The Football Association Challenge Cup Final Tie: Aston Villa V. Huddersfield Town
Aston Villa see off Huddersfield in the first FA Cup final since the end of WWI.
It was the first FA Cup final since WWI stopped play in 1915: apparently a perfect excuse to don a woman's hat and swig from a large bottle of beer for one fan captured by the Topical Budget newsreel cameras. A capacity crowd had gathered at Stamford Bridge on this grey spring day to see Aston Villa take on Huddersfield FC. Huddersfield had been on a great run of form that would see them promoted to Division One for the first time in their history, but Billy Kirton's looping header from a corner settled the tie and Villa picked up the trophy for the sixth time.
