Newcastle Win the FA Cup

Newcastle's Edwardian greats reached the FA Cup Final an amazing 5 times in 7 seasons but only won once.

At that time the Final was Crystal Palace and United just could not get a result there. Their solitary victory was against Second Division Barnsley and that was only achieved after a replay at Goodison Park. Shepherd grabbed both goals.

By the time The Magpies reached the Final again Wembley had taken over as the new venue having opened in the previous year.

The Novocastrians found it much more to their liking and two goals in the last eight minutes from Seymour and Harris were enough to kill off The Valiants.
