FA Cup Final 1915

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1915 FA Cup Final took place on 24 April 1915 and was contested by Sheffield United and Chelsea. It was the last FA Cup final to be staged before competitive football was abandoned in Britain because of World War I, and was held at Old Trafford in Manchester to avoid disruption in London. Sheffield United won 3-0, with goals from James Simmons, Stanley Fazackerley and Joseph Kitchen. The match is often referred to as the Khaki Cup Final, owing to the large number of uniformed soldiers in attendance.
