1967 Football League Cup Final
- 1967 Football League Cup Final
The 1967 Football League Cup Final took place on 4 March 1967 at Wembley Stadium. It was the seventh final and the first to be played at Wembley. It was contested between Queens Park Rangers of the Third Division and West Bromwich Albion of the First Division.
West Brom were hot favourites to win, led by centre forward Jeff Astle. It was QPR's first ever appearance at Wembley; their star man was Rodney Marsh.
West Brom started strongly with former QPR winger Clive Clark scoring twice to give them a 2-0 half time lead. In a fairy tale second half, the underdogs stormed back. First Roger Morgan scored with a header, then Rodney Marsh went on a mazy run, eluding tackles, and shot in off the post past keeper Dick Sheppard. In the closing minutes, QPR centre-half Ron Hunt went on a forward run and as he challenged the keeper for the ball it ran loose to Mark Lazarus to score the winning goal. Mike Keen lifted the cup to thousands of cheering Rangers fans.
This was the first final to be decided over a single game, the 6 previous finals were contested over two legs.
