Derby County were the winners, beating Charlton Athletic 4–1 after extra time in the final at Wembley, London.
For the only time in the history of the competition, all matches from the first round proper up to and including the sixth round were played over two legs, the first leg being played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. In the first and second rounds proper, the second leg was played on the following Saturday; from the third round onwards, it was played during the week following the first leg. If aggregate scores were level after 90 minutes of the second leg had been played, a replay would take place at a neutral venue.
