Great moment of triumph: Coventry City's Dave Bennett and Keith Houchen celebrate their FA Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on May 16,1987. In one of the most memorable FA Cup finals in English football history, Coventry City defied the odds to secure a stunning 3-2 victory against the formidable Tottenham Hotspur team. The image captures the pure elation on the faces of two of Coventry City's goal scorers, Dave Bennett (left) and Keith Houchen, as they lift the FA Cup aloft, basking in the glory of their historic achievement. The crowd roars in the background, adding to the electric atmosphere of the moment. The FA Cup final of 1987 was a turning point for Coventry City, who had only been promoted to the First Division the previous season. The team, led by manager Bobby Gould, had defied expectations and reached the final, where they faced a Tottenham Hotspur side that was considered one of the best in the league at the time. Despite being the underdogs, Coventry City took an early lead through a goal from Houchen, but Tottenham equalized before half-time. The second half saw a flurry of goals, with Bennett scoring the winner in the 82nd minute, and Gary Mabbutt equalizing for Tottenham just two minutes later. However, Coventry City held on to secure a famous victory, with Houchen scoring the decisive goal in extra time to secure a 3-2 win. This iconic photo encapsulates the spirit of the FA Cup and the magic of football, with two jubilant players celebrating a hard-fought victory against all odds. It is a moment that will forever be etched in the memory of Coventry City fans and English football history.
