2004 FA Cup Final Gary Lineker, with Alan Hansen, Peter Schmeichel and Michael Owen in the studio, and commentary from John Motson in his 25th FA Cup Final as lead commentator. The BBC also provided live radio coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live, presented by Mark Pougatch, with commentary from Alan Green and Mike Ingham, and analysis from Jimmy Armfield and Steve Claridge. Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll appeared to have earned his place in the team for the FA Cup final after a run of good performances between the end of March and mid-April 2004, conceding just two goals in five games, including
Brian Moore (commentator) from London for most of the tournament, before flying out to commentate on the final.

He retired as a commentator in 1998 after describing France's 1998 World Cup final victory on at the Stade de France against Brazil, but he continued to broadcast, presenting an interview programme for Sky Sports in 1999, and hosting programmes for BBC Radio Five Live and TalkSport in addition to his commentary
