Century of the F.A. Cup(2002)

Presented by Martin Tyler

Century of the F.A. Cup is a documentary that chronicles a hundred years of English football's most storied competition. Beginning in 1871 when just 15 clubs entered the tournament, the film traces the Cup's evolution through legendary players, dominant teams, and surprise underdog victories. Archive footage in black and white captures the competition's early decades, while memorable moments include the 1923 Wembley final—when 200,000 spectators flooded the pitch and had to be dispersed by a famous white horse. The documentary showcases the sport's greatest talents and most dramatic upsets across two volumes, offering football fans a nostalgic journey through a century of British sporting history.
