FA Cup Final 1957
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1957 FA Cup Final was contested by Aston Villa and Manchester United at Wembley. Villa won 2-1, with both of their goals scored by Peter McParland. Tommy Taylor got United's goal.
The final was marred by a collision after only 6 minutes which left United's goalkeeper, Ray Wood, unconscious with a broken cheekbone.
Villa's victory gave them the record for the greatest number of FA Cups won, which at the time was seven. Unfortunately, Villa have not been able to add to that total since, which has been passed by several clubs.
