The referee was J. Sherlock. Bolton won 2–0, with a double by Nat Lofthouse, who scored the goals in the 3rd and 55th minutes.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/1321966.stm 1958 – Man Utd's Brave Dream 25 August 2007 10 May 2001 FA Cup BBC Sport United, who had lost the previous final to Aston Villa, had been devastated three months earlier by the Munich air disaster, and fielded only four crash survivors, along with several newcomers. Just two players featured in the United side from the previous year's final; six of them were among the dead (along with two others who had not played), two were injured to such an extent that they never played again, while another had not yet fully recovered from his injuries. The second Bolton goal was a source of considerable controversy as it resulted from the Manchester United goalkeeper Harry Gregg being bundled over the goal line by Lofthouse. Goalkeepers were, at that time, much less protected from physical contact with opponents. The resulting debate was one of the high-profile incidents that led eventually to increased protections for goalkeepers. Not one of Bolton's eleven players in the cup-winning team had cost the club a transfer fee. Five of them were full internationals. Only Nat Lofthouse and Doug Holden remained from the Bolton team that had lost to Blackpool in the Matthews Final five years earlier.1953 - The Matthews final https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/1321960.stm news.bbc.co.uk 10 May 2001 13 June 2014 Road to Wembley As First Division clubs, both teams entered the competition at the third round stage.
