1900 FA Cup final
The 1900 FA Cup final was an association football match between Bury and Southampton on Saturday, 21 April 1900 at the Crystal Palace stadium in south London. It was the final match of the 1899–1900 FA Cup, the 29th edition of the world's oldest football knockout competition, and England's primary cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, better known as the FA Cup.
Bury and Southampton were both appearing in their first finals. Both teams joined the competition in the first round proper and progressed through four rounds to the final. As a member of the Football League First Division, Bury were exempt from the competition's qualifying phase. Southampton, as a member of the Southern League would normally have been required to pre-qualify but, as champions of the Southern League for three seasons in succession from 1896–97 to 1898–99, they were given byes through the qualifying phase to the first round.
The final was played in a heat wave and watched by a crowd of 68,945. Bury, leading 3–0 at half-time, dominated the match to win 4–0 with goals by Jasper McLuckie (2), Willie Wood and Jack Plant. When the game ended, the FA Cup trophy was presented to Bury's captain Jack Pray by Lord James of Hereford. Winning the cup proved to be profitable for Bury as the club's debts of £1,230 were converted into a credit balance of £1,329. Bury won the cup again in 1903 but that was their last appearance in the match. Southampton reached the 1902 final but were defeated by Sheffield United; they eventually won the cup in 1976.
The FA Cup, known officially as The Football Association Challenge Cup, is an annual knockout association football competition in men's domestic English football. The competition was first proposed on 20 July 1871 by C. W. Alcock at a meeting of The Football Association committee. The tournament was first played in the 1871–72 season and is the world's oldest association football competition. The 1900 match between Bury and Southampton at Crystal Palace was the 29th final and the last of the 19th century. Both teams were appearing in the final for the first time.
Bury were members of the Football League First Division and, in the 1899–1900 league championship, amassed 32 points to finish in 12th position, only five points clear of the relegation placings. Southampton were members of the Southern League and had been its champions in each of the three previous seasons. In the 1899–1900 Southern League championship, they had slipped to third place below new champions Tottenham Hotspur. Southern League teams normally had to qualify for the first round proper of the FA Cup but, as reigning champions of their league, Southampton were exempted from pre-qualification and were given byes to the first round.
Bury's team between 1895 and 1907 was selected by a three-man committee but with club secretary Harry Spencer Hamer in charge of the team on match days. Southampton's club secretary Ernest Arnfield took charge of their team on match days.
Bury entered the competition in the first round proper and played seven matches, including three replays, en route to the final. All four of their opponents were other teams in the First Division.
In the first round on Saturday, 27 January, Bury were drawn away to Burnley, who were relegated at the end of the 1899–1900 league season. Bury won the tie 1–0 with a goal by Charlie Sagar before a crowd of 6,020 at Turf Moor.
