FA Cup Final in 1962: Tottenham vs Burnley | Soccer History

On 5 May 1962, Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley FC met at Wembley Stadium for one of English football's most talked-about finals. Nicknamed "The Chessboard Final" for its cautious, tactical style, ...the match saw both sides play it safe — each waiting for the other to make the first wrong move.

Adding to the occasion, Queen Elizabeth II attended as guest of honour, watching from the Royal Box before presenting the trophy to the winning captain at full time — a moment that turned this final into a true piece of royal football history.
