    My first was 1997, Chelsea vs Boro. RDM's 42 second goal.

    Ironically the date was the 17th May 1997.

    I remember

    Everton Watford in 84
    Man U Everton in 85
    Liverpool Everton in 86
    Spurs Coventry in 87
    Liverpool Wimbledon in 88

    but probably none of ANY since

    The FA Cup as a spectacle disappeared around the time the Premier League took place as all of football marketing was surrounding this new venture

    The Man U vs Everton with Whiteside and Moran hitting the headlines is the first I remember and then Spurs v Coventry really sticks in the mind. Houchen's diving header was amazing.

    Strange really, as I was 10 at the time of Man Utd vs Everton. Dont know why I dont recall an earlier one.

    1985 was a good one. I was 10, left footed and totally in awe of Kevin Sheedy.

    The worst one I've been to, by some distance, was Portsmouth v Cardiff in 2008.

    It was absolutely dire.

    Ipswich-Arsenal, 1978, was my first.

    I too don't remember many since the late 80s. That is partly because it has declined as a competition, partly cos the 70s and 80s was when i was a kid and had fewer things on my plate, but another big factor is that until, i think, the 1982-83 season, the FA Cup final was practically the only live club game on TV. That and European finals that British teams were in. Just to be able to see a live club game on tv was a big deal back then.

    1953 Blackpool v Bolton Wanderers.
    Big build up to the game as to whether Stan. Matthews could be on the winning side at the age of 38.Exciting game with Blackpool down 3-1 and coming back to win 4-3 in extra time. City signed the hattrick scorer Stan.Mortenson 2 years later.
