Friday 26 April marks 100 years since Newcastle United won the FA Cup. Beating Aston Villa 2-0 at the Empire Stadium Wembley, which had been open just a year.
Newcastle’s goalkeeper that day was William Bradley. Remarkably he was the club’s No.2 goalkeeper at the time and only received confirmation he would be playing the season’s showpiece fixture on the morning of the game itself.
Fast-forward a few hours, and he was stood on the hallowed turf shaking hands with King George VI (pictured below).
