FA Cup 4th Round Games 27/28/29/30 Jan

Trevor Brooking, diving header. Don't remember him getting all that many headed goals in his career. Not a bad occasion to get one, mind!

Just going from memory ( no google) ,but I think Paul Allen ( cousin of Clive) was brought down by an Arsenal player and should have had a penalty.
But even in those long ago days, teams like Arsenal ( a football institution you know) had the refs in their pocket and they got away with it.
Fortunately West Ham went onto win the game .

Willie Young. Pretty much the first high profile incident that would eventually lead to a change of the law regarding ‘denying a goal scoring opportunity’

Having been at the game with my Arsenal supporting dad, as I recall West Ham were kicking lumps out of Arsenal for much of the match.

I'd have had a heart attack if we'd had to wait for a decision on 93:20.

There'd be a quite a lot fewer FOCs going to games now that's for sure!

I have nightmares about that.
