1973 FA Cup final

Common card · No. 323914

The 1973 FA Cup final was the 92nd final of the FA Cup. It took place on 5 May 1973 at Wembley Stadium and was contested between Leeds United, the cup holders and one of the dominant teams in English football at the time, and Sunderland, then playing in the Second Division. In one of the biggest shocks in the history of the competition, Sunderland won 1–0 to become the first Second Division side to lift the Cup since West Bromwich Albion in 1931. It was Sunderland's last Cup win for almost 50 years until the team won the EFL Trophy in 2021, and also their last major trophy as of 2025. Sunderland's team were the only FA Cup winners of the 20th century not to field any full internationals, although some of their players were capped later.
