CUP THAT CHEERS
THIS YEAR MARKS THE 50th anniversary of one of the most famous FA CUP FINALS: second-tier Sunderland 1, feared and storied Leeds United 0. The match was memorable not just for the upset but for Sunderland keeper Jim Montgomery’s astonishing double save, keeping out first a Trevor Cherry header (left) and then a piledriver from Peter Lorimer, the fiercest shooter in the game.
Montgomery is still going strong at nearly 80 but both Cherry and Lorimer have died in the last few years, and it’s not hard to feel that much
