Referee: K Howley Attendance: 100, 000 Wolves had high hopes of achieving the elusive League and Cup double until Burnley's victory at Manchester City on the Monday before the Final meant that they were concentrating solely on winning the Cup. Wolves were on top at the start and took the lead four minutes before half time when Rovers defender McGrath, trying to cut out Stobart's low cross into the goalmouth, only succeeded in deflecting the ball into his own net. Two minutes later tragedy struck when Rovers defender Whelan broke a leg in a harmless looking tackle with Deeley. At half time, then, Wolves must have gone off knowing that, barring further accidents, the Cup was surely theirs. Despite their handicap, however, Rovers were far from prepared to accept defeat without a struggle. As the combined effects of the heat and of playing with ten men began to tell on the Rovers team, Wolves almost inevitably went further ahead. In the sixty seventh minute Home beat the offside trap and had plenty of time in which to centre from the left to Deeley who scored with a first time shot from near the penalty spot. The remainder of the match was dominated by Wolves. Flowers had a goal' disallowed for offside, and then Deeley followed up to score a third after Stobart's centre had come back off a post.
