Talk:1895 FA Cup final

Goalscorer
The article credits the goal to Bob Chatt, as does the linked page at www.sportingchronicle.com. The match report in the other linked page says that the ball "was diverted by goalkeeper Reader or by a defender on the line, to Devey who scored. Most people in the ground had been prepared to credit Chatt with the goal, but Devey is now thought to have got the final, perhaps involuntary touch".

This is supported by Gibbons in his History of Victorian Football. He says "Bob Chatt shot towards the West Bromwich goal. Joe Reader managed to half-save the goal attempt, but John Devey scrambled the loose ball over the goal line to secure a one-goal lead for Villa".

Can anyone clarify this from other sources? Cheers. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

"Villa scored the game's only goal after 39 seconds. Chatt appeared to be the scorer, but after the game, the Villa players confirmed that John Devey had netted after Chatt's shot had been blocked straight into the latter's path and had ricocheted off his knee."

My book supports the other books then. I will add some more info from my book, when I can, to the article. Hope this helps. Woody (talk) 11:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
