1908 FA Charity Shield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1908 FA Charity Shield was a football match played on 27 April 1908 between 1907-08 Football League winners Manchester United and 1907-08 Southern League champions Queens Park Rangers. The match was played at the neutral venue of Stamford Bridge, London, and ended as a 1–1 draw, goals coming from Billy Meredith for Manchester United and F. Cannon for Queens Park Rangers.
Since extra time was not played, and penalty shoot-outs did not exist in the early 1900s, the match went to a replay, also at Stamford Bridge. The replay was played four months after the original match, on 29 August 1908, and finished in a 4–0 victory for Manchester United, crowning them as the first ever Charity Shield winners. Sandy Turnbull scored a hat-trick for United, the other goal coming from George Wall.
