Five Footballers Of

The Year Appeared In The Same Cup Final

By “ALL-ROUNDER”

It is a strange fact that five of the seven players who have been awarded the title of "The Footballer of the Year" since the statuettes were started in 1948 have appeared in the same season's Cup Final--and four of the five have finished on the losing side

The exception was Joe Mercer, who led Arsenal to victory against Liverpool in 1950. The unlucky ones were Stanley Matthews, Harry Johnston, Tom Finney and Nat Lofthouse. Other statuette winners have been Johnny Carey and Billy Wright.
