[edit] Background
The 1930 Final was the first cup final in which both teams entered the pitch side-by-side, in honour of Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman, who had also managed Huddersfield in the 1920s.
[edit] Zeppelin fly-by
The 1930 FA Cup Final is remembered for the sinister image of the Graf Zeppelin looming over the stadium during the first half. The Zeppelin was, at the time, the largest airship ever and was around 776ft in length.
