Arsenal 1970/71 Double Bibliography

During the 1970–71 English football season, Arsenal F.C. they became just the fourth side in history to win the coveted league and FA Cup double. up to that point.Having ended their 17-year trophy drought with victory over Anderlecht in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final the previous year, Arsenal started the campaign well, crushing Manchester United 4-0 in the first home game. It was a sign of things to come. For the first time in their history, Arsenal remained unbeaten at home for the entirety of the league campaign, losing just once their in all competitions-2-0 to Crystal Palace in the Football League Cup fourth round replay. 

The defence of the Fairs Cup ended with a quarter-final defeat to West Germans FC Koln on away goals, but the domestic campaign continued to inspire, with Stoke City seen off after a replay in the FA Cup semi-final in April, before the league season hit its summit on the final day of the season.  Nearest challengers Leeds United had already finished their season, standing one point clear of the Gunners. Thus, a win would clinch Arsenal the title, as would a 0-0 draw, as the goal average system was still being used. 

The setting was White Hart Lane, and the opposition was bitter local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, the last side to win the double, in the 1960-1961 season. The encounter was tense, but thankfully for Arsenal Ray Kennedy headed home a late winner, to win the league.

The Gunners travelled to Wembley to face Liverpool in an attempt to clinch the double. A goalless ninety minutes at Wembley meant extra-time was needed, and two minutes in Steve Heighway gave Liverpool the lead. However, Arsenal were quick to respond, Eddie Kelly equalising nine minutes later before Charlie George rocketed in a late winner to clinch the double
