The1957 FA Cup final was afootball match played on 4 May 1957 atWembley Stadium betweenAston Villa andManchester United. Villa won 2–1, with both of their goals scored byPeter McParland.Tommy Taylor scored United's goal. It was Villa's first major trophy for 37 years.^[5]

A collision after only six minutes between Villa forward Peter McParland and United goalkeeperRay Wood, which left Wood unconscious with a broken cheekbone. Wood left the pitch andJackie Blanchflower took over in goal for United. Wood eventually rejoined the game in an outfield position as a virtual passenger before returning to goal for the last seven minutes of the game.

Villa's victory gave them their seventh FA Cup title, a record at the time, but since passed by three clubs including Manchester United. Villa reached the final in2000, when they lost toChelsea, and in2015, when they lost toArsenal.

Six of the 11 United players who took to the field for United in this game died in theMunich air disaster nine months later. Two others were injured to such an extent that they never played again. The death of Nigel Sims in January 2018 left Peter McParland as the last surviving member of the winning team.

In December 2007,BBC Four'sTimeshift series screened a documentary,A Game of Two Eras, which compared the 1957 final with its2007 counterpart.^[6]
