BURNLEY

WELCOME TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE

The classic bar design scarf, measuring 143cm x 20cm and beautifully packaged in a branded presentation box, is manufactured by one of the oldest cashmere mills in Scotland.

Undoubtedly one of the world's most sumptuous items of clothing for the discerning football fan.

Cashmere wool is one of the most precious natural fibres known to man, and is characterized by its incredible softness and warmth without bulk. Harvested from cashmere goats in Mongolia, the fine underwool is carefully selected, with each goat annually producing enough wool for a single Savile Rogue scarf.

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley 1962 FA Cup Final

Returning to Wembley as cup holders, and facing League runners-up Burnley, Spurs were aiming to emulate Newcastle’s feat a decade earlier by winning the cup in successive seasons

Known sometimes as the “Chessboard Final” – the match developed into a fascinating battle of wills and tactics, as the two familiar adversaries locked horns once again, and Spurs struck an early blow through the brilliance of Greaves, who stopped deftly to swivel and place his shot past Blacklaw in the Burnley goal.

Burnley equalised shortly after the interval through Jimmy Robson, who had the distinction of scoring the 100th FA Cup final goal. But the Clarets joy was short-lived, as Booby Smith turned and fired Spurs back in front within a minute, and created his own piece of history, as the only player for the next forty years to score in successive finals.

With ten minutes remaining, the victory was sealed from the penalty spot, as Danny Blanchflower sent Blacklaw the wrong way, and the Cup belonged to Spurs for the fourth time.

The following season, Spurs became Britain’s first winners of a European trophy, but first see how they retained the FA Cup and paved their way for success on foreign soil as we bring you the full 90 minutes of this landmark final on DVD.
