Still makes me cry and gives me goosebumps to this day, my grandad, called Arthur as it goes;) passed away earlier that year, we all got on and screamed it round, I don’t remember anything after the last fence as I was sure he had won and I hit the floor and cried like a baby, great memories. RIP Champion x

Bless you. My grandad was named Arthur, died when I was 8 years old, long time ago. Only backed it cause of the name. Can admit myself there was tears when it won. Miss you grandad 😥😥

One for Arthur was brilliant that day, made more money on Saint are 50/1 ew, also got me the placepot up, never forget Davy russell pushing him up at the elbow, was delighted when he won the next two nationals on the mighty little tiger

I had a couple of quid each way on One For Arthur and did pretty well out of it as I recall. Brilliant horse. RIP. I also backed Corach Rambler this year, so I’ve been lucky. Years ago, before there was online betting, I sort of picked Corbiere to win, but my Dad, who sadly is no longer with us, had already been out to the betting shop and wouldn’t go out again. I enjoyed reminding him for years that Corbiere won 😂

Something similar with Mon Mome. I remember picking it and getting a milky bar for it while he got 100 quid. Now my dad keeps claiming he fancied it and it wasn't me. He's never fancied a 100/1 shot in his life, and he'd never put 1 quid on a horse he fancies in his life either, especially at those odds.

If you look closer there could have been 25 finishers but about 6 pulled up before the last or run in so 19 got round

Freddie didn't win the National. He came a very close 2nd to Jay Trump in 1965.
