    10 English men and 1 Scot. I daresay most of those 10 were born and bred Yorkshiremen. How times have changed. In this day and age, most of them would have been poached by Man Citys academy.

    I wish this bit was true of our current defence...

    The team developed a dourness to their defensive play that was built to give the opposition nothing and in the years 1910 to 1912 they became the finely tuned, footballing machine that would grind out results with the minimum attacking intent.

    Nah, the fans would call for the manager to be sacked cos the football was a snooze-fest. Another reason we will never be successful again.

    Now the replays have been ditched, we will now forever hold the honour of being the team that played the most games to actually lift the cup.

    Just read the account and whilst I’ve read similar things many times before, on this occasion I find my contact lenses are making my eyes water.

    In fact, only two of them were born and bred Yorkshiremen.

    Phil Bratley was born in Rawmarsh and George Utley in Elsecar.

    1912 ehh... Err maybe we won it by playing some good attacking football, and scoring more goals than the opposition team lol.
    And not just selling everything and every body, cheaply!.
