1894 FA Cup final

The 1894 FA Cup final was an association football match between Notts County and Bolton Wanderers at Goodison Park, Liverpool, on 31 March 1894. It was the final match of the 1893–94 edition of the FA Cup, English football's primary cup competition. Bolton Wanderers were appearing in their first final, whereas Notts County were playing in their second, having lost on their previous appearance in 1891. Both clubs were therefore seeking to win the FA Cup for the first time. The two teams had each needed to win four ties to reach the final, with Bolton Wanderers winning all of theirs at the first attempt, and Notts County requiring a replay to progress from the third round.

Jimmy Turner of Bolton Wanderers was forced by injury to withdraw from his team on the day of the match, whereas Notts County had no injury concerns. Watched by 37,000 spectators, and refereed by Charles Hughes of Cheshire, Notts County led 2–0 at half time through goals from Arthur Watson and Jimmy Logan. In the second half, Logan would score two more, and Notts County won the match 4–1. Logan's feat of scoring three goals made him the second of three men to score a hat-trick in an FA Cup final, and the match was dubbed "Logan's final" by members of the press.

At the time of the match, Notts County were members of the Football League Second Division. By winning the final, they became the first club to win the FA Cup while playing below the highest level the English football league system, a feat accomplished only eight times. It remains Notts County's only FA Cup triumph, and they have never returned to the final. Logan died two years after the match, his pauper's grave left unmarked until 2016, when Notts County supporters located it and raised funds to erect a headstone.
