The 1972 Football League Cup Final took place on 4 March 1972 at Wembley Stadium and was contested by Chelsea and Stoke City. Chelsea went into the match as strong favourites having won the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in the previous two seasons, whereas Stoke were attempting to win their first major trophy. The result was a significant upset as Stoke won 2–1, with the 35-year-old George Eastham scoring the winning goal late on.
It was Stoke City's first major trophy, and to date the only major trophy of their history.
