The 1923 FA Cup Final was an association football match between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United on 28 April, the first to be played at the original Wembley Stadium in London. This Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup), the showpiece match of English football's primary cup competition, drew a chaotic crowd of up to 300,000, far exceeding the stadium's official capacity of around 125,000. Mounted policemen, including one on a light-coloured horse (pictured) that became the defining image of the day, had to be brought in to clear the crowds from the pitch. (The match is still referred to as the "White Horse Final".) Although West Ham started strongly, Bolton proved the dominant team for most of the match and won 2–0. David Jack scored a goal two minutes after the start of the match and Jack Smith added a controversial second goal during the second half. The pre-match events prompted discussion in the House of Commons and led to the introduction of safety measures for future finals.
