We secured our first league championship for 18 years with a final-match victory at the home of north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Bertie Mee’s Gunners went into the match knowing only a victory, or a goalless draw, would be enough to snatch the title from Leeds United.
The match was originally due to be played on the date of the FA Cup semi-final, but had to be rearranged, due to our participation in the cup, to the Monday night of cup final week.
Leeds had already completed their fixture list, and were a point ahead of us.
