Paul Parker recalls beating Chelsea in the 1994 FA Cup final

• Alex Ferguson's team beat Chelsea to secure the Double

• Parker remembers Ferguson's rant that helped United turn the game around

By beating Chelsea at Wembley in 1994, United became the first team to win the double since Liverpool in 1986.

Former United defender Parker remembers the game: "We were quite fortunate to go in at half-time 0-0. Cue a fiery Ferguson half-time team talk.

"He was annoyed. We were reminded what we would achieve if we won that game and the status we would be seen in - being a Manchester United player and having a double behind you.

"He questioned us and how much we really wanted it. He asked whether we thought back-to-back titles was enough.

"Once we got that first goal, everything calmed down and we took control of the game after that."
