Wanderers. The first winners of the FA Cup in 1872. They beat Royal Engineers by a goal to nil to etch their name in footballing folklore.

The following picture comes from before the 1972 final at Wembley where there was a pageant. All the teams that had won the FA Cup up to that point were represented. Including Wanderers in their fetching hooped kit (I must say it looks rather too large for a lot of the 'players')

The Carlisle United football squad, 1969/1970 season. Long before Jimmy Glass, long before the Cumbrians fleeting 15 minutes of fame on top of the first division and long before all squad photos were taken on the pitch.
