The 1982 FA Cup final was the 101st final of the FA Cup and took place on 22 May 1982 at Wembley Stadium. It was contested between Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers.
Tottenham were the cup holders and were hot favourites, while QPR had narrowly missed out on promotion from the Second Division.
It would be the last final involving a team from outside the top flight for ten years.
Tottenham's victory meant that they had then won the FA Cup seven times – matching the record set by Aston Villa 25 years earlier. It also preserved their unbeaten record in FA Cup finals.
Tottenham's Argentinian players Ricky Villa and Osvaldo Ardiles did not play due to the Falklands War.[1] Ardiles was away on international duty and due to the war was unable to return to London, so Tottenham loaned him to French club Paris Saint-Germain. Villa said he decided not to play in the final because of the ongoing Falklands War.[2]
