Cup Final jersey v Newcastle United, played at Wembley, 23rd April 1932, Bukta, long-sleeved with embroidered AFC 1932 monogrammed with football motif badge, white collar, two button neck closure, Bukta neck label bearing CB initials in black ink and PRESENTED TO A GOOD SPORTSMAN BY TOM WEBSTER neck label, un-numbered, bears discoloured white collar with staining, and wear Newcastle United defeated Arsenal 2-1. It became known as the "over the line" final when later published press photographs evidently showed that the ball had gone out of play before United's winger Jimmy Richardson crossed the ball for Jack Allen to cancel out Bob John's 15th minute strike for Arsenal. In the second half Allen scored again to seal victory for the Magpies. Provenance: Graham Budd Auctions, Lot 768, 21st & 22nd May 2018.
