The only thing I can remember is a brilliant save from Bob Wilson.

I take it it wasn't televised?

Yep, Blatent foul on Goddard for the goal (Ray Kennedy I think) , Arsenal certainly lived up to their lucky tag that afternoon.

Question I have to ask you lot is

Was Goddard fouled?

[Medwayo]

Judge for yourself whether you think Goddard was fouled. 28mins and 50seconds in.

18 seconds in and this shows Peter Allen’s shot hitting the post. As previously said one of three times we hit the woodwork in the first half.

Thank you for the link.

Some amazing footage there. Football was way more exciting then I feel...could be due to the age I was watching the games at and my memory and perhaps false recollection playing tricks but I definitely prefer watching old re-runs of football on You Tube from that period than football today
