On the occasion of an all London FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea, I remember five memorable goals scored by London teams in the FA Cup.
Charlie George, 1971
Right foot thunder bolt
Past Clemence; hairy Charlie
Lays down on his back.
Alan Sunderland, 1979
Dribbling Brady run
Far post cross and long leg stretch;
Screaming afro perm.
Ricky Villa, 1981
Memory makes you
Think this run was longer; but he
Beats the same man twice.
Roberto Di Matteo, 1997
Running from his own
Half; Di Matteo has all
The time in the world.
Ray Parlour, 2002
Had a lot to do
Top corner from twenty yards;
Only Ray Parlour.
