On this day in 1952, Newcastle United beat Arsenal in the final to win the FA Cup for the second year running.
Newcastle had beaten Blackpool in the 1951 final to win their fourth FA Cup title. Arsenal were crowned champions in 1950 by beating Liverpool in the final.
The Magpies had gotten the better of Arsenal in the league that season by winning one and drawing the other fixture. Played in front of a 100,000 fans at Wembley, the game took a sad turn in the 35th minute after Gunners right back Wally Barnes was forced to go off the pitch with a knee injury.
