Bolton 1923 FA Cup Final
The FA Cup Final of 1923, commonly known as The White Horse Final was the first football match to be played at the new Wembley Stadium. The game featured West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers, and such was the eagerness of fans and casual observers to attend the final at the new national stadium that vast numbers of people crammed into the stadium, far exceeding its official 127,000 capacity. The crowds overflowed onto the pitch as there was no room on the terraces. The number of fans in attendance is generally estimated at 240,000 with a further 60,000 locked outside. It fell to mounted policemen, among them P.C. George Scorey on his giant horse Billie, to try to clear the crowds from the pitch.Eventually the police were able to manoeuvre the crowds to just beyond the touchline, and the game went ahead approximately 45 minutes late with fans standing around the perimeter of the pitch. Bolton eventually won the match 2-0 with goals from David Jack and Jack Smith. This shirt is long sleeved and made from 100% Cotton.
