From today's featured articleThe 1987 FA Cup Final was an association football match between Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur on 16 May 1987 at Wembley Stadium in London to determine the winner of the 1986–87 FA Cup. It was the third final for Tottenham Hotspur in seven years and Coventry's first domestic cup final. Both clubs recorded songs to commemorate reaching the final. With the game tied 2–2 at full time, the match went into extra time. The only goal of extra time was scored in its first period when a cross from Lloyd McGrath looped off Gary Mabbutt's left knee for an own goal, making the final score 3–2 to Coventry. The match is regarded by many as one of the greatest finals in the history of the competition, with BBC TV commentator John Motson calling it "the finest Cup Final I've had the pleasure of commentating on". The 1987 FA Cup remains Coventry's only major tournament victory. One of Coventry's fanzines is entitled Gary Mabbutt's Knee in commemoration of the deciding goal. ( Full article...)

The Hunting of the Snark is a nonsense poem by the English writer Lewis Carroll, telling the story of ten characters who cross the ocean to hunt a mysterious creature known as the Snark. The poem was published in 1876 with illustrations by Henry Holiday. This is the eighth plate from Holiday's illustrations, accompanying "Fit the Sixth: The Barrister's Dream". The Barrister, one of the crew members, sleeps and dreams of witnessing the trial of a pig accused of deserting its sty. The Snark is depicted in the foreground, acting as the defence barrister and dressed in robe and wig – the nearest to an illustration of the creature in the set. The Barrister is ultimately woken by the Bellman's bell ringing in his ear, as seen in the bottom left. Illustration credit: Henry Holiday; restored by Adam Cuerden
