Following the red devils 70's style

One day I can remember quite well was when we decided to visit Old Trafford, the home of England's Manchester United soccer team in the Spring of 1977 where we were given a tour around the stadium, got to meet a number of the players getting autographs and the then Manager Tommy Docherty.
A few of the players such as the Greenhoffs lived locally so while most people here support Port Vale there was much interest in their upcoming FA Cup final against Liverpool on May 21st and as it was 1977 by that Saturday afternoon we'd all sit glued to BBC TV's Grandstand program watching the match on our newly acquired colour television.
The match by tradition was played at the Wembley Stadium,Middlesex, just outside London which was refereed by Bob Matthewson.
The Liverpool side of that era is by consent one of the strongest ever including players such as Kevin Keegan so it was one match as excitable schoolboys we were looking forward to.
First to score was United's Stuart Pearson in the second half passing Ray Clemence.
Liverpool equalized with a goal from Jimmy Case which Alex Stepney was unable to stop and the final goal was by Lou Macari which ricocheted off Jimmy Greenhoff's chest looping straight into the net with Liverpool's Clemence and Phil Neal on the line.

They'd won 2-1 breaking a possible three successive wins for Liverpool! 
Lou Macari on third right in the picture later on went to manage Stoke City and is still active in the district. Gordon Hill is second right, while Tommy is in the grey suit and tie.
It remains a highlight of a memorable soccer season from childhood.
