Wanderers FC
5 Little Tin Idols (Art Print)

Before the FA Cup became a tradition, it was an idea.

London. 1871.

Charles W. Alcock proposes a new competition.

A challenge cup open to the clubs of the Football Association.

The following year, his own club — Wanderers FC — walk onto the pitch at Kennington Oval for the first FA Cup final.

They win 1–0.

The oldest great competition in football had its first champion.

THE GOALSOUL INTERPRETATION

Wanderers belong to football's pioneering age.

Originally founded as Forest Football Club in 1859, they became Wanderers in 1864 and helped shape the emerging organised game.

Alcock was central to it all — player, administrator, advocate of the passing game and the man who proposed the competition that became the FA Cup.

Wanderers went on to win it five times between 1872 and 1878.

Five trophies from football's formative years.

Five little tin idols.

Alcock's original proposal was beautifully simple:

“It is desirable that a Challenge Cup should be established in connection with the Association.”

More than 150 years later, we're still playing for it.

One idea.
Five cups.
A piece of football history.
