The only pre 1969 FA Cup Finals held in the ITV Sport Archive are 1962 (Burnley V Tottenham) and 1966 (Everton V Sheffield Wednesday). The '66 match is highlights only. It may be that some of the ITV regions have others from the period.

I did a bit of work on this topic during some work down time two years ago, and actually got to speak to a very helpful guy in the itv sport archive. What he told me was totally unexpected! I was told that itv held ALL cup finals from 1969 onwards, but prior to that there was no itv sport to speak of. Each region held its own sports archive. Up to 1969 the cup final was the responsibility of ABC weekend TV and was part of world of sport from 1965 onwards. Now here was the surprising bit, the guy could not tell me if any cup final footage before 1969 existed as there was huge amounts of footage that was not catalogued prior to 1969 and he did not know if any ABC footage was amongst that? ?. What I can tell you is that there is a lot of itv cup final highlights from the 1960s on the ITN source website , but it's mute unless you purchase footage. The ABC coverage of the 1968 final is held at the BFI . I understand that all the cup finals throughout the 1960s were covered by the bbc and are all represented in the bbc archive.
