Charlie George vs Liverpool: FA Cup Final 1971

Video description:
Charlie George's famous performance in the 1971 FA Cup final against Bill Shankly's Liverpool at Wembley. Just days before, Arsenal had secured the league title at White Hart Lane and were on the verge of completing the first ever 'double' in Arsenal history, and the first FA Cup win for over 20 years.

Charlie George profile:
157 starts, 49 goals. That was the sum of Charlie George's time at Arsenal - hardly mindblowing - Kevin Campbell scored more goals for Arsenal than Charlie.So why was he voted the 9th greatest player in Arsenal's history?

Part of the reason is because Charlie did what every fan dreamed of; he grew up watching Arsenal on the terraces, and ended up scoring the winning goal in an FA Cup final. He was Arsenal through and through. And, as this video demonstrates, on his day Charlie George was a fantastic player - a good passer of the ball, fantastic shooting technique and with the frame of a traditional centre forward.

However Charlie also possessed some bad luck with injuries (sound familiar?) as well as having an outspoken personality - which under authoritarian managers, often caused friction. He only ever won 1 England cap (on being subbed off, he told the England manager to 'fuck off') and probably never fulfilled his amazing potential.

However he still had a great career, the pinnacle of which was this performance.
