The1939 FA Cup final was contested byPortsmouth andWolverhampton Wanderers atWembley. Portsmouth won 4–1, with goals fromBert Barlow,John Anderson and two byCliff Parker.Dicky Dorsett scored Wolves' effort.

As a result of the suspension of the FA Cup for the duration of theSecond World War, the next FA Cup final was not until seven years later in1946, thereby enabling Portsmouth fans to claim that their team has held the Cup for the longest time.

Wolves had entered the game as clear favourites, having scored 19 goals in their five FA Cup games and lying second in the league table. By contrast, Portsmouth were struggling in the relegation zone.

CaptainJimmy Guthrie was presented with the cup byKing George VI. Portsmouth managerJack Tinn said afterwards that his side won thanks to the help of his "luckyspats".

Match summary

[edit]

Approaching the half-hour mark, Barlow scored Portsmouth's first goal from within the area. Portsmouth pressed their advantage, refusing to let Wolves back into the contest. Anderson hooked in a second just before half time after McAlinden's chip in from the right had left the advancing Scott in no-man's-land.

Immediately after the restart, Wolves goalkeeper Scott fumbled a shot on the goal line and only prevented the strike creeping in with an outstretched hand on top of the ball. However, Cliff Parker slid in to kick the ball from under the keeper's hand to make it 3–0. Wolves drove forward to try to mount a recovery but a solitary Dorsett strike from eight yards was their only success. Portsmouth put the result beyond any doubt when Parker headed in his second and Portsmouth's fourth from close range from a Worrall cross.

Additional history

[edit]

WhenWorld War II began in September 1939, this caused the 1939 FA Cup champions Portsmouth to hold the distinction of holding the FA Cup trophy for the longest uninterrupted period - seven years - as the FA Cup competition was not held again until the end of World War II. Portsmouth managerJack Tinn was rumoured to have kept the FA Cup trophy 'safe under his bed' throughout the duration of the war, but this is anurban myth. Because the naval city of Portsmouth was a primary strategic military target for German Luftwaffe bombing, the FA Cup trophy was actually taken ten miles to the north of Portsmouth, to the nearby Hampshire village ofLovedean, and there it resided in a quaint thatched roof country pub calledThe Bird in Hand for the duration of the war.^[1] After the war, the FA Cup trophy was presented back by Portsmouth F.C. to the Football Association in time for the1946 FA Cup Final.

Portsmouth's Tommy Rowe, who died in May 2006 at the age of 92, was the last surviving player from the 1939 FA Cup Final match.
