Football administrator Charles W. Alcock
Charles W. Alcock played in the first FA Cup final. He had first proposed the creation of the tournament in 1871.

Wanderers F.C. was an English association football club based in London.[1] Comprising mainly former pupils of the leading English public schools, the club was among the most dominant of the early years of organised football[a] and won the FA Cup, the sport's first formal competition, five times between 1872 and 1878.[1][2] A total of 33 players took the field for Wanderers in their cup final appearances, including several of the most prominent players of the sport's early years. The club's fortunes declined rapidly after its final FA Cup win in 1878, partly because many of its leading players opted to play instead for teams set up specifically for the former pupils of individual schools; by the mid-1880s the Wanderers club had ceased to play matches.[1][3]

The club was among the 15 entrants to the

knock-out tournament for its member clubs in 1871.[7][8] A year later, Wanderers received a bye straight to the final, in keeping with the original concept of the FA Cup as a "challenge tournament" in which other clubs would compete for the right to face the cup-holders in the final; this rule was abandoned after one season.[4] In the 1873 final, Arthur Kinnaird played in the first of a record-setting nine FA Cup finals.[9] He was on the winning team in five finals, a record which he would hold jointly until 2010.[10] Kinnaird (later the 11th Lord Kinnaird) was regarded as one of the pre-eminent sportsmen of his era, and later went on serve as president of the FA for more than 30 years.[9] William Kenyon-Slaney also played in the 1873 final; days earlier he had become the first player to score a goal for England in an international match now regarded as official.[b][11]

Wanderers next appeared in the final in

Queen's Counsel.[20]

Footnotes

a. ^ Developing out of earlier related ball games with varying, often informal, rules, the sport of association football was officially codified for the first time in 1863.[8][52]
b. ^ Kenyon-Slaney scored in what is now regarded as the second official international football match, the first in 1872 having ended 0–0. Five earlier matches had taken place between terms representing England and Scotland, but these are not now regarded as official international matches as the Scotland team was selected only from players with Scottish connections resident in and around London.[53]
c.

1878 final which is credited to him in modern sources but for which contemporary newspaper reports do not definitively identify the scorer.[54]
