| 1901 |
Tottenham Hotspur's first appearance
in the FA Cup final saw them travel to South London to be greeted by a crowd of
114,815 - a world record at the time. Not a bad crowd for a non-league club
!! It was the first time Spurs had played Sheffield United and it
was the opponents who took the lead, but on 13 minutes, Brown headed the
equaliser. It was Spurs who took the lead five minutes into the second
half, when Brown linked with Cameron and shot past William "Fatty"
Foulke. Coming towards the end of the match, a shot by United's Bennett
was half saved by Spurs goalie Clawley, who scrambled back to push the ball away
from the line. It hit Bennett as he followed up and went off for a
goal-kick. Clawley appealed for the place kick, Bennett appealed for the
corner and the referee awarded ... a goal !! Straight after the game, the
FA met to decide the venue for the replay and were intent on playing the replay
at Goodison Park, but Liverpool had a home game that day and felt that the size
of their gate would be affected. Therefore, Bolton's Burnden Park was
chosen to stage the match. See 1901 for more
details of the match. |
