Crazy Gang heroics, Hurst's hat-trick and Villa's magic - the best games played at the old Wembley

The original Wembley Stadium was one of the most iconic venues in the world and played host to some timeless classics.

On this day in 1923, Wembley hosted its first ever match and to mark the occasion we delved back through the archives to pick out five of the best games to be played at the home of English football.

Take a look at our selection below.

CRAZY GANG SHOCK REDS IN '88 FA CUP FINAL

A clash of styles. Wimbledon's unfancied 'Crazy Gang' up against the 'Culture Club' of Liverpool – English football's dominant side of the 1980s, who were crowned Division One Champions in 1988. Wimbledon had completed two seasons in the top division and were only elected to the Football League 11 years earlier. But Lawrie Sanchez headed in Dennis Wise's free-kick and Dave Beasant became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in a Wembley FA Cup final as Wimbledon ripped up the script in one of the biggest upsets in the competition's illustrious history.

HUGHES CLIPS EAGLES' WINGS IN EXTRA TIME

Just two years later in the 1990 FA Cup final, Crystal Palace were seven minutes from glory in a harum-scarum affair. Bryan Robson and Mark Hughes had cancelled out Gary O'Reilly's 19th-minute opener only for Ian Wright's equaliser to force extra time. Wright had been out for eight weeks with a broken leg that saw him miss the semi-final and his second goal early in the additional period had the Eagles' fans dreaming. But Hughes completed his own brace in the 113th minute to herald a replay, which United won 1-0 thanks to Lee Martin. It was the first trophy of Alex Ferguson's Red Devils tenure…the rest is history.

BUSBY BABES DOWN BENFICA

It had been 10 years since the tragic Munich air disaster, which claimed the lives of 23 people including eight United players. So, it was a particularly poignant victory for Matt Busby and his celebrated team, who defeated Benfica 4-1 in the 1968 European Cup final. With the scores at 1-1 after regulation time, George Best and Brian Kidd were on target before Bobby Charlton's second of the game saw United become the first English team to win the European Cup.

VILLA'S MAGIC SEES SPURS PAST MAN CITY

There was nothing to split Tottenham and Manchester City in a 1-1 draw the first time around in the 1981 FA Cup final – City's Tommy Hutchinson scoring at both ends - but the replay is best remembered for one of the greatest goals in Wembley history from Argentine wizard Ricky Villa. Villa had already opened the scoring and Garth Crooks equalised for Spurs after Steve MacKenzie scintillating volley and Kevin Reeves' penalty put City ahead. With 14 minutes remaining, Villa waltzed his way through a tired City defence and coolly slotted home to win the cup for Spurs in a 3-2 thriller.

HURST'S HAT-TRICK SEALS ENGLAND'S FINEST HOUR

"And here comes Hurst. He's got...some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over…it is now!" The immortal words uttered by Kenneth Wolstenholme described the moment when England put the finishing touches on a famous 4-2 extra-time victory over West Germany to win the World Cup on home soil. Geoff Hurst was the hero with a hat-trick, albeit there was a touch of controversy about his second and England's third. Alas, goal-line technology was more than half a century away. There was nothing controversial about his emphatic fourth in the final minute of extra time, though, clattered deliriously into the top corner.

England 1-1 Brazil (4-2 pens): Kelly scores another Wembley winner to seal Finalissima triumph

Ella Toone finished off a slick first-half move to give the Lionesses a deserve lead in the showdown between the European champions and the Copa America Femenina winners.

Brazil were the better side after the break and Andressa Alves capitalised on a stoppage-time mistake from goalkeeper Mary Earps to force spot-kicks.

England were not to be denied, though, as Georgia Stanway, Rachel Daly, Alex Greenwood and Kelly – who scored the winner in the Euro 2022 final against Germany at the same venue - converted from 12 yards out.

Earps denied Tamires before captain Rafaelle Souza rattled the crossbar as Brazil endured shootout agony in front of a huge crowd of 83.132.

The marauding Lucy Bronze caused the Canarinhas all sorts of problems in the first half and she played a big part in the opening goal in the 23rd minute.

Bronze played a one-two with Stanway before picking out Toone, who slotted home with her right foot from inside the penalty area in the 23rd minute as Brazil were cut open by England's sharp passing and movement.

Lauren James had a goal disallowed for offside with the Euro 2022 winners firmly on top, but it was a different story following the interval.

England gave Brazil every opportunity to get back into the game with a string of mistakes, one of which resulted in Earps palming a shot from Geyse high into the air and against the top of the crossbar.

Pia Sundhage's side continued to probe and they were rewarded when Earps spilled a cross from the right to gift Andressa an equaliser with time running out. 

With no extra time, England recovered from that setback to come out on top in the shootout, Toone the only Lionesses player who was unable to find the back of the net with her penalty before Kelly drilled in the winner to make it 30 games without defeat under Sarina Wiegman.

England suffer first loss under Wiegman as 30-game unbeaten run ended by Australia

The Lionesses headed into the game on a 30-match unbeaten run, one that has seen them win Euro 2022 as well as the Finalissima against Brazil last week.

But a below-par display saw their streak ended at the Brentford Community Stadium, as an uncharacteristic mistake from captain Leah Williamson allowed Kerr to nip in and open the scoring by lifting the ball over Mary Earps and in.

Grant then doubled her team's lead, arriving at the back post to meet Kerr's deep cross before her header towards goal was deflected by Williamson, completely wrong-footing Earps and sealing victory for Australia.

The upset defeat is not ideal preparation for England as they look ahead to the upcoming World Cup, hosted by the team they just lost to, which is now just 100 days away.

Having suffered her first defeat during her England tenure, Wiegman was at a loss to explain why her team played so poorly, telling ITV4: "I don't have the reason.

"We spoke at half-time that we need to be quicker, have energy, stretch them and run behind. At other times we lost the ball a little quickly. The reasons for that, I have to think about a little longer.

"This is the first time we've lost, but we always learn. We see things done well and things we have to do better. We have to improve to be at our best at the World Cup. Every game is for learning, and this is a big one."

Wiegman 'not worried' about World Cup preparation despite England's unbeaten streak ending

The Lionesses went into the friendly on a 30-match unbeaten run, but lost 2-0 at the Brentford Community Stadium on Tuesday thanks to goals from Sam Kerr and Charlotte Grant.

It came just days after the European champions won the first ever women's Finalissima against Brazil on penalties, but Wiegman is not concerned as England prepare for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which gets underway in July.

"I'm not worried. I don't worry very quickly," she said after the game. "We know we have to be at our top level and that's when we go into the World Cup too.

"Every game we get some warnings – against Brazil we got some warnings in the Finalissima. We know where we want to go to and what we have to do.

"I don't think we're losing momentum, I think it's building. There's 100 days to go and everyone's really excited to go to Australia and this is just a very big learning moment for us that we need to get to a higher level to win these games."

On losing the undefeated streak, Wiegman added: "I haven't been focused on that ever. We just want to win every game and you remind us all of the time [about the unbeaten run] but we don't talk about that in our camp.

"We talk about the next game and we want to improve every game and try to adapt to the opponent.

"I would've loved to have had a 31st win but sometimes you win and sometimes you lose."

Captain Leah Williamson saw a mistake punished by Kerr to open the scoring, and she told ITV: "Yeah. That first goal probably made it worse for me than everybody else but the whole team feels really, really rubbish about losing. It hurts."

She added: "[It's] absolutely not a setback [before the World Cup]. Sometimes you have to take blessings in disguise and I think maybe that's not the worst thing that could've happened to us.

"We wanted to learn this whole time, we wanted to be pushed to our limits and we need to take it up a new level.

"In the past, we won those games, we turned them around but actually tonight to lose it gives you a bit of fire."
