FA Cup Final 1948: Manchester Utd 4-2 Blackpool Wembley Stadium: Saturday 24th April Manchester Utd 4-2 Blackpool (Rowley 2, Pearson, Anderson) (Shimwell (Pen), Mortensen) MU: Crompton, Carey, Aston, Anderson, Chiltern, Cockburn, Delaney, Morris, Rowley, Pearson, Mitten. BL: Robinson, Shimwell, Crosland, Johnston, Hayward, Kelly, Matthews, Munro, Mortensen, Dick, Rickett. Referee: C J Barrick Attendance: 99,000 The all Lancashire Cup Final of 1948 was one of the best exhibitions of football seen at Wembley. It isn't often that the football in the Final reaches the noblest heights; the excitement, the importance of the occasion and the huge crowd all too often combine to cause ‘Wembley nerves'. United had been among the Final probables from the start of the competition and rapidly became the favourites. In the first half at Wembley, which ended with Blackpool in the lead 2-1, United's brilliant play had not been rewarded as it should have been. After fifteen minutes Mortensen was tackled from behind inside the area, and Shimwell scored from the spot to put Blackpool in front. Five minutes after Rowley had equalized from Delaney's pass, Blackpool scored again with Mortensen's cross shot. Rowley darted between two defenders to head United level again from a quickly taken free kick, and it was Crompton's save from England international Mortensen's fine shot in the eightieth minute that proved to be the turning point. Play immediately switched to the other end, and Pearson's hard shot from twenty yards flew into the Blackpool net via an upright. Three minutes later Anderson made the final score 4-2 to United. United, with their extra stamina and power in attack, had just about deserved their exciting victory - their twelve corner kicks to Blackpool's four had been a fair reflection of the play.
