MC: Trautman, Meadows, Little, Barnes, Ewing, Paul, Spurdle, Hayes, Revie, Johnstone, Fagan. Referee: R Leafe Attendance: 100, 000 Newcastle had the same dressing room as when they met Arsenal in 1952, plus the knowledge and confidence gained in two recent Final victories. There was another coincidence City lost right back Meadows as the result of a twisted knee, in a way almost exactly paralleled in 1952 when Arsenal lost Barnes following his attempt to stop the very same player, Mitchell, in the very same corner of the field. Milburn scored for Newcastle with a header from White's corner kick within a minute of the start. With City's 'Revie plan' operating so precisely and effectively, City played some great football in the twenty minutes after Meadows' untimely departure, and Johnstone even levelled the scores in the last minute of the half with a diving header. Newcastle's counter move to City's plan had been for the defence to move upfield very quickly immediately Revie, well behind his own forwards, got the ball. City forwards found themselves in offside positions before the pass was made. Meadows did not return, and it was not surprising that Newcastle, with the extra man, started the second half confidently. Within fifteen minutes they had scored twice. Mitchell cut in and shot from a narrow angle under Trautmann's dive, and then Mitchell's dazzle dance took him past two City players and allowed him to lay on a fairly simple chance for Hannah. A great achievement for The Magpies, they had won the famous trophy three times in five years. Route to Final Semi FinalNEWCASTLE UTD v York C 1-1, 2-0, MAN C v Sunderland 1-0.
