1958 FA Cup Final

The 1958 FA Cup Final was contested on 3 May 1958 by Bolton Wanderers and Manchester United at Wembley, in front of a crowd of 100,000. The referee was J. Sherlock. Bolton won 2–0, with a double by Nat Lofthouse, who scored the goals in the 3rd and 55th minutes. [cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1321966.stm |title=1958 – Man Utd's Brave Dream |accessdate=2007-08-25 |date=2001-05-10 |work=FA Cup |publisher=BBC Sport] United, who had lost the previous final to Aston Villa, had been decimated three months earlier in the Munich air crash, and fielded only four crash survivors, along with several newcomers.

The second Bolton goal was a source of considerable controversy as it resulted from the Manchester United goalkeeper being bundled over the goal line by Lofthouse of Bolton. Goalkeepers were, at that time, much less protected from physical contact with opponents. The resulting debate was one of the high profile incidents that led eventually to the situation that prevails nowadays where no contact with the opposing goalkeeper is permitted.
