Referee: A Bond - Attendance: 100,000

Birmingham were unable to produce the kind of football against Revie
inspired Manchester City that had carried them to Wembley, and could
only hold their rivals by employing methods which resulted in their tiring
visibly in the last half ‑ hour

Manchester scored twice during this period to win the match
Revie, a late inclusion for the injured Spurdle, was the key player as
Manchester controlled the game with their ‘Hungarian style' play, which
involved keeping the ball on the ground and building up attacks in a slow
and deliberate way  http://www.youtube.com/embed/-isJTLLWR08

Within three minutes of the start Revie began the move near his own
penalty ‑ area which led to the unmarked Hayes sweeping the ball past
Merrick to put Manchester ahead. Birmingham's confidence was shaken
but they fought back to equalize in the fifteenth minute through Welsh
international inside ‑ forward Kinsey

Both teams seemed to lose their touch immediately after half ‑ time but
then, after an hour's play, Manchester regained their stride and suddenly
went two goals ahead. Following a bout of interpassing on the right wing
Dyson was put clean through to score

Three minutes later Johnstone grabbed a third from Dyson's pass
An unexpected chance for Birmingham occurred when Manchester's
German goalkeeper Trautmann was badly injured making a typically
heroic save at Murphy's feet

He played out the last fifteen minutes in great pain, and examination later
revealed a broken neck  http://www.youtube.com/embed/EquhxgZrJz0
