Today's featured article Programme for the 1925 FA Cup final The 1925 FA Cup final was an association football match contested by Sheffield United and Cardiff City on 25 April 1925 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The final was the showpiece match of English football's primary cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup), organised by the Football Association. Both teams entered the competition in the first round and progressed through five stages to reach the final. Both clubs conceded only two goals each en route to the final. This was the second time a team from outside England had reached an FA Cup final. It was also the first time a Welsh team had reached the final of the competition. Nearly 92,000 spectators attended the final. The only goal of the game was scored by Sheffield United's Fred Tunstall after 30 minutes and the match finished 1–0. The match remains the last time Sheffield United won the FA Cup. Cardiff later played in and won the 1927 final. (Full article...)
