The 1922 FA Cup final was contested by Huddersfield Town and Preston North End at Stamford Bridge. Huddersfield won by a single goal, a penalty scored by Billy Smith.
Overview
This was the last final before the opening of Wembley Stadium, and was also Huddersfield's first and only FA Cup triumph.[1] Preston goalkeeper James Mitchell was the first (and only) player ever to wear spectacles in an FA Cup Final.[2][3]
This was the first final to be decided by a penalty kick and the award of it was controversial, confirmed by newsreel footage, that the foul had occurred outside the penalty area.[4]
