Broadcasting
Radio listeners around the nation could tune in to hear the match on the BBC light programme with commentary from Raymond Glendenning. However, only the second half of the match was televised by the BBC with commentary from Jimmy Jewell, his last cup final before his death the following year, and Kenneth Wolstenholme. The Television footage has since been lost.
