From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1966 FA Cup Final was a football match played on 7 May 1966. It contested by Everton and Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley. Everton came into the game as the first team to reach the final without conceding a goal en route, and were managed by former Wednesday boss, Harry Catterick.

Everton came back from 2-0 down to win 3–2, with goals by Mike Trebilcock (2) and Derek Temple. Jim McCalliog and David Ford scored the Owls' goals. It was the last time a team came from 2-0 down to win the FA Cup until Liverpool did against West Ham in 2006.
