What year was this? 2 Which UK football club won the F.A. cup but never scored a goal? 3 There are 365 days in a year, 52 weeks in a year, 12 months in a year, and 7 days in a week. 7 * 52 =364. What happened to the other day?

It is NOT an uncommon stamp, nor is it particularly expensive- about US $80 will get you a decent copy. 2) Will leave this to someone that follows the sport. 3) There are ROUGHLY 52 weeks in a year. Check this year's calendar- the first day was a Monday, and so is the last day, therefore there are 52 weeks plus one day. _________________________ The key to everything is patience.

Cardiff City win the 1927 FA Cup with an own goal by the Arsenal keeper. This was the first (and so far only) time the FA Cup was won by a team outside England. Quote: The 1927 FA cup final proved to be a triumph for Cardiff City FC. The crucial moment in the match came in the 75th minute as a throw in from Cardiff City captain, Fred Keenor gave the ball to Hugh Ferguson, who shot weakly along the ground from twenty yards out. Danny Lewis, in the Arsenal goal, went down on his knees and gathered the ball safely. However, as Lewis turned away to avoid Ferguson’s follow up, the ball slipped from his grasp. He spun round to retrieve it, however only succeeded in knocking it goal wards with his elbow. Time seemed to stand still as the ball trickled towards, and eventually over, the line. It was the only goal of the final. http://www.cardiffcityfcyears.com/great%20goals/index.html
