...From a Die hard Sunderland fan undoubtedly the best day in Sunderland Association Football Club History, when they took on Leeds in the 1973 Fa Cup Final. After defeating Luton Town 2 - 0 in the quarter final and Arsenal 2 - 1 in the Semis, Sunderland's Cup Final Slot was secured.

Advantages: Leeds win, nostagic
Disadvantages: Old cameras, faded colours

...As a young follower of Leeds Utd, my generation has been constantly reminded of the 60's and 70's.

Van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane all scored from the spot kick but they could'nt stop any of Arsenal's penalties as Lauren, Ljungberg, Robin Van Persie and Ashley Cole all scored from the spot kick for Arsenal before Patrick Viera scored the deciding spot...
