[Football] Trivia - Who were the last team to......

[Brovion]

Next question. What was unusual about the 1980 and 1982 FA Cup Finals? (Again no Googling allowed)

They are the only ones in history where people actually know what happened to the money.

Goalscorers - Villa & Sunderland ?

Goalscorers - Villa & Sunderland ?

1980 was West Ham v Arsenal I think - with Brooking scoring the only goal?

Is it something to do with all-English or all-British teams, because didn't Villa not play because of the Falklands or something?

 

[Stato]

Nothing to do with Paul Allen? I remember him being the youngest player to play in the FA Cup Final and everyone going mad when Willie Young scythed him down. Is it that he was the youngest player to play in a Cup Final and then in 1982, his cousin Clive wasn't?

 

[Guy Fawkes]

No one close yet

Something to do with the kits worn by both teams? Both teams changed kits for sure in the 1982 final.

I'll give you that, all 4 teams wore their away kits

Something to do with the Allen family - Paul, Martin, Clive, Les, Uncle Tom Cobley?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Just going back to the title-winners who wore stripes, it's a British anomaly that we have so few striped clubs at the top end, isn't it? Think about the European clubs who regularly win their leagues - Milan, Inter, Juve, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Porto, Bayern Munich some seasons, Ajax, Eindhoven, Olympiacos, Gothenburg ...

My attempt at trivia.

Since its inception in 1872 only 3 teams have scored three goals in an FA Cup Final (excluding penalty shoot-outs) and not won the trophy that year . Name all 3.

I know West Ham did this in losing to Liverpool. Only one I can come up with.

Bolton in the Stanley Matthews Final.

Ahem.

Those aren't proper stripes. Just like 'pure white' what we are looking for here is constant thickness.
