MATCH PREVIEW
It became part of football folklore. Arsenal against Cardiff City in the 1927 FA Cup final, featuring the first ever Cup final radio commentary.
The Bluebirds became the first, and still only, team to take the trophy out of England. But the only goal of the game became a nightmarish legend among goalkeepers.
With 16 minutes left Scotsman Hugh Ferguson bobbled in a poor 25-yard daisy-cutter. Gunners keeper Dan Lewis, a Welshman of all things, let the ball slip out of his feeble grasp and under his left arm. It trickled towards the goal with the keeper turning to scoop it up, only to knock it into the net.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Image of Mark Lawrenson Mark Lawrenson Football analyst
"Arsene Wenger's side will be top going into December and, with the other teams around them stumbling, the Arsenal players must be thinking more and more that they have got a serious chance of winning the title with every week that goes by.
"This Gunners team is not perfect but they are going to win an awful lot of games because they have got so much attacking talent in midfield."
Read Lawro's full prediction and score
Arsenal's hierarchy blamed the sheen on Lewis' new Cup final jersey. From then on, Arsenal goalkeepers wore old, unwashed kit in subsequent finals.
You won't find Wojciech Szczesny taking any chances. His growing maturity and run of five clean sheets in his last six games are significant features of Arsenal's season to date.
Aaron Ramsey goes back to Cardiff as the Premier League's player of the season so far, and Jack Wilshere is bang on form. There are many reasons to be fearful if you're a Cardiff fan.
But let's not forget the league leaders had a Champions League match on Tuesday. We'd better also remember that Cardiff have beaten Manchester City at home, held Everton and Manchester United, and were unlucky to lose to Tottenham late on.
This is the first league meeting between the two since 1962. It was the year Decca Records turned down the Beatles and signed The Tremeloes. What a mistake to make!
Szczesny can't afford one here. Even in an old dirty kit he mustn't be left The Fool on the Hill as the Long and Winding Road takes another unpredictable Saturday turn.
