Indeed, it was not until the late 1900’s that the football authorities took some interest in FA Cup Final programmes, having previously stood back while outside publishers “sponsored” matchday issues. A number of 19th century Cup Final programmes were published by “The People” newspaper. Printed locally, these Crystal Palace issues comprised a folded sheet with advertisements on one side, the People being prominent amongst sports outfitters; and team lines and more advertisements on the reverse. They were sold as “The only authorised programme” and so few have survived that they now fetch five-figure sums at auction. Some doubts as to the “only authorised” issue status of these programmes have been raised by the existence of another version of a 1901 Cup Final teamsheet. An “Official Programme” for the Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield United match, in the shape of a 7” x 5” blue card, has survived. This version is devoid of advertisements, and one wonders if it was purely distributed to VIPs, as opposed to being on public sale. The teamsheet for the 1904 “English Cup Tie” between Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers listed the players in two columns, and numbered them (1 to 22), reintroducing the original concept of a match programme - the identification of players by spectators. Curiously, the reverse side displayed the same names, and numbers, in 2-3-5 formation, along with the note: “Any alteration taking place in the Players’ Names, a board will be sent round the Ground corresponding with numbers on card.” It must have been a particularly large board to be seen by everyone in the 61,300 crowd at the old Crystal Palace ground. When Newcastle United played Bradford City at the Crystal Palace in the 1911 Final, W.H. Smith & Sons issued a “Souvenir Card” priced 1d. Colin Veitch of Newcastle United was photographed on the front cover of this large folded sheet, with the team lines (un-numbered, in 2-3-5 formation) on the inside pages along with advertisements for “The Yorkshire Evening Post Football Edition ; containing full report of the Cup Final, will be on sale to-night at King’s Cross, St Pancras, Marylebone and Euston stations on the departure of special trains for the North.” The refusal of the Football Association to become involved in programme production has not helped in resolving this unofficial/official debate nearly a century later. Similarly, programmes for representative and International fixtures were left to the host club. It was not until the Cup Final moved to Stamford Bridge in 1920 that a single, definitive football programme began to be published for the FA Cup Final.
