Southampton in turn began to create chances ; Mick Channon was put through on goal before being denied by goalkeeper Alex Stepney. As extra time loomed, Southampton 's Bobby Stokes received Jim McCalliog 's pass and slotted the ball across Stepney and into the far corner to score a late winner and with it his side 's first major trophy. Match referee Clive Thomas, who was the last Welshman to referee the FA Cup Final, admitted in later years that the goal may have been offside.
