On this day: Newcastle win the 1952 FA Cup

On this day in 1952 Newcastle United lifted the FA Cup at Wembley after overcoming Arsenal in the final.

The Magpies were the cup holders and had began the cup campaign looking to defend their silverware.

Their cup run saw them knock out Aston Villa, Tottenham, Swansea and Portsmouth.

They then beat Blackburn 2-1 in a semi-final replay after drawing the first game 0-0.

Arsenal were forced to play over 50 minutes with ten men after Walley Barnes was forced off injured. Substitutes for injured players were not brought in for another six years.

With six minutes left in the final, Chile international George Robledo scored the winning goal in front of 100,000 fans.

Newcastle went on to win the FA Cup again in 1955, beating Manchester City 3-1, although it remains their last major honour.

The Magpies haven't reached the Cup final since 1999, when they lost to Manchester United.

They had reached the final the year before that, losing to Arsenal.
