Cup Final to lift the trophy for the first time in their history. The Final was played at Fallowfield Stadium. Due to serious overcrowding, which delayed the start of the game and caused damage to the ground's infrastructure, the Cup Final was never to return to the Manchester venue. On the hour mark the Wolves captain Harry Allen launched what could only be described as a hopeful lob from distance into the Everton box. Richard Williams, the Everton 'keeper, completely misjudged the danger and allowed the ball to bounce into his net.
