Prompted by my post int he Vintage forum regarding 1970 cup final ... I have always been able to name the starting 11 for Chelsea from a very young age.. so I thought I would try the other 4 winning cup finals. I got the last two at a push but really struggled with the 1997 and 2000 cup finals.

so the question (with out looking it up !) can anyone name the 5 starting line ups in the winning FA cup finals ?

jt is the red herring here , he was ill that morning and started on the bench i seem to recall.

i put jfh in there but shouldnt have bothered - its like he wasnt there. he was about 10% fit in that game and could hardly run. franco should have started.

Sadly, I can only name the 1970 Cup Winning side. Strangely, I can also name the Leeds side for both games - I think I need help.
