Football / Entertainment : Classic FA Cup Finals From Top London Clubs Out Now On DVD

Leading sports DVD producer ILC Media has an impressive range of FA Cup Finals available on DVD, with exclusive rights to almost 50 FA Cup Finals. So if you’re looking for a classic cup final match, chances are we’ve got it! Here are just four of the classic finals out now on DVD.

Chelsea v Leeds 1970

The first time is always the sweetest, as Osgood and co triumphed over treble chasing Leeds United after the two teams had battled it out for over 240 minutes of absorbing football.

Relive it all over again in this specially produced programme featuring extended highlights of the first match and the full 120 minutes of the Old Trafford Replay.

Arsenal v Manchester United – 1979 FA Cup Final

Regarded as Wembley’s finest finale, this was the final where the best was definitely saved until last. With United competing in their third final of the late 70’s and Arsenal looking to avenge their shock defeat to Ipswich the previous year, the stage was set for a heavyweight showdown between two of the countries most prestigious teams in the very last final of the decade.

It was magnificent final to end an incredible decade, and now you can see it all over again, with the full match in its entirety and post-match interviews from the Wembley tunnel.

West Ham v Arsenal 1980 FA Cup final

This time around it was Second Division Hammer’s turn to be the underdogs against Terry Neill’s FA Cup holders Arsenal, making their record third successive final appearance.

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.

Relive the day all over again as the Hammers outgunned the mighty Gunners to achieve one of the most sensational Cup final victories in the history of the famous competition.

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City – 1981 FA Cup Final

The 1981 F.A. Cup became only the tenth final in history to finish in a draw, and to a replay it went on a damp Wednesday evening in April. But the fireworks were well and truly lit that night, as the nation was treated to a cracker, and a goal of sublime quality by Ricky Villa as Spurs clinched the F.A. Cup for the 6th time in their history.

Enjoy this unbelievable final once again in this specially produced programme featuring extended highlights of the first clash and the full uninterrupted 90 minutes of the first Wembley replay and all the post-match reaction.

These titles are all available at £9.99 RRP from all good DVD stockists
