Two all-time greats portrayed here, both born in the XIX century and both with remarkable stats despite the WWI (in which they both served) lost years. Joe Smith (the captain) and David Jack (first goal ever scored at Wembley here, and he scored one more for the final 2-0) to this day 2nd and 3rd best goalscorers for Bolton after Nat Lofthouse, and among the best first league all time top scorers, both around the 250 goals.
Smith was born in 1889 and was 34 here, would play until age 42 then become a legendary coach for 23 consecutive years at Blackpool, managing the team in the Matthews Final, their 1953 FA Cup win (ironically against Lofthouse's Bolton). It was also him who signed Stanley Matthews.
Jack born in 1898 and son of a former scottish international, would later replace Charlie Buchan at Arsenal, becoming the first ever 5-digits transfer and being protagonist of the Chapman era successes until retiring in 1934.
Two greats yet such simple, nice guys
This is incredible footage ! Thank you !
Wow. 100 years ago... the silent commentary seems so jovial and friendly ("Well done, Hammers! Better luck next time!") and then England won the World Cup there in '66.
Every single person wearing a hat.
Even the goalies!
Style 😎
Put that year in context - hard time following the war and a bit of escapism , tough era lot of respect for this group
Thank you for this priceless video
Apparently this is the biggest crowd for football ever. 300,000. Officially stated at 126,000, (tickets sold) but everyone knows it was over full by at least double. No seats, no space on the terraces, and at least 100,000 spread around the pitch.
woah
West Ham still has the 2nd highest attendance in the premier league. Some things don't change.
I always like to wind up spurs fans who have a justified inferiority complex about Arsenal and keep insisting they are a big team. I tell them that West Ham must be bigger than spurs as more people watched this game other match in the history of football history
Wonderful - 250k people and no trouble anywhere.
I like the way there was thousands of people on the pitch and the players still came out 😂
Wonderful footage!
With the centenary coming up, I reckon this footage is going to be a lot more common in the next few months. Great clip!
OMG! one of the coolest films I've ever seen ......
RIP everyone in this video
This is history
Magnifique
Pele on Wembley stadium..”it is the cathedral of football,it is the heart of football”That FA cup final,after the war,was reckoned to be over 250,000 people turned up,and became known as the ‘White horse final”.today fans still crossing over white horse bridge on the way to Wembley
West Ham still pull a crowd, even today ⚒
England!!!!
All those souls from 100 years ago
The policeman on the white horse was called Scorey always makes me smile.
Yeah, mate. That's side-splitting. lol
Pass me one from Highbury...I am located in singapore, still staying strong with roots, kertar singh, John Abraham, Peter Fernando, subah anandhan, SC PALA, old school boys forever...
2:23 ten thousand people invaded the pitch to just stand around there 😆😆
They kind of got forced onto the pitch to escape being crushed
The hillsborough disaster would of been completely prevented if the fans could of spilled out onto the pitch like this. But instead they were crushed against the fences.
Itt kezdődött 0:42 a Sheffield tragédia? :(
How does the moustache help?
He heard Liverpool reached the final.
This striker for Bolton is zlatan on loan
Now fa cup final nearly a 100 years old know
@flakahasolli1010 151 years old mate - the first FA cup was the 1871-72 season.
How England has changed in only 100 years, everyone looks so civilised, well dressed and perfectly behaved... I doubt anyone got stabbed either.
I agree, and fascinating social history, although a lot had no issue getting in without paying like the euros final.
There were 259 recorded murders in England and Wales in 1923, with a population of around 38 million. In 2023, there were 590 murders in England and Wales, with a population of around 59.5 million. So the murder rate is roughly equal between now and 1923.
Everyone in that video is dead now.
@davidcunninglinguist4549 Bet you're fun at parties.
But they lived and loved and that’s the important part!
What the hell were they thinking? Those jackasses were just standing around on the pitch as if things were going to proceed as normal. 🤦♂️
My thought exactly…. They all got in and none could watch the game!
Just like scousers climbing in without tickets
A lot of those lads went across no-mans land. A brick wall stood no chance.
From the BBC Sport article. A rare instance of worthwhile coverage from that organisation, with a pleasantly surprising lack of complaining about the dearth of diversity. One can only shudder at the crime and violence that would ensue with the current population of London in such a situation. 100 years. The past is a different country. One from which we took - or were led down - the wrong path.
Loosen your grip on those pearls, grandma
Strange comment, football hooligans tend not to be the most diverse of people.
comment would look better under a Daily Mail Article
Lineker wasn't around yet was he? 🤣
True. Most of those Londoners have been ethnically cleansed and replaced by immigrants. We have lost our own capital.
"I'm forever blowing bubbles" could be heard in Paris that day.
