Perhaps a clue as to which bit is interesting? That they beat Arsenal 1-0 at Wembley. The final was the first to be broadcast by the BBC. That they beat the Scottish club's record , Queen's Park, by winning it. Queen's Park reached the final twice in 1884 and 1885 losing on both occasions to Blackburn Rovers. Or was it the fact that the goal was credited to Len Davies when in fact Hughie Ferguson scored it. From http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:kBrtKK9jJqcC:www.currybeast.com/bluebirds/the.htm+cardiff+'fa+cup'1927 and hl=en and lr=lang_en and ie=UTF-8 A moments indecision changed football's history. Ernie recalls ' I was in line with the edge of the penalty area on the right when Hughie Ferguson hit the shot which Arsenal's goalie ( Welshman Dan Lewis ) had crouched down for a little early. The ball spun as it traveled towards him, having taken a slight deflection so he was now slightly out of line with it. Len Davies was following the shot in and I think Dan must have had one eye on him. The result was that he didn't take it cleanly and it squirmed under him and over the line. Len jumped over him and into the net , but never actually touched it'. Jan 23 03, 12:09 PM
