In the 1921 FA Cup Final, held at Stamford Bridge, Second Division Wolves were beaten one - nil by Spurs.


London Wolves have recently acquired this Wolves shirt reported to be worn in that final but not verified.  Obviously men were smaller then as shown by the comparison with a more recent away shirt as worn by a WWLSC leading light!


 The shirt does show that the design had changed little since the 1908 final, when Wolves - again in the second division - beat strong favourites Newcastle United at Crystal Palace.  This postcard is on display in the Wolves Trophy Room at Molineux, which you can see on the Stadium Tours.



and the 1896-1910 cup, which was sold at auction for £478,000 (20th May 2005) after being given to Lord Kinnaird, FA President, when Manchester United made a replica and the FA realised they didn’t have the copyright is pictured in the postcard and here
