The1880 FA Cup final was contested byClapham Rovers andOxford University at theKennington Oval. Clapham Rovers won 1–0, the only goal being scored byClopton Lloyd-Jones.[1]

Overview

[edit]

Weather

[edit]

At the start of the match, a strong and cold north-easterly wind blew into the faces of the Oxford team and the wind neutralised many of their kicks but it eased considerably after half-time.[2][3]

Scoring

[edit]

In the first half,Clopton Lloyd-Jones attempted to score twice, with a shot from the left which glanced off a goalpost, and a centre kick downfield which was saved by the Oxford goalkeeperPercival Parr. The ball hit the Oxford crossbar with a shot fromEdward Ram and Harold Brougham shot just over the same bar.[2]

In the second half, six minutes before the close of time, the deadlock was broken whenFrancis Sparks conducted the ball to within "about six yards of the University goal". Although Oxford'sCharles King attempted to stop the ball with a weak mis-kick, Lloyd-Jones, "who had followed well up shot it between the posts. This feat quite 'brought down the house.'"[4] According toThe Field magazine's report, there was "vociferous cheering, throwing up of hats, and other demonstrations of delight from their supporters." At the game's end, Lloyd-Jones, and his team captainRobert Ogilvie, were specially cheered by the crowd.[5] At 21 years and 150 days Lloyd-Jones was the 'baby' of his team and the youngest Cup Final scorer to date.[6]

In fiction

[edit]

This match was subject of a spoof anecdote, written in 2006 by journalist John Walsh as a guest editor of a charity issue ofThe Independent in a list of five "least successful guest-star interventions in history", in whichOscar Wilde was a guest player on the Oxford team, but demurred from a chance to score at the last minute.[7] The anecdotes are purely comedy fiction. Wilde was known for a disdain of 'manly sports' (apart from occasional boxing at university).[8]
