This iconic photograph captures one of the most controversial moments in FA Cup Final history: Alex Young's disallowed 'goal' for Everton against Sheffield Wednesday in 1966. In the heat of the action, Everton's Young, wearing the number 11 jersey, can be seen making a determined run towards the Sheffield Wednesday goal and beating the opposing goalkeeper, Ron Springett, to the ball. However, the drama unfolds as referee Jack Taylor, positioned to the left of the image, has his whistle in his mouth, signaling an infringement that denied Everton what would have been a crucial goal. The FA Cup Final of 1966, held at Wembley Stadium, was a tightly contested match between two determined teams. Everton, led by their star striker, were pushing for the equalizer against Sheffield Wednesday, who were defending their lead. The disallowed goal came in the second half, leaving Everton fans and players in disbelief. The decision sparked heated debates among fans, pundits, and even the press, with many believing that the goal should have stood. Despite the controversy, the FA Cup Final of 1966 went down in history as a memorable and exciting match. Sheffield Wednesday emerged as the victors, securing their place in the annals of football history. However, the disallowed goal remains a topic of discussion among Everton fans and football history enthusiasts, serving as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the beautiful game.
