The 1935 FA Charity Shield was the 22nd
Arsenal were making their fifth appearance out of six Charity Shields,[2] and they had won the previous four in which they had played, including a 2–1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the 1930 final.[3] Sheffield Wednesday were making their second and as of 2016 most recent appearance in the competition.[4]
The match was criticized as a poor game[1] in which Arsenal under-performed.[2] Wednesday were praised for their direct attacking play and solid defending.[2] The only goal of the game was scored by Neil Dewar, after Arsenal failed to clear the ball at a corner.[1][2] The second half of the match was broadcast with live commentary by George Allison – who was also the Arsenal manager – on the BBC's Regional radio station.[5]
