Sorry, looked back at my old programmes & have to agree with you. Memory fades with age, found I still have ticket stub. Was at Highbury for the replay can still hear the noise to this day, people standing in the walkways unable to see.

No problem, my memory is shot to pieces most of the time these days! I remember queuing up all night for tickets to the cup game, and also went to the replay - Alan Ball in his poxy white boots!

@pauldeb58

I was at the game too, this clip is definitely from the 2-1 win in 1970/71 played on 29 August 1970.

I was also at the FA Cup game you mention, which was in the 72/73 season, and played on 17 March 1973.

The decisive factor is that Ron Harris played the ball through for Hollins - Harris didn't play in the 1973 game.

@hershambob Good old days! Was this the season when the Arsenal fans tried to come across the pitch at half time to take the shed or the season after when they won 2-1?
