MC: Trautman, Leivers, Little, Barnes, Ewing, Paul, Johnstone, Hayes, Revie, Dyson, Clarke.
BC: Merrick, Hall, Green, Newman, Smith, Boyd, Astall, Kinsey, Brown, Murphy, Govan. Referee: A Bond Attendance: 100, 000 Birmingham were unable to produce the kind of football against Revie inspired Manchester City that had carried them to Wembley, and could only hold their rivals by employing methods which resulted in their tiring visibly in the last half hour. Manchester scored twice during this period to win the match. Revie, a late inclusion for the injured Spurdle, was the key player as Manchester controlled the game with their ‘Hungarian style' play, which involved keeping the ball on the ground and building up attacks in a slow and deliberate way. Within three minutes of the start Revie began the move near his own penalty area which led to the unmarked Hayes sweeping the ball past Merrick to put Manchester ahead. Birmingham's confidence was shaken, but they fought back to equalize in the fifteenth minute through Welsh international inside forward Kinsey. Both teams seemed to lose their touch immediately after half time, but then, after an hour's play, Manchester regained their stride and suddenly went two goals ahead. Following a bout of inter passing on the right wing, Dyson was put clean through to score. Three minutes later Johnstone grabbed a third from Dyson's pass. An unexpected chance for Birmingham occurred when Manchester's German goalkeeper Trautmann was badly injured making a typically heroic save at Murphy's feet. He played out the last fifteen minutes in great pain, and examination later revealed a broken neck. Route to Final Semi FinalBIRMINGHAM C v Sunderland 3-0, MAN C v Spurs 1-0.
