What I'm after if anyone could help me is that I'm looking for information about the 1979 FA Cup Final Arsenal V Manchester United. The info I'm looking for is the squad line ups and who scored the goals.

If anyone could help I would be grateful as is info is for a special Arsenal fan.

May 12, 1979: FA Cup final, Wembley

Arsenal 3 Manchester United 2

One of the most memorable finals in living memory was actually an unremarkable affair for the first 85 minutes. Arsenal, through Frank Stapleton and Brian Talbot, had established a comfortable lead and seemed certain to collect the trophy. But dramatically, first Gordon McQueen struck for United, then Sammy McIlroy levelled, setting up what appeared to be an inevitable period of extra-time. Arsenal had other ideas and when Gary Bailey failed to cut out Graham Rix's cross, Alan Sunderland nipped in at the far post to seal an amazing win for the Gunners.
