FA CUP 1882-1883

El Blackburn Olympic, que había eliminado al equipo galés Druids Ruabon (4:1) en cuartos de final y al Old Carthusians (4:0) en semifinales, se enfrentó al último representante del sur en la final. El experimentado finalista Old Etonians consiguió llevar el partido a la prórroga, pero en ésta fue derrotado con un gol de James Costly. Era la primera vez que la Copa FA era ganada por un equipo de Lancashire, cuyo mejor jugador fue ”Jack” Hunter (1852-10.4.1903), un escocés técnicamente bueno y potente
