A Historic Moment at Wembley: The Graf Zeppelin Hovers Above the FA Cup Final of 1930 This photograph, taken on the 25th of May, 1930, captures a unique moment in the history of both football and aviation. The image shows Wembley Stadium, the iconic home of English football, playing host to the FA Cup Final between Huddersfield Town and Arsenal. The excitement in the air is palpable as the two teams prepare to battle it out for the coveted trophy. However, the scene is not typical of a regular FA Cup Final. In the sky above Wembley, the imposing figure of the Graf Zeppelin can be seen, casting a long shadow over the football ground. This German airship, a marvel of engineering and innovation at the time, had created quite a stir as it made its way across Europe. Reports suggest that the Graf Zeppelin kept very low over the ground, much to the disconcert of both the players and the spectators. The deafening roar of its engines was a stark contrast to the hushed anticipation that usually surrounds such a significant sporting event. Despite the unexpected interruption, Arsenal managed to emerge victorious, winning the match 2-0. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of both football and aviation, two industries that have captivated the world for generations. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of a time when the impossible seemed possible, and the future was filled with endless possibilities.
