The 1973 FA Cup fairytale: On TV in a Sunderland Echo documentary
Sunderland’s miracle of 1973 - seen through an Echo documentary - will be back on our screens this weekend.
The specially made production will be part of a weekend of documentaries on Shots! TV.
Speaking to the fans who were there
The 36-minute production is filled with interviews with people who were at the Wembley final - plus some who remembered what life was like on Wearside on the day.
Sunderland memorably beat Leeds United 1-0 to win the FA Cup.
Monty’s miracle double save
Fans still have vivid memories of Ian Porterfield’s goal, Jimmy Montgomery’s miracle double save and Bob Stokoe running on the pitch after the final whistle.
The Echo’s documentary looks at everything from the clamour to get Cup Final tickets to the atmosphere inside the old Wembley stadium.
