Non contentious football riddle to start the week peacefully 07:31 - Jul 19 with 648 viewsWeWereZombies

On 23rd April, 1927 Cardiff City won the F A Cup and took the trophy out of England for the first and, to date, only time. However, one other team from outside England has contested an F A Cup final. Who are they?

Poll: Luton or Dubai ?

Factors has a distinct advantage over anyone else to answer this…

I’m pretty sure it’s a Scottish side - someone like Queens Park, or Stirling Albion?

The FA Cup, has of course, been won outside of England several times.

That was going to be my clue if the question was too tough, but CHealyIsAPleasure has proved that this was far too easy, no one even offered Swansea as a tentative answer.

I used to run a monthly quiz for our village boys football club and one question was which team entered the FA Cup competition one year, never lost but never won the cup?

The answer was Queens Park again because they drew the semi-final and could not afford to return the next week to play the replay. They are a club with perhaps more history than any other.

Another question that caught many out was - who won the cup three times in the 80's and it was Blackburn Rovers in the 1880's and one side they beat was Queens Park. The side to win the cup after Blackburn Rovers was Blackburn Olympic, the only professional side to win the cup and not be in existence now

Would Bury not count as professionals who won the Cup, and now no longer exist?

According to this website Bury F.C. turned professional in 1885, fifteen years before they won the F A Cup (they beat Southampton, who were in the Southern League at the time, and the Bury players each received a whopping ten pound win bonus.)

So, by extension, MK Dons took over the Wimbledon F.C. franchise but were not professional (founded 2004, won cup in 1988...) at the time they won the F A Cup. I'm prepared to accept that on the grounds that MK Dons have won the cup and Nodge haven't.

I think we can, as A.F.C. Wimbledon are their spiritual successors and indeed now retain the replica F.A. Cup handed back to them by M.K. Dons.
