    When and where was the current FA Cup made, and who won it in that year (I believe it is the second one, after the first one was stolen) ?

    Question #21702. Asked by Nelly. (Aug 22 02 4:30 PM)

    The original FA Cup, which was first competed for in 1872, was stolen from a shop in Birmingham in 1895 whilst held by Aston Villa. It was never recovered. The second Cup, which was a replica of the original, was in use from 1896 until 1910 when it was presented to Lord Kinnaird on completing 21 years as FA President. A new Cup came into use in 1911 and this remained as the trophy until 1991 when it was retired after 80 years service. It is still used for promotional work. The latest FA Cup, first presented at Wembley in 1992, is a replica of the 1911 model. I do not know where the current model was made but its 1911 predecessor was made in Bradford, Yorkshire.

    Made in Bradford by Fattorini and Sons in 1911. First winners were Bradford City. The current cup is the third - the first was stolen in 1895 from a Birmingham shop window, the second cup was presented to Lord Kinnaird in 1910 after 21 years service as president. But the FA were also concerned that the design of the cup they had been using had not been copyrighted and they needed a new copyrighted design.
