Forty on years on and dreaming of another Southampton victory

Jim McCalliog, a man of flicks and touches who does not find football especially difficult, pauses briefly then lifts the ball beyond United's central defenders. They are slow to react and this is all Bobby Stokes needs.

A man who finds football quite hard work by comparison, his shot is neither scuffed nor properly hit but, crucially, it drifts wide of Alex Stepney to rest, almost apologetically, in the corner of the net. In those few seconds 41 years ago, Southampton produce the greatest moment in their long and largely undistinguished history.

This unlikely FA Cup success will make a television star of Lawrie McMenemy, who builds two more outstanding Saints teams, and eventually prove all too much for Stokes, the much-loved journeyman who finally returns to his native Portsmouth and tragically fades away through self-neglect, dying in 1995. Some can handle Andy Warhol's 'fifteen minutes of fame' and some can't.
