The 1970's finals were rapidly becoming the decade of shocks, and the 1978 final, somewhat unfairly, went down as another major turn-up, as Ipswich put a disappointing league campaign behind them, shrugged off the underdog tag and took the match to Arsenal. Despite a season of struggle, Ipswich boss Bobby Robson boasted a side which had finished the previous year in third place in the league, and on their day, were more than a match for any side, and so it proved in their first ever Cup final appearance. Roger Osborne's over-enthusiastic celebration caused him to faint, but few minded as the FA Cup headed to Suffolk for the very first time, and now own the final for the very first time on DVD, with all the post match reaction from Ipswich camp as it happened on the day.
Trailer footage cleared by The FA
