I was a 12 year old Derby fan and there in absolute floods of tears. Just beaten Liverpool in the quarterfinals 1-0

I was there and it seemed to be a magical day where Manchester United were destined to win! ... After Merlin's second goal I was jumping up and down with a complete stranger in celebration! ... lol. I also shed tears of joy at the end of the game ... silly, huh? It was the quality of the opposition that probably made it special at the time as they should have outplayed us but it just didn't happen on the day for them.

Jeez, what an atmosphere!!

This is what an FA Cup semi-final should be, a tense momentous occasion ending in jubilation for one and heartbreak for the other. Greedily moving the semi-finals to Wembley destroyed the magic.

Red Army of 1970's were the best most passionate fans in the world!!!

Was 10 years old and my dad got tickets but we was in the Derby supporters, my dad said if we score dont cheer , Gordon Hill scores a beauty and my old man is up cheering...2nd goes in and on the way out my dad is dancing in the car park with other United fans ...fab day and great memories of years home and away with my Dad ..Ted the Red ,cheers Dad ..sleep tight xx

I was 13 years at that time and it was very brilliant for UTD for coming back to Wembly again ..

Now that's some real football played by some real men

Emotional time supporting Utd as a boy. Get a lump in my throat whenever I see anything from docs era.

That Leppings lane end looked tight again... Was there in it with Cov in 87 quarter final..... Leeds packed it again 6 weeks later in the semi final and I think Spurs almost burst it in the early 1980's.....the bang in 89 it happened.

United fans everywhere !

Barry Davies would not cover another FA Cup Semi-Final for twelve years until he did the Luton v Wimbledon game in 1988. He did "voice over" the 1985 SF replay between Man Utd & Liverpool but that doesn't count.

Cracking game. Cracking bones! Bruce Rioch was the Hitman for some reason but McIlroy probably deserved it being tauntingly disrespectful with the ball. Tackles. Where art thee now.

Nish's goal should've been awarded

40:31 [Then] Future United keeper, Chris Turner

David Nish was onside when that ball was played, with his teammates retreating away from the goal being attacked. Too late now.

the day the Derby County decline started

35:00 The Derby end.

30:44 superb 😂

Lots of Bruce Lee fans in the Derby team it seems.

At 39:40 minutes: I'll always remember Bruce Rioch's dirtiness. Please tell me if there was any punishment issued to him for this. Why didn't Manchester United all come together and show some unity, anger, or, at least, speak to him about this? Also, tell me when Rioch croaks. I am glad that one of the fans put a boot up his backside.
