More FA Cup Trivia

[maxinio]

In the build up to the FA Cup against Carshalton, not forgetting Northwood, a few questions, please keep this thread for answers only thanks.

 

1) What was significant about the 1973 final Leeds v Sunderland that hasn't happened since?

 

Get that correct and then I have another.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Was it that Sunderland were a Division 2 side and won the FA cup?

[maxinio]

So were West Ham in 1980, sorry

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Was it the Attendance of 100,000 people.

[maxinio]

Nope sorry, you're cold

[Ian_W]

It was between Leeds & Sunderland and they have not met in the final since

[maxinio]

You could say that about most finals, nothing to do with the teams

[Rob_the_Saint]

They used an orange coloured ball.

[maxinio]

Excellent Rob, well done

2) Easy this one, who was Billie?

[Rob_the_Saint]

Sounds like a 'goat' question to me. Was it the mascot of the band that came on at half-time?

 

Try this one Maxi. What did West Ham do in the FA Cup final in 1975 that has never been done since?

It was the name of the white horse from the self titled cup final between Bolton and West Ham in 1923 the first to be played at Wembley.

[Little Miss Urchin]

We also won it in 1980 (a glorious year topped off by the birth of the righteous one).

and yes I know the Irons fielded an all English team, did it in 64 as well!!

Question no 3 and I shant be back till Thurs cos goin to Northos 2mrw, and Daggers 4 Cptl Lgue on Wed

 

Which was the last team to travel to an FA Cup Final by any other method than the tradi coach ?

 

 

 

[Rob_the_Saint]

I know Brighton travelled up to Wembley by helicopter in 1983, not sure if that's the latest though.

[maxinio]

Blimey I thought I had yer 4 2 days, well done Rob

 

Ok Ok

 

Next one:

 

FA Cup 3rd round, who scored with his team's first kick of the ball and how ?

[YELLOW]

I think I remember this one. The opposition team kicked off passed it all the way back to the keeper who promptly missed his kick and the forward ran in to put the ball in the net. I can't for the life of me recall who scored it, but I can see the look on the keeper's face now and I think Barry Davies was doing the commentary that day.

[maxinio]

YA, yes youre nearly correct

 

It was Watford v Newcastle

 

Newc kckd off and pssd back to Beasant

he handled outside area, up stepped Neil Redfearn and the rest is history

you nearly had it !

 

and yes it is Wednesday, Daggers game called off

2mrw we play at Aveley

Trialists game lads so not too excited

2nites question?

 

Who played in a losing Cup Final team, joined the winners, but still lost an FA Cup Final with them, 5 years later?

 

[YELLOW]

Clive Allen for QPR and Tottenham.
