The FA Cup is the world's oldest football competition and to this day remains the most iconic tournament in the world, watched by millions of fans across the globe every year. First held in the 1871-1872 season, the first ever final was staged in London at the Kennington Oval and saw the Wanderers beat the Royal Engineers 1-0 but it was to be 51 years later when the competition abandoned its nomadic existence and found a permanent home at Wembley that it truly gained its iconic status. The first final at Wembley came in 1923 when Bolton overcame West Ham 2-0 and for the next 77 years, the famous north London venue came to life every May for the final. The final showcase game before the old Wembley and its legendary Twin Towers were demolished to make way for the new stadium came in 2000 when Chelsea beat Aston Villa 1-0. One of the most naturally gifted and prolific strikers of any era, Jimmy Greaves was born to score goals and in an iconic career that spanned three glorious decades, that is exactly what he did with an unerring regularity for club and country. Greaves was simply sensational in front of goal and from the moment he marked his debut for Chelsea as a 17-year-old in 1957 with a goal, it was obvious he was destined for great things. He spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge and scored an incredible 124 times in just 157 appearances. It was, however, in the famous white of Tottenham Hotspur that he was to truly establish himself as one of the game's greats. Signed by Bill Nicholson in 1961 after a brief and unhappy sojourn in Italy with AC Milan, Greaves found his spiritual home at White Hart Lane and his arrival in north London was the beginning of a nine-year love affair between the player and the club. The striker lit up the old First Division with Spurs, finishing the league's top scorer in four separate seasons and his goals helped the club to lift the FA Cup in 1962 and 1967. In 1963, he was part of the Tottenham team who became the first British side to lift a European trophy after they famously beat Atletico Madrid 5-1 in the final of the Cup Winners' Cup. He left Spurs aged 30 in 1970 having rewritten the club's record books. In total, he scored a breathtaking 266 goals in 379 games for the Lilywhites and is still widely regarded as the greatest striker in Tottenham's illustrious history. Greaves was even more prolific in the white of England. He marked his international debut against Peru in 1959 with a goal and over the next eight years he played times for his country and scored 44 times. He is third on the all-time England goalscorers list behind Bobby Charlton and Gary Lineker but his goals per game ratio remains superior to both. Injury robbed him of the chance to play in the 1966 World Cup final but his impact on the international stage was undimmed by the cruel twist of fate and he will forever be remembered as one of England's greatest ever strikers. Own a piece of sporting history The famous old Wembley and its iconic Twin Towers were the spiritual home of the FA Cup final for 77 glorious years before the diggers moved in 2000 and this superb book commemorates the great games that unfolded in the stadium. A unique piece of FA Cup memorabilia, the book is compiled by respected statistician Glen Isherwood and is essential reading for football fans everywhere.
