Kevin Moran, the first man ever to be sent off in a FA Cup final
Kevin Moran, the first man ever to be sent off in a FA Cup final, is to receive his winners medal after all. The Manchester United defender became a celebrity in the worst possible fashion when the referee sent him off for a foul in the game against Everton. Manchester went on to win 1-0 in extra time, but Moran was waved away from the presentation ceremony and his medal was taken back. He is pictured with his manager Ron Atkinson at Heathrow Airport

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photo print, we witness a moment of redemption for Kevin Moran, the trailblazer who made history in the FA Cup final. As the first man ever to be sent off in such a prestigious match, Moran's journey was marked by both triumph and tribulation. Captured at Heathrow Airport in May 1985, Moran stands alongside his manager Ron Atkinson. The image exudes a mix of relief and pride as he finally receives the winners medal that had been unjustly denied to him during the presentation ceremony. Moran's fame stemmed from an unfortunate foul committed during Manchester United's intense battle against Everton. Despite being dismissed from the game, his team emerged victorious with a hard-fought 1-0 win in extra time. However, amidst their celebration and glory, Moran was cruelly excluded from receiving recognition for his contribution on that fateful day. This photograph encapsulates not only Moran's personal triumph but also serves as a reminder of how one incident can shape an individual's legacy. It immortalizes both his resilience and determination to rise above adversity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on Kevin Moran's remarkable story - one that reminds us that even after enduring setbacks and disappointments, there is always room for redemption and ultimate victory.
