America against the wishes of the FA and the Manager/Coach was banned from any football for life when they got back. That could be all rubbish and about something entirely different.

Guest worth_the_wait Posted 9 July 2020 Posted 9 July 2020 The 1923 FA Cup Final is the only major football match, where you can make the attendance to be anything you like. It was officially about 126,000. Others estimate it as 160,000. Some estimate it as high as 200,000. I've even see it listed as 300,000. Personally, I reckon it was over 500,000. Nah, let's round it up and call it a million.
