On this day...in 1973
« on: 21:17:36, 04/05/09 »
From "Northumbria on this day" by Chris Kilkenny.

5 May 1973

Second division Sunderland  won the FA cup Sunderland played a much-fancied Leeds side but came out winners thanks to a an Ian Porterfield goal and an amazing double save by goal-keeper Jim Montgomery. For many people, the memorable image of the game is manager Bob Stokoe, an ex-Newcastle player, wearing a pork-pie hat, racing across the field at full time to congratulate Montgomery.
