Second round of the FA Cup Topical Budget 545-1


Eccentric goalkeeping, frantic tackling and one lost stadium feature in these brilliant highlights from two London derbies in the 1922 FA Cup

Footage from two cup matches, starting with the South London derby between Crystal Palace and Millwall, a 0-0 draw at Palace's old ground, The Nest, in Selhurst, which no longer exists (Millwall won the replay). The second is between Spurs and Watford at White Hart Lane, Spurs winning 1-0. In both, the goalkeeping is particularly interesting as is the attire of the referee, who wears a suit with three-quarter length trousers. It ends with a crowd shot – can you spot the woman?
