Aston Villa v Manchester United, 04 May 1957

Kick Off: 15:00 BST The final was marred by a collision after only six minutes between Aston Villa forward Peter McParland and Manchester United goalkeeper Ray Wood, which left Wood unconscious with a broken cheekbone. Wood left the pitch and Jackie Blanchflower took over in goal for Manchester 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. It was Aston Villa's first major trophy for 37 years. Aston Villa's victory gave them their seventh FA Cup title, a record number at the time. Six of the 11 players who took to the field for Manchester United in this game lost their lives in the Munich air disaster nine months later; as did a further two players who did not appear in the game, while two others (who both appeared in the game) were injured to such an extent that they never played again.
