To this day, Southampton’s greatest achievement in the history of the club would be the triumphant 1976 FA Cup victory over Manchester United.
Lawrie McMenemy’s Saints side managed to upset the third placed First Division team, despite only finishing sixth in the Second Division that season as they caused one of the greatest FA Cup final shocks of all time.

99,115 spectators filled Wembley Stadium in order to witness the game. McMenemy and the squad from the historic win will look back on the victory with nostalgia and pride, 40 years on.
How many of the 12 man squad from the 1976 FA Cup final victory can you name?
