Description: | Arsenal football club supporters prepare to make their way home from Wembley stadium after being defeated in the F.A. Cup final. Arsenal lost 1-0 to Ipswich after Roger Osborne scored the winning goal. Sir Bobby Robson, Ipswich Town's manager, said 'The F.A. Cup final is the greatest single match outside the World Cup final - and it's ours'.
Arsenal had won the F.A. Cup four times previously. They went on to win the trophy a fifth time the following year by beating Manchester United.
Barry Lewis photographed the mass departure of the supporters as part of a commission by the Museum of London. His work resulted in the Coming and Going exhibition in 1979 that documented commuting London. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Barry Lewis, www.barrylewisphotography.com | Subjects: | Sport | Temporal: | 1978 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
