Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: FA Cup Final at Wembley - in Colour. DESCRIPTION: Way down South, at Wembley, 100,000 packed themselves into the former British Empire Exhibition Stadium of 1924. This FA Cup Final is a very special one, as it is a hundred years since it was first held. The Queen and Royal Family attended the Centenary Match, and watched a classy Leeds United team beat Arsenal by one goal. Surprising, in view of the fact that the Gunners had it all over the lads from Yorkshire, but after 30 minutes, Arsenal played just like the last England team and just couldn’t play together as a team. This is the first FA Cup win for Leeds. SHOTLIST: GV Leeds supporters cheering zoom out both teams walking through guard of honour of banners representing football centenary.
