As most fans will know we got to the cup finals regularly before finally winning it. Saw this copy and thought it odd that they decided to stop at 1-1. I wonder why? Anyone know?

    With the score in the final tied at 1–1 and, due to transport restrictions and bombing threats, a replay not an option, the game ended a draw. Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa shared the 1944 trophy, an event that had not happened before and did not happen again.
