Sam shared a photo of the trophy and wrote next to it: ‘I’m going to sleep with the 1980 FA Cup by my bed. It has to become a dress as the greatest wedding gift of all time.’
The 1980 FA Cup final was contested by West Ham United and Arsenal at Wembley. West Ham won with one goal, scored by Trevor Brooking.

F1 heiress Petra and her businessman beau tied the knot in front of family and some of their famous friends at 5pm on Saturday, while a party insider also revealed that children were welcome at the lavish Thu.
Sam first confirmed the news that he was married by sharing a photo of his wedding ring while donning a nice black suit, writing in the caption, “I can’t believe I’m a married man!”
Hours before making his way to his Instagram story, he traveled to the ceremony where he looked neat in his suit paired with soft sunglasses.

Sam also shared a photo with his ushers — including his new wife’s brother-in-law, Jay Rutland — and shared another glimpse of his wedding breakfast menu.
Guests could choose from pomodoro pasta or risotto and sea bass fillet or milanese chicken, before being served an ice cream dessert and coffee. The food came from Mrs Ecclestone’s favorite restaurant, C in Mayfair.
Those in attendance gathered in the landscaped gardens of the Georgian mansion – the largest in London’s Kensington and Chelsea – to watch the ceremony and the newlyweds were greeted with applause and cheers as they took their vows to the beat of a string quartet.

Friends described the day as ‘small and intimate’ – an intentional contrast to Petra’s ostentatious £12 million wedding to her first husband James Stunt in Italy in August 2011.
Tamara delivered an emotional speech, greeting her sister as her best friend and sharing anecdotes from her childhood for the amusement of the guests.
Tycoon Mr Ecclestone, 91, who learned last week he would be charged with tax fraud, was not seen entering the property, but friends said he had given his daughter away.
