Have you heard about Bedford's FA Cup history?
In the 1955–56 season the Eagles started on the first of their notable cup runs which would see them achieve national fame as "Giant Killers". This included a number of wins over league opposition including Watford 3–2, Norwich City 2–4, Newcastle United 1–2, Exeter City 1–2, Brighton & Hove Albion 2–1. and Oxford United 1–0. Possibly their greatest achievement was to draw 2–2 with Arsenal at Highbury watched by a crowd of over 55,000 in 1955–56 season. The Eagles nearly caused a major shock in the replay leading 1–0 until 4 minutes from time before going down 1–2 after extra time, having had two goals disallowed for offside. Same old "lucky" Arsenal then!!
Always good to come across our old friend "Urban Decay" early doors.
