Leeds United beat Arsenal by the only goal of the match and thereby frustrated the Londoners' ambition to become the third club to return as Cup holders and win again for the second successive year, as Newcastle had done in 1952 and Tottenham in 1962.

Leeds were the better team all through. Their back four had no trouble in mastering the Arsenal attacks and obliterating the threat posed by strikers George and Radford. By contrast, the Leeds front runners, Jones and Clarke, continually harassed the Arsenal defence.

The Jones-Clarke combination produced a goal in the fifty third minute. Jones sent across a hard, shoulder high centre and 'Sniffer' Clarke headed powerfully past Barnett's left hand from fifteen yards.

A match began badly with a foul by Clarke on Ball in the first five seconds and the first of four bookings - McNab for bringing down Lorimer as early as the second minute.  Both sides had their moments. George's fierce volley cannoned back off the bar for Arsenal, and both Clarke and Lorimer struck the woodwork for Leeds.

It was United’s day though and Don Revie’s men collected the famous trophy for, so far, the one and only time in their history.
