On This Day
Villa suffer a shock defeat in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Shock because they were the fancied team
Shock because their preparation had been sensibly consistent
Shock because they had won the trophy six times in seven final appearances.
Shock because they were the better side throughout the game.
Shock because the winning goals, against the run of play, came in three minutes with just three minutes left to play.
Just one player, Gibson, lined up for the opposition in the FA Cup final who had appeared in the previous Monday's fixture between the two clubs.
