Here's my third (and probably last, at least for the time being) nomination of an article on a Victorian FA Cup final. One of the most striking things about this one was that one factor in the losing team losing was that several of their key players were missing due to "other commitments". Can you imagine some of the Man City or Man United players this year saying "well, I'm terribly sorry boss, but I can't possibly play in the FA Cup final because I am busy that day"? :-) Feedback as ever will be most gratefully received and most swiftly acted upon -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Nikkimaria: the author of what, the trophy itself? Would that be the person who actually made it? According to the National Football Museum and various other sources, it was made by a firm called Vaughton's of Birmingham, but none of them give any details of the individual specific craftsperson/people who worked on it. Even Vaughtons themselves don't list this information. Some sources say that former footballer Howard Vaughton "was commissioned to make the trophy", but as he was a director of the firm I don't think we can take that wording as concrete proof that he was the one who literally physically made it. I have added all this to the Commons page.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
