Wimbledon won 4-2 on the day and here they are with the cup. Remarkably during my autograph hunting days I've managed to get EVERY member of the team to sign this picture.
Match report from the 'News of the World'"
Wimbledon 4 Sutton United 2 (Empire Stadium, Wembley, 4th May 1963. Attendance: 45,000. Receipts £16,700)

In fact Sutton were the more polished side for most of the time and, though centre-half Terry Price was partially concussed by a nose injury, they hit back to equalise through Mickey Goodall and Trevor Bladon after Reynolds had put star-studded Wimbledon two up in the first eight minutes of the second half.
Reynolds was the undisputed hero but Wimbledon, with six internationals in their side, could be rated lucky to have pulled off this smash and grab victory in their third final. Sutton deserved a better fate at the first attempt and it might have been a different tale had Price escaped injury.
