FinalWembley Stadium, London
21 May 1977
Attendance: 99,252
Referee: Bob Matthewson
United were determined not to repeat their mediocre display against Southampton in the 1976 Final, while Liverpool came to Wembley with every hope of achieving a thrilling hat‑trick of successes League Championship, FA Cup and European Cup.
Liverpool seemed to be the complete team, with neat flicks and pushes alternating with long sweeping passes out to the wings. For all their midfield pressure, Liverpool rarely looked like scoring in the first half, which finished goalless, though Stepney had been forced to make an unorthodox save with his foot from Kennedy's goalbound header.

Just four days later, Liverpool won the European Cup with a 3-1 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach, and they continued their dominance of the English game for the remainder of the 70s and throughout the 80s.
As for United, Docherty was sacked just two months after the Wembley triumph when it became public that he was having an affair with the wife of club physio, Laurie Brown. He was replaced by Dave Sexton, but it would be six years - under the guidance of Ron Atkinson before United next won the FA Cup.
