HOME & AWAY

26th April 1947. F.A. Cup Final. Burnley 0 (0) Charlton Athletic 1 (0) (Duffy 114) AET. Wembley Stadium Att: 98,215

Burnley: Strong, Woodruff, Mather, Attwell, Brown, Bray, Chew, Morris, harrison, Potts, Kippax.

Charlton: Bartram, P. Croker, Shreeve, Johnson, Phipps, Whittaker, Hurst, Dawson, W. Robinson, Welsh, Duffy.

Referee: J Wiltshire (Dorset).

F.A. Cup debut: In 1946 it was Peter Croker who missed the final due to injury and this year Revell was the unlucky player, injured at Portsmouth three weeks before the final. Whittaker was chosen to replace him and play in his first ever F.A. Cup match. Indeed, he only had five league games under his belt prior to the final.

Crikey, didn't realise it was 60 years to the day. Not sure if it's something worth celebrating or feel slightly embarrassed about....

I wonder what Peter Croker and Bert Johnson make of the likws of Marcus Bent.

Sadly you were right there, Jimmy. Even Curbs never managed an FA Cup Final.
