It seems the ball is about to hit the post as Manchester United's deputy goalkeeper Jackie Blanchflower and right-back Bill Foulkes (left) and Aston Villa's outside-left Peter McParland anxiously watch during the FA Cup Final at Wembley, on May 4.
But, the ball from McParland has already been in the net and has bounced out again after notching the second goal for Villa in their 2-1 victory, which gave them the Cup for a record seventh time.
Villa's win also preserved their sixty-year old record as the last team to achieve the League-Cup double. United are already League Champions

Rocky Marciano Is Coming To Town- A Holiday He Says
London.
Rocky Marciano is coming to London next month with his wife, but without his manager. I mention the circumstances to emphasise that the trip is a holiday venture by a retired and wealthy American business man, and in no way connected with the nose-busting trade with which Mr Marciano was until recently concerning himself.
Nor should any ulterior motive be deduced from the fact that Mr Marcinno's guide will be Jack Solomons, who also gets a living in the thud-and-blunder business, and who is at present striving might and main to see that his visitor gets here in time to be introduced to the pugilistic populace at Harringay on June 1.
FORECASTING SUCCESSES
I Now Give You Yorkshire For The County Cricket Championship
By ARCHIE QUICK
-Way back last Christmas time I made the following forecasts: Manchester United to win the League Championship for the second year in succession, but not-repeat not the FA Cup and the European Cup; Cardiff and Charlton for relegation; Leicester and Forest for promotion; Notts County and Bury for relegation; Ipswich and Derby for promotion. Substitute Port Vale for Notts County and every one of those forecasts came true. Not bad picking, says I modestly!
About the same time, however, I made an even better choice. I went to the Royal Albert Hall in early December, saw a preliminary fighter named Ron Hinson win a six-rounder, and said here was a boy who would hit the headlines. I remembered him as a useful Army lightweight who won the ABA National title, and in subsequent fights he confirmed the favourable opinion,
