Arsenal V Liverpool 1971 Fa Cup Final Dvd. Retro Football Shirts
Arsenal v Liverpool 1971 FA Cup Final Having all already clinched the league title, the Gunners headed for Wembley chasing that all elusive double. Facing what was to be the second of Bill Shankly’s great sides, it took extra time and a moment of class to separate these two giants of the English game. Regarded as one of the most enduring images of FA Cup final history, Charlie George lay flat on his back having clinched the winning goal deep in extra time, after both teams had endured a match of pulsating football and a hatful of missed chances. With the score line level at the end of ninety minutes, were Arsenal to rue their missed chances, as Kennedy, Armstrong and Radford all passed up opportunities, and were Liverpool now believing with the introduction of Thompson, that this could be their day. And it certainly did seem like being Liverpool’s day when Heighway drove the ball past Wilson from an acute angle, with only two minutes of extra-time played. But the willpower and perseverance that Arsenal had displayed all season once again stood them in good stead, as they dug deep to clinch the cup. First it was Graham who levelled, and then with eight minutes remaining, Charlie George struck an unstoppable twenty-yard shot, and cue the famous celebration. Arsenal celebrated and the Double was completed. It was a final that will never be forgotten, so own a piece of history in this specially produced programme.

Charles Buchans Arsenal Gift Book Retro Football Shirts Charles Buchan's Arsenal Gift Book After an introduction by Simon Inglis, editor of the Played in Britain series, Arsenal historian Jon Spurling sets the scene: the year is 1951, Highbury Stadium, its wartime bomb damage now patched up, faces a difficult decade. The club's 1930s glamour is rapidly fading. Arsenal stars tell Charles Buchan about life at post war Arsenal. Buchan himself was an Arsenal star in the 1920s and tells some grand tales too. As the years go by the hairstyles change, the shirts and boots are more streamlined, the stars come and go - Joe Mercer, Wally Barnes, Dennis Crompton, Jack Kelsey, Tommy Lawton, Tommy Docherty, George Graham, Frank McLintock, Bob Wilson, John Radford, George Armstrong...
