the credit they have deserved. It looks as though they
have never been forgiven for the defensive over-
robust methods they employed on their return to the
First Division.
That Leeds have played with tremendous skill and
vision for the past three years has been largely
overlooked. It was one of the saddest sporting stories
of all time when they finished up with nothing after
bravely going for the treble of League, FA Cup and
European Cup in season 1969-70. It's been a long
hard struggle for Revie and his dedicated band of
players to win any friends outside Eiland Road.
On the other side of the coin there is the fallible
assumptiongrowing too widespread for comfort
that teams like Manchester United and West Ham
are never involved in a dull match.
What is the remedy for this unfortunate situation
When will Arsenal, Leeds and teams in their "cate
gory" receive more than back-handed compliments
for their football and achievements The answer
must lie in more flexible and imaginative reporting.
I suggest that the present high standard of journalism
will improve even more if sports writers could be
persuaded to treat every game on its merit and not be
swayed by reputations.

COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS

Continued from page 7
To mark what surely must rank as the greatest achievement in the history of Arsenal F.C. when winning both the
F.A. Cup and League Championship during 1970/71, a leading firm of medallists were commissioned to strike a
Commemorative Medal in both 92.5 Sterling Silver and in Bronze. Both 40mm in size.
Each Silver Medal will be individually numbered and the purchasers name will be recorded against his or her
number. Medal No. 1 will be presented to and retained by Arsenal, as a token of recognition for the honours gained.
In order to give these medals a greater collector and investment value it has been decided to restrict the issue of
Silver medals to 1,000 only, after which the die will be destroyed.
In order to avoid disappointment in this issue, which cannot be repeated, we strongly advise that your application
be sent without delay.
All Silver Medals will be dispatched in a presentation box which will also contain a certificate insert bearing
Holders name and Medal number, these will be forwarded by registered post in numerical rotation on orders received.
Bronze Medals (restricted issue) in transparent sachet, also dispatched registered post.
92.5 STERLING SILVER (1000 only) Presentation Boxed £10.25 including postage. BRONZE (restricted
issue) in Sachet, £2.25 including postage.
