RIP the #FACup

Just a reminder of the moments we would’ve missed out on without FA Cup replays

The FA Cup Final was THE most exciting day of the season as a kid, regardless of who was playing but now though? Screwed by greed and people wonder why accounts like this exist......because football was so much better back then than it is now! #mufc

RIP Gordon Ferry who was one of Arsenal's first ever apprentices. He went on to play 11 First Division games in 1964-65.

Hi Mal Winkles - Football Nostalgia, this is wonderful. Sadly, “Daisy Cutter’s” dismal fears were realised and that the Pensioners were relegated from Division 1. However, by holding West Ham United to a 1–1 draw in the match for which the programme was issued, Chelsea FC became London League champions.
