I assume Etonians defended that 1-0 victory by parking the horse-drawn carriage.

Somebody ought to make a TV series out of that tale... oh wait.

Seriously though, good stuff, Tony... You and Joe Hoare should get together and write the 2nd series about the dastardly carryings on by the Tory proto RS in The Sandon back in the 1890s.

Fascinating stuff. I always associate Huddersfield as the home of Rugby League and went to Fartown in the 1970's when it was very run down. The popular side terrace had evidently been little used but on this day a big crowd filled the terrace which was literally knee deep in weeds.

An interesting read, Tony.

I always enjoyed reading through the history of FA Cup winners, but they were just names. People like yourself, Rob Sawyer and Sam Hoare, in your different ways, have really put some flesh on the bones. Thank you.
