КОММЕНТАРИИ: 1) Újpest had impressed a lot of people along the way to the final beating some good teams and building up quite a reputation. In the Quarter-Finals they beat competition favourites Leeds United with ease 3-0 on aggregate. On the eve of the final the Leeds manager Don Revie laughed off Newcastle's chances by saying «If they borrowed Billy Bremner, Bobby Charlton and George Best they (Newcastle) might stand a chance». Újpesti Dózsa reputation was not without merit as they had six Hungarian internationals in their team, and had won every game bar one in the competition so far. Newcastle took to the field for the first leg at St.James' Park in a confident mood in front of nearly 60,000 screaming Geordies. Bobby Moncur was the unlikely Newcastle hero scoring twice in the second half as home side ran out confortable 3-0 winners. His first was from a rebound as Wyn Davies shot was only parried by the Hungarian keeper, and his second came after a one-two with Benny Arentoft saw his low shot nestle into the back of the net. Jim Scott added a third to put Newcastle into a commanding position for the second leg in Hungary. 2) Újpesti Dózsa at the time came into this final with the reputation as the best team in Europe, with forward Bene rated one of the best strikers in Europe that season. Bizarrely, Newcastle captain Bob Moncur only scored 8 goals in his whole career and had not scored ever before the final. Yet, over the 2-legged final he scored 3 of his 8 career goals - a true captain for the big occasion. The first half of the first leg at St.James’s produced an edgy, nervous display from the home team and we went in 0-0 at half time feeling rather down but not yet out. Then captain Bob took charge in the second half banging in 2 goals with another from Jimmy Scott had us taking a 3 goal lead to Hungary and dreaming of a trophy. |
