Harry Hampton scores one of his two goals in the 1905 FA Cup final
A panoramic view of the Crystal Palace ground during the 1905 FA Cup final, the only such photograph of the stadium known to exist.
The 1905 FA Cup Final was contested by Aston Villa and Newcastle United at Crystal Palace. Aston Villa were victorious, winning 2–0, with Harry Hampton scoring both goals.
The players in the photo are (left to right): Alf Hall (Aston Villa), Jack Carr (Newcastle), Harry Hampton (Aston Villa), Joe Bache (Aston Villa), Jimmy Lawrence (Newcastle goalkeeper in cap), and Andy McCombie (Newcastle). The match had only started two minutes when this first goal was scored. There were over 100,000 spectators, some of whom can be seen clinging to the trees in the background. They seem to defy gravity as they watch the action. Hampton scored again as Villa took the Cup. Newcastle's consolation was that they finished the season as League Champions.
