1983 FA Cup Final

The 1983 FA Cup Final was contested by Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley. The first match finished 2-2 after extra time. Gordon Smith and Gary Stevens scored for Brighton; Frank Stapleton and Ray Wilkins for United. In the replay, United won 4-0, with goals by Bryan Robson (2), Norman Whiteside and a penalty from Arnold Mühren.
