It is hard to imagine that certain of today's premier clubs were once relative minnows, competing outside their country's major league. Such was the case of Tottenham Hotspur in 1901, a strong Southern League side which vanquished a number of Football League teams, including Sheffield United in the final, to raise the F.A. Cup. In so doing they became the first and only non-league club to win the trophy.
This short clip records some of the action from the final. Note our old friend William "Fatty" Foulke in goal for Sheffield United.
