The 1966 FA Cup Final was a football match played on 14 May 1966. It contested by Everton and Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley.

Everton came back from 2-0 down to win 3–2, with goals by Mike Trebilcock (2) and Derek Temple. Jim McCalliog and David Ford scored the Owls' goals. Temple's winner came after an unfortunate slip by Gerry Young. The ball squirmed under his foot, and Temple was able to run clear and slot the ball past goalkeeper Springett into the corner. It was the last time a team came from 2-0 down to win the FA Cup until Liverpool did against West Ham in 2006 although on that occasion the game finished 3-3 with Liverpool winning on penalties.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles both attended the match. One of the game's most memorable moments was Everton fan Eddie Kavanagh's lone pitch invasion which saw him pursued across the pitch by a policeman.^[1]
