County Cup (7): Cup Winners

A system of byes ensures clubs above Level 9 and 10 enter the competition at later stages. There is no seeding , the fixtures in each round being determined by a random draw. Prior to the quarter-finals, fixtures ending in a tie are replayed once only. The next six rounds are the "proper" rounds where all clubs are in one draw. Entrants from the bottom two levels 9 and 10 begin the competition in the Extra Preliminary Round.

Clubs from higher levels are then added in later rounds, as per the table below. The months in which rounds are played are traditional, with exact dates subject to each year's calendar. The qualifying rounds are regionalised to reduce the travel costs for smaller non-league sides. The first and second proper rounds were also previously split into Northern and Southern sections, but this practice was ended after the —98 competition.

The final is normally held the Saturday after the Premier League season finishes in May.

The only seasons in recent times when this pattern was not followed were — , when most rounds were played a few weeks earlier than normal as an experiment, and —11 and —13 when the FA Cup Final was played before the Premier League season had finished, to allow Wembley Stadium to be ready for the UEFA Champions League final, [11] as well as in —12 to allow England time to prepare for that summer's European Championships. Thereafter, the draw for each subsequent round is not made until after the scheduled dates for the previous round, meaning that in the case of replays, clubs will often know their future opponents in advance.

The draw for each of the proper rounds is broadcast live on television, usually taking place at the conclusion of live coverage of one of the games of the previous round. Public interest is particularly high during the draw for the third round, which is where the top-ranked teams are added to the draw. In rounds up to and including the fifth round proper, fixtures resulting in a draw after normal time go to a replay , played at the venue of the away team, at a later date; if that replay is still tied, the winner is settled by a period of extra time , and if still necessary, a penalty shootout.

Since —17 , ties are settled on the day from the quarter-finals onwards, using extra time and penalties. Until —91 , further replays would be played until one team was victorious. Some ties took as many as six matches to settle; in their campaign, Fulham played a total of 12 games over six rounds, which remains the most games played by a team to reach a final. This led to penalty shoot-outs being introduced, the first of which came on 26 November when Rotherham United eliminated Scunthorpe United. From —81 to —99 , the semi-finals went to extra time on the day if the score after 90 minutes was a draw.

If the score was still level after extra time, the match would go to a replay. Replays for the semi-finals were scrapped for — , the last semi-final to go into a replay was in —99 when Manchester United beat Arsenal 2—1 after extra time. The first game had ended in a 0—0 draw. The initial tie finished 1—1 but the Royal Engineers won the replay 2—0 in normal time. The replay saw Arsenal win the FA Cup, 2—1 after extra time.

The original game at Old Trafford ended in a 1—1 draw, while Manchester United won the replay at the Boleyn Ground , 2—1. This European place applies even if the team is relegated or is not in the English top flight. FA Cup winners enter the Europa League at the group stage. Losing finalists, if they haven't qualified for Europe via the league, began earlier, at the play-off or third qualifying round stage. The FA Cup winners also qualify for the following season's single-match FA Community Shield , the traditional season opener played against the previous season's Premier League champions or the Premier League runners-up if the FA Cup winners also won the league — the double.

Fixtures in the 12 rounds of the competition are usually played at the home ground of one of the two teams. The semi-finals and final are played at a neutral venue — the rebuilt Wembley Stadium since and respectively.

In the matches for the twelve competition rounds, the team who plays at home is decided when the fixtures are drawn — simply the first team drawn out for each fixture. Occasionally games may have to be moved to other grounds due to other events taking place, security reasons or a ground not being suitable to host popular teams. In the event of a draw , the replay is played at the ground of the team who originally played away from home.

In the days when multiple replays were possible, the second replay and any further replays were played at neutral grounds. The clubs involved could alternatively agree to toss for home advantage in the second replay. The semi-finals have been played exclusively at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium since , one year after it opened and after it had already hosted a final in For the first decade of the competition, the Kennington Oval was used as the semi-final venue. In the period between this first decade and the reopening of Wembley, semi-finals were played at high-capacity neutral venues around England; usually the home grounds of teams not involved in that semi-final, chosen to be roughly equidistant between the two teams for fairness of travel.

The top three most used venues in this period were Villa Park in Birmingham 55 times , Hillsborough in Sheffield 34 times and Old Trafford in Manchester 23 times. The original Wembley Stadium was also used seven times for semi-final, between and the last held there , but not always for fixtures featuring London teams. In , both were held at the Millennium Stadium. In the FA took the decision to permanently use the new Wembley for semi-finals to recoup debts in financing the new stadium.

The final has been played at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium since it opened, in Prior to rebuilding, the final was hosted by the original Wembley Stadium since it opened in being originally named the Empire Stadium. One exception to this 78 year series of Empire Stadium finals including five replays was the replay between Leeds and Chelsea, held at Old Trafford in Manchester. In the 51 years prior to the Empire Stadium opening, the final including 8 replays was held in a variety of locations, predominantly in London, and mainly at the Kennington Oval and then Crystal Palace.

It was played 22 times at The Oval the inaugural competition in , and then all but two times until After The Oval, Crystal Palace hosted 21 finals from to , broken up by four replays elsewhere. The other London venues were Stamford Bridge from to the last three finals before the move to Empire Stadium ; and the University of Oxford's Lillie Bridge in Fulham for the second ever final, in The other venues used sparingly in this period were all outside of London, as follows:. The FA permitted artificial turf 3G pitches in all rounds of the competition from the —15 edition and beyond.

The trophy comes in three parts — the cup itself, plus a lid and a base. There have been two designs of trophy in use, but five physical trophies have been presented. It was stolen in and never recovered, and so was replaced by an exact replica, used until The FA decided to change the design after the winners, Manchester United, made their own replica, leading the FA to realise they did not own the copyright. This third replica, first used in , was built heavier to withstand the increased handling. The name of the winning team is engraved on the silver band around the base as soon as the final has finished, in order to be ready in time for the presentation ceremony.

At Cardiff the presentation was made on a podium on the pitch. The tradition of presenting the trophy immediately after the game did not start until the final ; after the first final in the trophy was not presented to the winners, Wanderers, until a reception held four weeks later in the Pall Mall Restaurant in London. Portsmouth's manager Jack Tinn was rumoured to have kept the FA Cup trophy 'safe under his bed' throughout the duration of the war, but this is an urban 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 of Lovedean , and there it resided in a quaint thatched roof country pub called The Bird in Hand for the seven years of the war.

Just over 60 years later, 80 year old career criminal Henry Harry James Burge claimed to have committed the theft, confessing to a newspaper, with the story being published in the Sunday Pictorial newspaper on 23 February He claimed to have carried out the robbery with two other men, although when discrepancies with a contemporaneous report in the Birmingham Post newspaper the crime pre-dated written police reports in his account of the means of entry and other items stolen, detectives decided there was no realistic possibility of a conviction and the case was closed.

Burge claimed the cup had been melted down to make counterfeit half-crown coins, which matched known intelligence of the time, in which stolen silver was being used to forge coins which were then laundered through betting shops at a local racecourse, although Burge had no past history of forgery in a record of 42 previous convictions for which he had spent 42 years in prison. He had been further imprisoned in for seven years for theft from cars. Released in , he died in After being rendered obsolete by the redesign, the replica was presented in to the FA's long-serving president Lord Kinnaird.

The redesigned trophy first used in was larger at A smaller, but otherwise identical, replica was also made by Fattorini, the North Wales Coast FA Cup trophy, and is contested annually by members of that regional Association [37]. The replica was made by Toye, Kenning and Spencer. The replica was made by Thomas Lyte , handcrafted in sterling silver over hours. A weight increase to increase durability has taken it to 6.

Each club in the final receives 40 winners or runners-up medals to be distributed among players, staff, and officials. Since the start of the —95 season , the FA Cup has been sponsored. However, to protect the identity of the competition, the sponsored name has always included 'The FA Cup' in addition to the sponsor's name, unlike sponsorship deals for the League Cup where the word 'cup' is preceded by only the sponsor's name.

Sponsorship deals run for four years, though — as in the case of E. ON — one-year extensions may be agreed. From to , Umbro supplied match balls for all FA Cup matches. They were replaced at the start of the —14 season by Nike , who produced the competition's official match ball for five seasons. Mitre took over for the —19 season, beginning a three-year partnership with the FA. The possibility of unlikely victories in the earlier rounds of the competition, where lower ranked teams beat higher placed opposition in what is known as a "giant killing", is much anticipated by the public.

Such upsets are considered an integral part of the tradition and prestige of the competition, and the attention gained by giant-killing teams can be as great as that for winners of the cup. One analysis of four years of FA Cup results showed that it was The probability drops to Since the creation of The Football League, Tottenham Hotspur is the only non-league "giant-killer" to win the Cup, taking the FA Cup with a victory over reigning league runners-up Sheffield United: Only two other actual non-League clubs have even reached the final since the founding of the League: Sheffield Wednesday in champions of the Football Alliance, a rival league which was already effectively the Second Division, which it formally became in — Wednesday being let straight into the First Division , and Southampton in and in which years they were also Southern League champions, proving the strength of that league: Prior to that game, the last time a non-league side defeated a Level 1 club was in when Sutton United claimed a 2—1 victory at home over Coventry City , who had won the FA Cup less than two years prior.

Hereford finished the shocking comeback by defeating Newcastle 2—1 in the match. Some small clubs gain a reputation for being "cup specialists" after two or more giant killing feats within a few years. For non-league teams, reaching the Third Round Proper — where all Level 1 sides now enter — is considered a major achievement. In the —09 FA Cup , a record nine non-league teams achieved this feat.

They were drawn at home against West Ham United in Round 5 but lost 0 - 1 in a close game at Aggborough. Chasetown , while playing at Level 8 of English football during the —08 competition , are the lowest-ranked team to ever play in the Third Round Proper final 64, of teams entered that season. In games between League sides, one of the most notable results was the victory by Wrexham , bottom of the previous season's League avoiding relegation due to expansion of The Football League , over reigning champions Arsenal.

Another similar shock was when Shrewsbury Town beat Everton 2—1 in Everton finished 7th in the Premier League and Shrewsbury Town were relegated to the Football Conference that same season. Since its establishment, the FA Cup has been won by 43 different teams. Teams shown in italics are no longer in existence. Four clubs have won consecutive FA Cups on more than one occasion: Wanderers , and , , , Blackburn Rovers , , and , , Tottenham Hotspur , and , and Arsenal , and , In , Arsenal became the first side to win both the FA Cup and the League Cup in the same season when they beat Sheffield Wednesday 2—1 in both finals.

Liverpool in and Chelsea in have since repeated this feat. In —99 , Manchester United added the Champions League title to their league and cup double to complete a unique Treble. The FA Cup has only been won by a non-English team once. Cardiff City achieved this in when they beat Arsenal in the final at Wembley. They had previously made it to the final only to lose to Sheffield United in and lost another final to Portsmouth in Cardiff City is also the only team to win the national cups of two different countries in the same season, having also won the Welsh Cup in The Scottish team Queen's Park reached and lost the final in both and Since the creation of the Football League in , the final has never been contested by two teams from outside the top division, and there have only been eight winners who were not in the top flight: With the exception of Tottenham, these clubs were all playing in the second tier the old Second Division — Tottenham were playing in the Southern League and were only elected to the Football League in , meaning they are the only non-League winners of the FA Cup since the League's creation.

Other than Tottenham's victory, only 24 finalists have come from outside English football's top tier, with a record of 7 wins and 17 runners-up: Sunderland's win in was considered a major upset, having beaten Leeds United who finished third in the top flight that season. This also marked the last time as of a team from outside the top division won the FA cup. Uniquely, in three of the four semi-finalists Barnsley, Cardiff City and West Bromwich were from outside the top division, although the eventual winner was the last remaining top-flight team, Portsmouth. In the early years of coverage the BBC had exclusive radio coverage with a picture of the pitch marked in the Radio Times with numbered squares to help the listener follow the match on the radio.

Nowadays, this continues with Setanta and ESPN having all-day broadcasts from Wembley, but terrestrial TV coverage usually begins two hours before kick off. ITV shows 16 FA Cup games per season, including the first pick of live matches from each of the first to sixth rounds of the competition, plus one semi-final exclusively live. The final is also shown live on ITV. Under the same contract, Setanta Sports showed three games and one replay in each round from round three to five, two quarter-finals, one semi-final and the final. Setanta entered administration in June and as a result the FA terminated Setanta's deal to broadcast FA-sanctioned competitions and England internationals.

One match and one replay match from the first two rounds will broadcast on The FA website for free, in a similar situation to the World Cup Qualifier between Ukraine and England. Some analysts argued the decision to move away from the Sky and, in particular, the BBC undermined the FA Cup in the eyes of the public.

Cup Winners

The first match of the competition, between Wantage Town and Brading Town, was broadcast live online. Highlights of eight games of each round were broadcast as catch up on ITV Local. Under this deal, the BBC will show around the same number of games as ITV and still having the first pick for each round. Matches involving Welsh clubs are sometimes exclusively broadcast on Welsh language channel S4C , which is also available to view across the rest of the United Kingdom on satellite and cable television, and through the channel's website.

This time it was a traditionally shaped shield, again with three sections. The buck in the park had been removed and the rose and the crown had been split up and now occupied a section each. The ram's head also remained and was now given the largest section of the shield. The badge never appeared on the players' shirts.

The shield was modified in when the rose and crown were removed and replaced with the letters "DC" Derby County and "FC" Football Club respectively. The badge, right, was featured on to the player's shirts from its introduction onwards, though the ram's head on its own was used from the late s the full shield, however, remained the club's official logo.

A new club badge was introduced in , featuring a more modern design that, with modifications, is still in use. The badge was initially consisted of a stylised white ram facing left. The badge was first modified slightly in to include the text "Derby County FC" under the ram though the ram remained on its own on away kits. In , the ram turned to face to the right and the text under it was removed. The ram was surrounded by a wreath of laurel and the text "Centenary —" was printed underneath for the club's centenary season. The laurel was removed and the text reading "Derby County FC" returned from the next season.

In , the ram faced left again and the text was removed once more. From , the ram faced right and was enclosed in a diamond, with a gold banner reading "Derby County FC" underneath and the text "" the year of the club's foundation underneath that. The design was changed again in see left: A decade later, in , the badge was modified again with the ram still facing left and the text "Est. In July , the club announced its intention to show only the iconic ram on future shirts, rather than the full club logo. In July , this traditional ram became the club's full logo again.

Derby County's original colours right were amber, chocolate and blue, though by the s the club had adopted its now traditional colours of black and white, which are still in use today. In the s and s, colours for home matches were white shirts with small blue or red touches on the club badge or shirt makers insignia , blue shorts and socks that were blue, red, white or a combination of the three. Similar in design to the club's away kit of the s, with blue and white stripes and reminiscent of the Argentina national team strip, the style was re-introduced following feedback from fans who said it was one of their favourite kits from the club's past.

Derby's mascot is a ram named Rammie. Rammie is a full-time employee of the club who also works to maintain the club's links with fans and the East Midlands in general, such as school visits to promote literacy and charity events. Rammie was the first full-time mascot in British football.

Rammie is a very popular figure amongst Rams fans [25] [26] and, in , released his first DVD, which features the character reading from Aesop's Fables in the Derbyshire countryside. Shortly thereafter, Rammie was joined by a female equivalent, named Eweie. However, Eweie did not last very long at Pride Park, and took a reported "vacation" to the United States. She returned from a ten-year exile on 3 October at a home match against Brentford. Although the ground itself was good enough to hold the first FA Cup final match outside London , when Blackburn Rovers beat West Bromwich Albion 2—0 in the FA Cup final replay [28] and a full England international , disputes over fixture clashed between the football and cricket clubs meant that when the opportunity to play at Sir Francis Ley's Baseball Ground arose, the club accepted.

Commonly referred to amongst supporters as "the BBG", the club moved to the Baseball Ground in and remained there for the next years, despite opportunities to move in the s and s. Following the Taylor Report in , and the legal requirement for all seater stadia, the ground's capacity dwindled to just 18, by the mids, not enough for the then ambitious second tier club. Despite initially hoping to rebuild the Baseball Ground to hold 26, spectators, and rejecting the offer of two sites elsewhere in Derby, then-chairman Lionel Pickering announced in February the intention to move to a new, purpose built stadium at the newly regenerated Pride Park , with the last ever first team game at the Baseball Ground being in May , a 1—3 home defeat to Arsenal , though it continued to host reserve matches until Derby's new ground, named Pride Park Stadium , was officially opened by the Queen on 18 July with a friendly against Italian club Sampdoria following on 4 August.

Derby hold the unique distinction of being the only club to have had three home grounds host full England internationals. Derby is often acknowledged as a "passionate football town" by rival supporters [32] and the press alike. Even in Division Two, it's a reasonable bet that crowds at Pride Park would not fall far below 20, It's historical, it's geographical, it's in the blood. Some places have it, some don't. The recognition included them being named fans of the season in much national coverage of the season, winning an award from Nuts magazine , [35] and being named the most loyal supporters in the country in a survey by Sky Sports Magazine.

Statistically, the club had the 12th-highest average attendance in the country in the —08 season, [38] —09, [39] and —10 seasons, [40] despite only having the 15th-largest club ground and finishing 18th or lower in their respective division. In —09, they were the best supported club in the Championship, with a larger average attendance than nine Premier League clubs, and had the Football Leagues' single largest league match attendance, with 33, against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 13 April Derby's primary rival clubs are Nottingham Forest , Leicester City and Leeds United , [49] with Forest, based in Nottingham , 14 miles east of Derby, being by far the fiercest rivals; a survey named the rivalry the 11th-largest in English football, revealing that nine out of ten fans from both clubs point to the other as their fiercest rival.

The rivalry as a whole largely developed from the s, due to former Derby manager Brian Clough taking over at Forest, much to the anger of the Derby fans. In fact, some commentators have described the rivalry to be as much about which club owns Clough's heart as much as the proximity of the clubs geographically. The rivalry with Leicester City stems largely from geographical location rather than any shared history. Leeds United are disliked due to ongoing friction from the early s when Derby and Leeds were two of the top English teams and the scarcely concealed hostility between their respective managers, Brian Clough and Don Revie.

This rivalry is stronger on Derby's side: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality. The Football League Legends is a list of " legendary football players" produced by The Football League in , to celebrate the th season of League football. Eight former Derby players made the list. Derby County's Player of the Season award is voted for by the clubs supporters and named in honour of Jackie Stamps , who scored two goals in Derby's sole FA Cup final victory in It was first introduced in the —69 season.

Below is a list of all the permanent managers that Derby County have had since the appointment of Harry Newbould in The current manager is Frank Lampard , who was appointed on 31 May Derby County's academy, called Moor Farm, is a purpose-built complex situated near the city suburb of Oakwood. As part of the club's th Anniversary in , the Derby board took a number of initiatives to celebrate the club's history.

As part of the club's th Anniversary celebrations, [69] it was announced that during each month a vote would be carried out to decide on the club's official All Time XI, starting in February with the goalkeeper , with the following eight months offering opportunities for Derby's support to select a team based within a 4—4—2 formation , with December's vote being reserved for the manager. On 2 June , the Club announced the supporters choice of the Top 10 Goals in the club's history, with the fans then asked again to choose their favourite from the 10 nominated.

The list was obviously biased in favour of more recent goals, largely thanks to the increased coverage modern football enjoys. Derby first competed in Europe when they entered the —73 European Cup after winning the —72 First Division Title , [83] reaching the semi-final stages, where they lost 3—1 on aggregate to Juventus in controversial circumstances.

They had qualified for the —71 Fairs Cup after finishing the —70 First Division in 4th, but were banned from entering the competition for financial irregularities. The club then declined rapidly and has not appeared in the top European competitions since, though it finished in 5th in the First Division which would have guaranteed entry into the —90 UEFA Cup had English Clubs not been banned from Europe following the Heysel Stadium Disaster. Outside of major competition, the club competed in the Anglo-Italian Cup between —93 and —95 , reaching the final in , losing 3—1 to Cremonese at Wembley.

Kevin Hector holds the record for Derby County appearances in all competitions, appearing times in two separate spells with the club between and He sits ahead of Ron Webster , who played times for the club, often in the same team as Hector. Just counting league appearances, Hector is again in the lead with appearances, ahead of Jack Parry, who played times for the club between and The club's all-time top goalscorer is Steve Bloomer , often referred to as "Football's First Superstar", who netted goals for the club in two spells between and He is over goals ahead of second in the list Kevin Hector, who netted goals for the club.

Jack Bowers holds the club record for most goals in a single season, when he scored 43 goals 35 in the league and a further 8 in the FA Cup , during the —33 season. The club's record attendance is 41,, for a First Division match against Tottenham Hotspur at the Baseball Ground on 20 September , which Derby won 5—0. The record is unlikely to be broken in the near future as Derby's current stadium, Pride Park Stadium, has a limit of 33, spectators. Derby's historically poor —08 Premier League campaign saw the club set and equal several unwanted records in English football.

The club equaled Loughborough's all-time league record of just one win in an entire league season. They also equaled or set several Premier League records —present , including fewest home wins in a season 1, joint with Sunderland , fewest away wins in a season 0, joint with five other clubs , and most defeats in a season Derby also own the record for most lopsided defeat in an FA Cup final, a 6—0 loss to Bury in the final.
