FEATURE - FA Cup Winners


Some more honours to share from my database; this time the FA Cup winners and a few runners up.

The data on this is harder to interpret, lots of general statements are made, like Thornton Villa have won the FA Cup 11 times, Corstone City 4 and Blackport Rovers 5, yet no years given. Melchester Rovers have also won the Cup more times than printed in the official honours list, with three more wins added.

The most successful clubs are: Thornton Villa, Melchester Rovers, Everpool, Blackport Rovers, Tynecaster United, Weston Villa.

There is very little data about the early days of the Cup and the amateur era. So I have left that period out.
