Start match Bobby Moncur and Emlyn Hughes
THE 1974 FA Cup Final saw Newcastle United include Terry McDermott and Alan
Kennedy, later to become great Liverpool players, and two fine strikers in John Tudor and
Malcolm Macdonald. For Liverpool, only Ian Callaghan and Tommy Smith remained from the
Reds' 1965 FA Cup winning team.
The first half was a scrambled affair and Liverpool had only marginally the better
of it. McDermott, in particular, impressed for the Magpies and several times he gained
possession in his own half before accelerating smoothly past Reds' defenders.
Lindsay had the ball in the Newcastle net after 51 minutes, only to be ruled
offside, and the first goal of the game did not come until 13 minutes into the second half
when Hall ducked under Tommy Smith's centre and Keegan found himself with space to bring
the ball under control and shoot smoothly past McFaul.
Fifteen minutes from the final whistle, Toshack nodded Clemence's huge clearance
down for Heighway, who had anticipated the ball beautifully, to run into space and score
Liverpool's second goal. It was the second time that Heighway had scored in an FA Cup
Final, for he had netted against Arsenal three years earlier.
From the bench, Shankly motioned for Liverpool to keep possession and this they
did, playing the ball around in neat little triangles. Two minutes from time came a goal
which will never be bettered as an example of Liverpool's style. Seven players and 12
passes were involved as the ball started with Clemence and finished with Keegan who
touched it over the line.
Liverpool had inflicted upon Newcastle their first Wembley Cup Final defeat with
the biggest Cup Final margin for 14 years.
