1968–69 Arsenal F.C. season

Arsenal reached the final of the League Cup, losing 3-1 to Swindon Town in extra time.

It kickstarted their best start to a season in twenty years, going eleven games unbeaten until a defeat at Elland Road.

Arsenal had showed their mettle in the semifinals against Tottenham with Radford scoring a crucial goal in the last minutes of the encounter at Highbury.

Wembley was in poor condition due to the International Horse of the Year Show, compounded by heavy rainfall.

Don Rogers scored twice for Swindon in extra time and Arsenal lost their second League Cup final in two years.
