Cup Finals throughout the years have
thrown up many
heroes. From Dick Pym the Bolto n Wanderers keeper in 1923 to Eric Cantona
who secured the 'double' for Manchester United in 1996.
Each is classified as a hero by their
team mates and/or their team's supporters. Who was the real hero of the
1953 final was it Stanley Matthews or was it really Stan Mortensen who
actually scored a hat trick to secure the cup for Blackpool? Peter
McParland won the Cup Final by scoring twice for Aston Villa in 1957, but
prior to that he had 'collided' with the Manchester United goalkeeper Ray
Wood, effectively ruling him out of the match. Peter McParland - Hero or
Villain??
The hero does not always finish on the
winning side, ask the famous Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Sam Bartram!
