Match Day - Classic Cup Finals Volume 1

Ten FA Cup finals, 1953 to 2019, and the twenty clubs who played in them.

Matthews' Blackpool. The Busby Babes going for the double. Wolves, and the Spurs double side. Sunderland from the Second Division in '73, Brooking's header, the Crazy Gang against the champions. Di Matteo inside a minute, Kanu for Portsmouth, City on 98 points. Every club is the side that played that season.

Three ways to play

Replay the finals. Each final has its own page: the two sides, how they came into it, a line for your result, then what happened on the day. Wembley is neutral, so nobody gets home advantage.

Run a league. All twenty clubs, home and away, 38 rounds. Every fixture has both Match Ratings printed beside it and a space for the score. Keep the table on the wall with the League Ladder and its slide-in club tabs.

Hold a cup. Cut out the draw tokens and put all twenty in a hat. Four preliminary ties, then the last sixteen through to a final at a neutral ground.
