Three time winners Liverpool were odds-on favourites to beat unfashionable Wimbledon.
Wimbledon had already turned heads with their surprise rise from non-league football. Now they were to clinch the FA Cup for the first time in their history against three times champions Liverpool.

It was Lawrie Sanchez who scored the crucial goal, taking an unforgettable header off a Dennis Wise free kick just before half time. Wimbledon goalkeeper Dave Beasant achieved glory that day, deflecting Liverpool goals. He even made the record books himself, becoming the first goalkeeper to save a penalty kick at Wembley. It was celebrations-a-plenty as the whistle signified game over and the coveted cup headed to South London for the first time ever.
