sad saints fan Posted 6 November, 2009 Share Posted 6 November, 2009 (edited) Anyone know the last team to play in round 1 and reach Wembley? 0-2 Saints Jaidi both. Since the foundation of the Football League, Tottenham Hotspur in 1901 have been the only non-league winners of the FA Cup. They were then playing in the Southern League and were only elected to the Football League in 1908. At that time the Football League consisted of only two 18-team divisions; Tottenham's victory would be comparable to a team playing at the third level of the English football pyramid (currently League One) winning today. In the history of the FA Cup, only eight teams who were playing outside of the top level of English football have gone on to win the whole competition, the most recent being West Ham United, who beat Arsenal in 1980. Excluding Tottenham in 1901, these clubs were all playing in the old Second Division, no other Third Division or lower side having so far reached the final. If this is correct and I nicked it from another site ,I should imagine no one has ever done it,since it has been in its present format.

hamster Posted 6 November, 2009 Share Posted 6 November, 2009 I think the Royal Engineers did it pre 1900. Some might say they a were the foundation for The Gills, but that is not really true iirc as The Gills started as New Brompton. However, The Royal Engineers DID develop a passing style of playing that we now know as the 'Beautiful Game', before then the game was predominantly a game of dribbling with the ball and shooting at the first opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP asked when was the last time someone played in R1 and reached Wembley. Wembley did not open until 1922 or 23 so Spuds don't count and neither do the Royal Engineers. And don't forget we did it the year before but lost in the Final at Kennington Oval So I think the answer is never... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
