Encyclopedia
The 1993 FA Cup Final was contested by Arsenal
and Sheffield Wednesday
at Wembley. The original match, played on 15 May 1993 finished 1–1, with Arsenal winning the replay on 20 May; 2–1 after extra-time.
It was Arsenal's sixth success in the competition and their first for 14 years
, with the victory making them the first ever English side to achieve a domestic cup double.
It was Sheffield Wednesday's first appearance in the FA Cup final for 27 years
. They also reached the Football League Cup
final that season, also losing 2-1 to Arsenal (though without a replay), and have not appeared in a domestic cup final since, though they have appeared in the Football League Cup semi-finals twice since then.
The game is also notable for being the last appearance of veteran Arsenal defender David O'Leary
, who left shortly afterwards to join Leeds United
after an 18-year spell with the Gunners which had yielded 722 competitive games and six major trophies.
The kick-off for the replay was delayed by 30 minutes after an accident on the M1 motorway

only five weeks earlier, and in a league game a fortnight before the FA Cup Final. Arsenal took the lead in the 20th minute, when Ian Wright
headed in a cross. Sheffield Wednesday equalised in the 61st minute, when David Hirst
turned in a low drive, past the advancing Arsenal goalkeeper, David Seaman
.
opened the scoring for Arsenal, running onto a through ball to prod the ball past Chris Woods
, into the corner of the net. This was his fourth goal in FA Cup Finals at Wembley, just one behind the record-holder Ian Rush
. Wednesday attacked Arsenal in the second half, and their persistence paid off when Chris Waddle
's shot deflected off Arsenal defender Lee Dixon
into the net. The game went into extra time, and just when it seemed that the FA Cup Final would need to be decided on penalties, central defender Andy Linighan
rose highest from a Paul Merson
corner to head the ball goalwards. Goalkeeper Chris Woods
fumbled and Graham Hyde
could only help the ball into the top of the net. Linighan had played most of the game with a broken nose after Mark Bright
had struck him in the face with his elbow and fittingly, it was Bright who Linighan outjumped in order to score.
Arsenal had won the trophy for the first time since their famous 1979 triumph
over Manchester United.
, a match which Arsenal had won 2–1. It was also dubbed the 'longest' FA Cup final. It had not only gone to extra-time in the replay - a match which was delayed by thirty minutes - but was just one minute away from the first ever FA Cup final penalty shoot-out. It was also the last ever FA Cup final to go to a replay; from 1999 onwards, it was decided that all FA Cup finals would be decided on the day.
This was the first FA Cup final in which squad number
s had been used, having been trialled in the League Cup final. Players from both clubs retained the same numbers for the three matches. The system was fully adopted by the Premier League for the following season.
Steve Morrow
became the first player to receive a winner's medal before a cup final. He had scored the winning goal in the League Cup final, but suffered a broken arm in celebrations afterwards, and missed the subsequent presentation.
For Arsenal, David O'Leary
played his last two official matches after joining the club as an apprentice in 1973. His testimonial took place between the final and the replay, on 17 May 1993. During extra-time in the replay Alan Smith
received the only yellow card of his professional career. For Wednesday, John Harkes
became the first American
to play in an FA Cup final.
In league matches between the two clubs that season, Arsenal won the 29 August 1992 fixture 2–1 at home, whilst Wednesday won their home fixture, on 6 May 1993, by a 1–0 scoreline.
