Gordon Smith's gilt-edged miss, a cracker from Ray Wilkins and two memorable goals from Man United's captain marvel... BRYAN ROBSON on his side's epic FA Cup final win over Brighton 40 years ago as the Red Devils face the Seagulls at Wembley

Brighton and Manchester United are set to face off at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday afternoon - 40 years on from their epic clash in the final of the same competition in 1983.

On that occasion, the Seagulls - who were struggling at the bottom of Division One at the time - forced United to a replay after a 2-2 draw in the initial final, before Ron Atkinson's side won the second game 4-0.

Bryan Robson - who scored twice in the replay - told Mail Sport's Simon Jones all about United's triumph that helped them secure their fifth of what has since gone on to become 12 FA Cup titles.
