1957 FA CUP FINAL MANCHESTER UNITED VS ASTON VILLA - THE FULL MATCH

The 1957 FA Cup Final was a football match played on 4 May 1957 at Wembley Stadium. The match was contested by Aston Villa and Manchester United. Villa won 2-1, with both of their goals scored by Peter McParland. Tommy Taylor got United's goal.

The final was marred by a collision after only six minutes between Villa forward Peter McParland and United goalkeeper Ray Wood, which left Wood unconscious with a broken cheekbone. Wood left the pitch and Jackie Blanchflower took over in goal for United. Wood eventually rejoined the game in an outfield position as a virtual passenger before returning to goal for the last seven minutes of the game.

Villa's victory gave them their seventh FA Cup title, a record number at the time. Villa have not been able to add to that total since, which has been passed by three clubs -- including Manchester United, who now hold the record with eleven wins.

In December 2007, BBC Four screened a documentary, A Game of Two Eras, which compared the 1957 final with its 2007 counterpart.

send me in inbox a list of trophies your team has won in its history.

[GedoMazou]

@G1S1W LOL

A team which was relegated to 2nd division (twice?) won't ever be bigger than Internacional, a club never relegated in any competition which participated...

[G1S1W]

@GedoMazou man utd are a bigger club than your team

[GedoMazou]

@agm1112 Not my Internacional... Remember the spanishs about 2006 club world cup... They'll cry!

[GedoMazou]

@G1S1W Oh really? Talking about financial terms, yes, it's true, because european clubs are just items for sale, bought by rich americans and arabs... Brazilian clubs are poor but are not for sale in Nasdaq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
