The First 25 FA Cups | 1871–1896 | Football History | Black Screen ASMR | Relax | Sleep

This is an AI generated voice, but the facts are real and it's a story a lot of people want to hear. I was considering using my own voice, but I sound like a cross between Chris Sutton and Jethro with the squeakiness of Stuart Pearce, so AI got the job. There may be some ads on this one — I'm under 1,000 subscribers so I can't control them yet. The more subscribers we have, the more we can remove them. A donation to the Bovril Fund also helps. In the first episode of our journey through every FA Cup ever played, we cover the opening 25 competitions — from the very first final in 1872 right through to 1896. This is the story of how football was taken from the drawing rooms of the English establishment and handed, decisively and permanently, to the working people of the industrial north. We go from 2,000 spectators at a cricket ground in Kennington to nearly 50,000 at Crystal Palace. From wandering gentlemen amateurs to the Invincible Preston North End. From the little tin idol to the birth of the professional game. Along the way we meet Arthur Kinnaird — who played in nine FA Cup Finals — the Blackburn clubs who dominated a decade, Queen's Park of Glasgow who came agonisingly close twice, and the extraordinary men who turned a modest knockout competition into the greatest domestic cup competition in the history of football. This is not just football history. This is Victorian England working itself out on a football pitch.
