Southampton have of course been in a few finals since then.
The Saints were FA Cup runners-up in 2002-03 and reached the final of this competition in 1978-79 and more recently in 2016-17 when they lost narrowly to Manchester United.

Newcastle have not played since the first leg a week ago, while Southampton were much-changed for Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup win over Blackpool.
Croatian defender Duje Caleta-Car is however available after suspension.
Southampton boss Nathan Jones is not concerned that the game is taking place in the final hours of the transfer window, which closes at 23:00 GMT.
"My role in terms of identification and affirmation of signings is all done," he said. "It's whether we can get deals done for the players we want.
"I'll have total focus on trying to get Southampton to Wembley."
The 1976 FA Cup is the only major trophy the Saints have won - the same year when Newcastle lost the League Cup final 2-1 to Manchester City.
