Match Media
On This Day
  • Tommy Barber scored on 78' to win Villa their fifth FA Cup.

  • Villa and Sunderland contest the FA Cup final with Villa victorious for the fifth time in a match notable for two reasons. 

  • This was the first time that the top two League teams would face off in the final - with the eventual champions not to be settled until the next set of fixtures.

  • This was the most bad tempered final that football had seen as a thuggish Sunderland side betrayed their quality with questionable tactics.

  • Sunderland player Thomson behaves with barely disguised thuggery the ill-feeling and consequences of which will be felt for many months as Harry Hampton, the victim, is censured and banned for the entire month of September 1913 in a move described as being 'almost universally condemned'

  • Both teams will meet again in four days time in a title decider that promises to be no less prickly.
