The West Brom Everton one is the first I remember too.The first FA Cup final I remember watching was WBA v Everton in 1968 but can't remember much more than the scoreline being 1-0 to West Brom. I seem to remember more about the Man City v Leicester final the following year.
The first time I attended an FA Cup Final was in 1977 to watch Man Utd and Liverpool. Liverpool had beaten us on the way to the final and were hoping to do the treble that season. Man U, under Tommy Docherty, beat Liverpool 3-1.
My dad had been given two tickets around 2 weeks prior to the final and was taking my younger brother (I had been to the League Cup Final earlier in the season). On the Thursday night prior to their travelling, the guy next door came with a spare ticket and asked if my dad would sell it at the game for him and insisted it was at face value. My dad phoned the hotel and got me a room and travel on the train. I was in a different enclosure to them but loved every minute of it.
I remember thinking I would love to see the Boro walk out at Wembley and that I would die if I did. We all know the rest of that story.
