First FA cup Final

Post by lbere »

Hi, My son has to do a project on Sydenham and has gained some information from this site. Can anyone please tell me where and when the first FA Cup final was played in Sydenham?
Thanks very much

The FA Cup Final was held in Crystal Palace Park, on a pitch where the athletics stadium is now. It was held in 1895, between Aston Villa and West Brom - Villa won. The FA Cup final continued to be played there until 1914.
