On 20 October 1990 Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford to play Manchester United in the First Division of the Football League. Anders Limpar put Arsenal 1-0 up but the talking point of the game (and the season) was when Brian McClair gave Nigel Winterburn a good kicking as Winterburn was on the ground. This resulted in a mass brawl / a bit of handbags* which saw Arsenal deducted 2 points and United 1 point. Arsenal went on to win the League despite the points deduction.
Bad feelings amongst the clubs perpetuated for many years after this.
There is also a short interview with Lee Dixon at the end of the clip.
