3 minutes from final whistle to lifting the cup - my God I miss this simplicity.

When the FA Cup final meant something. You wouldn't move from your seat in front of the tele from 11.00 to 5.30.

It’s so true what they say.The older you get,the quicker time fly’s.I remember watching this game like it was yesterday.I seem to remember that Arsenal were going after the league,the FA cup and Cup winners Cup, and lost out on all three.Amazing just how much of this old FA cup final footage is surfacing on KZbin.No complaints...KEEP IT COMING!😸

It was good to see the extra stuff on this video with Michael Aspel and the chats with the players afterwards. I was a West Ham fan in a class full of Arsenal fans as I lived in Islington but was attracted to the claret and blue for some reason. I've just re-watched the whole thing and was great to see again after all these years.

Goodness the cup final was such an occasion in those days .. there is still some magic but nothing like it used to be. Fantastic coverage !

Years later, I had the good fortune to go to Wembley to watch the 1993 FA Cup Semi Final between Spurs and Arsenal. I got to see Paul Allen play live after his heroics at Wembley in 1980 alongside Brooking and Bonds, Lampard, Stewart, Devonshire and the rest of that glorious Hammer 's side.

He spoke with a subtle American twang which was the norm back then for radio DJs and some tv presenters who wanted to sound cool.

Woman at the start is Michelle Rocca, she presented the Eurovision in 1988 in Dublin. Could hardly understand a word she said in this clip tho.

Thank you so much for this! I am West Ham and was watching this in Perth Western Australia as a 15 year old with my brothers and a best mate who was Arsenal. Down here, we missed out on all the pre-match pageantry and colour because the old fart idiot producers at the ABC only chose to cross over to the London coverage when the players were walking out of the tunnel. This is brilliant! Cheers and c'mon you Irons!

SBS used to be worse with their FA Cup coverage - missing Abide with me and national anthems and crossing back to the studio as soon as the trophy was lifted - used to annoy me.

This is very good footage although slight correction to your title. This is predominantly taken from the BBC's rival programme, ITV's World of Sport. The titles at the very end were from Grandstand though. Watching that back, I wondered if Ian St John lumped a load of money on Arsenal to beat West Ham. For some strange reason, he looked absolutely dejected!

Remember everything about this day, my Dad went off to the game and being really jealous. Roasting hot day - as I was the next morning. I was 10 years old and after that nagged the life out of my Dad to take me to a game & that began the longest love affair of my life ⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
