Call an ambulance! The 1957 FA Cup Final was only a few minutes in when Villa's Northern Irish frontman Peter McParland clattered into Manchester United 'keeper Ray Wood. This caused Wood a broken jaw and concussion but remarkably he re-entered the field as an outfield player in the pre-substitute days. McParland remained on the pitch and became the hero scoring both goals in Aston Villa's 2-1 win. A late consolation from United centre forward Tommy Taylor was just that as the Villans held on to win their 7th (and most recent) FA Cup. 100% Cotton
