Watford 3rd | Coventry City 1st (24)

Watford’s largest post-war crowd provide a cup-tie atmosphere with 6,000 City fans in vocal form. Both centre-halves have blinders. Young Irish ‘keeper Pat Jennings saves brilliantly from Humphries and Rees as City pile on the heat. Meeson is beaten by a soft goal for a fair result.
