That was the 1980 FA cup final, I was there courtesy of my Gooner dad. A 17 year old Paul Allen was through on goal and Willie Young just scythed him down and if I remember correctly, did not even get booked.

RIP Willie.

I used to support West Ham when I was 10 and that’s one of the reasons I still dislike Arsenal.

RIP Willie

I think that might have been one of the incidents that got Jimmy Hill on his high horse about a red card for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Made the tackle that brought into parlance "the professional foul" and changed the laws around red card & sending off offences.

RIP.
