"Newcastle United Vs Manchester City" is the complete story including real original footage of the 1955 FA Cup Final and The Magpies famous 6th triumph.
Nobody would have thought that when Newcastle United lifted the FA Cup trophy for a record sixth time back in 1955, that it would be the last time the club would lift a major domestic cup, especially as it was the team's third success already in the 1950s.
FA Cup Finals can often take a while to really get going. Not the case in 1955, as Newcastle United won a corner straight from kick-off. 'Wor' Jackie Milburn's header put the Geordies 1-0 up with what was, at the time, the fastest ever Cup Final goal, timed at 45 seconds. Roberto Di Matteo of Chelsea would surpass the feat some 42 years later. Reduced to 10 men through injury, Manchester City battled manfully with 'keeper Bert Trautman in inspirational form and bravely equalised on half time. The second half was pretty much one-way traffic, however, and Newcastle forced home its numerical advantage with goals from Bobby Mitchell and George Hannah. Cue mass scenes of euphoria from a healthy majority of the 100,000 crowd.
This is a fantastic keepsake for Newcastle United fans, the club's last major trophy won at Wembley in 1955. ** There is the odd deficiency in picture and audio quality due to nature of the original footage.
