In the latest in our series of Ipswich Town’s greatest games, we look back nearly 40 years to the 1978 FA Cup Final.

Saturday, May 6, 1978 is a date firmly imprinted into the hearts and minds of all Ipswich Town fans of a certain age.

East Anglian Daily Times: It's THAT moment - the most famous goal in Ipswich Town's entire history. Roger Osborne has just swung his left boot and the ball is on its way into the back of the Arsenal net, despite the best efforts of Pat Jennings - then one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Cue wild celebrations at the blue and white end of Wembley Stadium, and legendary status for Osborne, the unassuming local boy from Otley.It's THAT moment - the most famous goal in Ipswich Town's entire history.

The Gunners were overwhelming favourites, but Town dominated. They hit the woodwork three times through Paul Mariner and John Wark (twice), while Arsenal keeper Pat Jennings produced a wonder save to keep out a George Burley header.

The magic moment arrived in the 77th minute. Clive Woods gave the ball to David Geddis, he went past Sammy Nelson and whipped in a cross which Willie Young made a mess of clearing.
