The History Makers - West Ham 1980 FA Cup winners shirt, signed by 11!

One of the biggest upsets in the history of the game's most famous club knockout competition, West Ham's famous victory in the 1980 FA Cup final over Arsenal at Wembley was a true football fairytale that defied all of the pre-match predictions.

The Hammers were an old Division Two side going into the final while Arsenal were a top-flight outfit bursting with star names and had appeared in the previous two Wembley finals. Few people gave John Lyall's side any hope of upsetting the odds.

But West Ham, captained by Billy Bonds, refused to be overawed by their illustrious opponents and after just 13 minutes took a shock lead. Alan Devonshire surged down the wing, Stuart Pearson unleashed a shot across the face of the Arsenal goal and there was Trevor Brooking to calmly place his header past Pat Jennings.

For the rest of the match, the Gunners probed for an equaliser but the West Ham defence held firm and after 90 minutes of drama and tension, Bonds was on his way up the famous Wembley stairs to collect the cup from the Duchess of Kent.
