Yes it was Alan Clarke. As I recall however Lochhead was the more dangerous and indeed had their best chance. Peter Rodrigues also had a good game for them.
The FAC final was often played before the end of the normal League season. At the time it wasn’t particularly unusual.Very early in the spring to be playing the FA Cup Final.
Any particular reason @Mad Eyed Screamer or @Gary James ?
It was Alan Clarke imho undeservedHonestly haven't google this but I think it was David Nish, the Leicester defender.

Ive got that framed pic.its special.No idea..... I think that the season ended earlier in those days. European competitions had something like 4 rounds and it was the final. It was the FA Cup on the Saturday, European Cup on the Wednesday and the Home Internationals the following Saturday / Wednesday / Saturday. I always used to think the Home Internationals were at the beginning of May.
What is interesting is that when City won the Cup in 69, we were still also the current League Champions from 68 (hence that picture of Tony Book with the League, FA Cup and Charity Shield together! Sorry can't post it)
Leeds won the League (I think) on the Monday so for the two days, City held all three trophies!
Was the Cup Final scheduled to be at the end of the season though? I don't recall a full league programme taking place beyond the FA Cup final in the 70's / 80's but do recall the odd one or two fixtures that couldn't be scheduled prior to the final taking place - usually the game that should have been played on the semi final day or if there had been a fixture pile up due to bad weather.The FAC final was often played before the end of the normal League season.
