The FA Cup in those days was as big as the league championship (the PL now, kids!) and maybe even the World Cup. NOTHING could detract from the heroes of '68!
Unfortunately the big boys DO treat it as a 2nd class tournament. Even those fighting relegation rest their best for the "more important" games, and with the money in the PL you can't really blame them, can you?
Real shame, as the FA Cup final of years gone by was the most glamorous of the lot.
