1946 FA Cup Final
Encyclopedia
The 1946 FA Cup Final, the first since the start of the Second World War
, was contested by Derby County
and Charlton Athletic
at Wembley. Derby won 4–1 after extra time, with goals from Bert Turner
(an own goal
), Peter Doherty
and a double from Jackie Stamps
.
and a Charlton defender jumped up to head a centre from the right. As the ball was nodded out it went straight to Dally Duncan
, who shot goalwards. Bert Turner
tried to kick the ball clear, but only managed to turn the ball into his own net. In the next minute Turner scored for his own side when he took a free-kick from the edge of the Rams’ penalty area, and although goalkeeper Vic Woodley
appeared to have the shot well covered, the ball struck a Derby player and was deflected past Woodley into the opposite corner of the net to which he was diving.
Turner thus became the first player to score for both sides in an FA Cup Final, a feat subsequently repeated by Tommy Hutchison
in 1981
and Gary Mabbutt
in 1987
. At the age of 36 years 312 days, Turner also became the oldest player to score in an FA Cup Final.
The match finished level after 90 minutes, but in extra time Derby County scored three goals to win the match 4–1.
When Stamps shot for goal in the closing minutes of normal time, the ball burst en-route. Stamps went on to score twice with the new ball as Derby beat Charlton Athletic 4-1. A week earlier, when the same sides had met in the League, the match ball had also burst.
