1964 FA Cup Final - West Ham United v Preston North End

The 1964 FA Cup Final offered up an intriguing contest between West Ham United, who were bidding to win the Cup for the 1st time in their history, and 2nd Division Preston North End, who 3 years after being relegated from the Top Flight were bidding to cause an upset in the final, and win their 3rd FA Cup. The Hammers were favourites with the critics, who loved their style of play and star players, which included Geoff Hurst, Ronnie Boyce, Johnny Byrne and were captained by golden boy Bobby Moore. Preston, however, had their own star in the making in 18 year old Howard Kendall, and in this game would make a name for himself in a final that would prove excting and dramatic. This is from a DVD I have of the match, and includes interviews with the players afterwards. It is filmed in B&W, as it was shown when broadcast all those years ago. But although I wish they would colourize the earlier Cup Finals, this match actually suits it's B&W imagery, as it adds to the whole drama of the Final. One of the best Cup Finals of the B&W era.
