OK, I thought there had been another similar situation.

Leighton only played one more game for United, a League Cup tie against Halifax later that year. Thank God.

[JohntheBike]

That's the same as Leighton. He played in the 3-3 draw v Palace with Sealey playing in the replay.

[LondonManc]

well, not quite the same as Sprake. He played full time and extra time at Wembley, but didn't play in the replay. At that time, winner's medals were only awarded for the winning game. I gather this has been changed now.

Ah, in terms of the first one, that will also apply to Jim Leighton, who was dropped in favour of the late Les Sealey in the 1990 final, with Les making a beeline for Leighton and offering him his winner's medal.

Well done. I was at their 125 year celebrations in 1977. So that makes them formed in 1852.

Kevin Moran, 1985. First man sent off in a cup final. That said, he was later presented the medal after the FA had at first refused. Thinking about it, he was sent off late in the second half. It'll be someone stretchered off in extra time then. I'll have to have a think.

Gary Sprake for Leeds. Played full time at Wembley, match drawn. Didn't play in the reply.

Which English FA Cup? The one that Chelsea won last May or a different one?
Cardiff City were the last winners of the English FA Cup. They dropped the English part after.

Team kit must be easily distinguishable from the opposing team's kit and that of the match officials.
One more, the goal keeper must have a different kit from the rest of his team
