that most matches were

Cup goals being scored by FRANK STAPLETON and ALAN SUNDERLAND. Pictured left we spotlight
Alan Sunderland in a mid-field duel with Wolves' defenders during the semi-final tie at Villa Park.

finals in which the ball has burst.

The story began in 1933 when Frank watched from the terraces as Manchester
City were beaten 3-0 by Everton. Twelve months later he was back again at
Wembley as first team goalkeeper when City took on Portsmouth. With 17
minutes to go, Portsmouth were ahead. But Fred Tilson, who scored the equaliser,
also snatched the winner three minutes from time.
Charlton Athletic"s first F.A. Cup final came in 1946 when they were to lose
4-1 to Derby County after extra time. With ten minutes of the normal 90 to go

ball deflating. Realising the possibility of a bounce-up on his own line, he threw

time Charlton Athletic beat Burnley 1-0 -and again the ball burst.

TRAUTMANN

MANCHESTER CITY
SUNDERLAND
BERT TRAUTMANN, one-time German prisoner of war who became
one of Britain's most popular footballers, not only broke his neck
in the 1956 F.A. Cup final, but played on and collected a winners' medal.
It was against Birmingham City who went into the match raging
favourites having just become the first team to get to the final without
playing at home and having done it with a goals aggregate of 18 against
two.
IT is a toss-up which save has been most seen on television, Gordon
Banks's from Pele in the 1970 World Cup or Jim Montgomery's from
Peter Lorimer, of Leeds United, in the 1973 F.A. Cup final. That was a
match all-conquering Leeds couldn't lose. But they did. And, for once,
the goalscorer, in this case Ian Porterfield, didn't get all the glory.
om
.c
Leeds United had finished third in the First Division with a heavy European
campaign thrown in as usual. Sunderland were to finish sixth in the Second
Division.
It was a mild shock when Porterfield put Sunderland ahead mid-way through
the first half, but that was expected to be no more than a prelude to Leeds taking
over. But they didn't. They attacked with seven men. Then eight. Then nine. Yet
there was no way past the diving, twisting, leaping Montgomery.
Not even when Alan Clarke and Lorimer both had the goal at their mercy with
some 25 minutes left. In Montgomery's own words: "When Clarke headed one

Fifteen minutes from the end, Manchester City were 3-1 ahead . Birmingham
City made one despairing effort. Peter Murphy, a gentleman footballer, broke
through. Trautmann dashed out, dived at Murphy's feet, and that was when the
neck went, though he didn' t know it then. He played on in intense pain and
Ma01chester, beaten by Newcastle United the year before, were home in triumph.
Trautmann, Footballer of the Year that 1955-56 season, was fit to play again the
following season.

Manchester City had discarded the Revie plan, and Don Revie with it But an
attack of boils forced another player to miss the final, Revie was back in the side
