The 1901 FA Cup Final was played at Crystal Palace between Tottenham Hotspur and Sheffield United—and the first FA Cup Final to be filmed by Pathé News.[1] The win was the first in a trend (which continued throughout the twentieth century) of Tottenham winning major trophies in years ending in "1". Tottenham Hotspur remain as the only non-League club to win the trophy.
