Leeds United Ladies are hoping to follow in the footsteps of the victorious 1972 Leeds United FA Cup final team and beat Arsenal Ladies in the FA Women's Cup on Monday 1st May.

The final will take place at Millwall FC on 1st May, kick-off 1pm, and t is expected to attract a record crowd with more than 6,000 tickets already sold.

Leeds United Ladies are in their first ever FA Women's Cup Final and are looking to take some advice from legend Allan Clarke, who scored the famous winner against Arsenal in the 1972 cup final.

Allan Clarke will be offering a few words of advice as well as presenting the Ladies team with some lucky sock tags during half time at Leeds United's home game against Reading this Saturday. Both the 1972 FA Cup Final and the FA Women's Cup final trophies will also be on view during the presentation.

The 1972 team famously wore similar ‘lucky’ sock tags when they beat Arsenal. Leeds United Captain Natalie Preston said: "Anything that gives us an edge or extra bit of luck in the final is gratefully received. If the sock tags gave the 1972 team the extra luck they needed then I hope they will do the same thing for us.

“We know it will be a very tough game, but it's a one-off game in the cup final and we have enough quality players in the squad to go down there and cause an upset, we want to bring the trophy back to Leeds just like the Leeds United team of 1972.”

Leeds United Ladies face Arsenal Ladies on Monday 1st May at Millwall FC’s The Den, 1pm Kick Off. Tickets are available in advance, priced £3 adults and £1 concessions. Tickets are also available on the day priced £5 adults and £2.50 concessions.
