The first game I ever took my younger brother to. He he was 13 and has been an avid Arsenal fan ever since! COYG ⚽⚽

This was my first ever match a week before my 9th birthday. I still have the red and white scarf I was given for the occasion. We still had a b&w television and bizarrely what struck me was the greeness of the pitch!

I remember going to Arsenal for that match. It all kicked off after the match by the coaches & as we made our way back to the motorway the coach got stoned & all our windows was smashed. It was freezing coming back to Walsall.

That trick shot by Willie Young to set up Stapleton was totally… Willie Young.  I was there. Ever present at home, away as often as possible. My first full season of attending and when they got to the Final I was convinced that I was their lucky charm. lol. Heartbroken at Wembley. Had to endure the embarrassment of traveling home to the other side of London on public transport, dressed in red and white.

I was there and still remember this day shame we did not take the half chances to make a closer match. No team changes in those days all the Arsenal stars on show but the 1933 result of the Saddlers victory that day is still one of the Best FA Cup shocks of all time if not the BIGGEST. Up The Saddlers..

I was a young  lad of 20 years of age at this game, it broke my heart being a black country lad and us getting a good hidding but that's life.

The under soil heating was on at £ 30 an hour  😂

Good example of the days when first division players moved down the divisions. Mick Bates,playing for Walsall a year after playing in the European Cup for Leeds. A good Saddlers team, but nerves seemed to get the better of them on the day, overrunning the ball in good positions. Arsenal adapting to the conditions much better.

It would not be allowed today.

A very good Arsenal team but perhaps one or weaknesses that prevented them from achieving greatness- why persist with Young, Price and Gatting?.. They should have bought big to establish a legacy like Liverpool did... Arsenal too tight financially..
