On this day #OTD 1973 @OVOArena Wembley #DCFC

On this day in 1973, we won the National Five-a-Side tournament at Wembley Arena beating Celtic 3-1 in the Final. Back in those days it was quite a prestigious thing to win as highlights were shown by the BBC. It's a trophy often overlooked from our Golden Age. #dcfc #dcfcfans 🏆
