Compton's Other Final — Arsenal's FA Cup, April 1950
Arsenal vs Liverpool
1950-04-29
On 29 April 1950 at Wembley, Denis Compton — already England's leading cricketer — won the FA Cup with Arsenal. He played the entire match on the left wing as Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-0, both goals scored by Reg Lewis. His brother Leslie played centre-half. Six weeks later Denis was again at Lord's. He remains one of the few sportsmen to have played a senior football final and a Test match in the same calendar year.
