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 will 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 pass 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 Bobby 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.
