1980 FA Cup Final West Ham v Arsenal Returning to Wembley for the second time in five years, this time around it was Second Division West Ham's turn to be the underdogs against Terry Neill's FA Cup holders Arsenal, who were making their record third successive final appearance.
In this, the 99th final, it took only 13 minutes for the Hammers to break the dead-lock, when Trevor Brooking was on-hand to head the ball past Pat Jennings in the Arsenal goal. And with a goal in the bag - West Ham United's astute manager John Lyall played all the right cards, and the Hammers simply out-foxed the Gunners in all areas.
On a day that Wembley basked in the May sunshine, West Ham United outshone Arsenal, and for the second time in five years the FA Cup headed back to the East End.
With the DVD featuring five special player profiles along with full details of the 1979-80 FA Cup run and post match interviews from the Wembley tunnel, this is the perfect way to relive all the drama all over again, as the Hammers emerged victorious.
