It took place on 27 April 1946 at Wembley Stadium and was contested between Derby County and Charlton Athletic. Derby won the match 4–1 after extra time. Charlton's Bert Turner scored an own goal and then scored for his own team, thus becoming the first player to score for both sides in an FA Cup Final. Goals from Peter Doherty and Jackie Stamps (2) in the extra-time period gave Derby their first, and so far only, FA Cup triumph. Background The game was the first FA Cup final to be played in seven years, due to World War II. Among the spectators were The King and The Queen. Demand for tickets was reported as being unprecedented, with ticket sales reaching around £45,000. Each team included both youthful and experienced players.https://www.newspapers.com/article/western-morning-news/137844536/ Western Morning News Wembley Clash: First F.A. Cup Final for seven years 6 27 April 1946 Match summary The game was goalless until the 85th minute, when a cross from the right was punched out by goalkeeper Sam Bartram, but it went straight to Dally Duncan who shot goalwards; Bert Turner tried to kick the ball clear, but only managed to deflect the ball into his own net.

Turner thus became the first player to score for both sides in an FA Cup Final, subsequently repeated by Tommy Hutchison in 1981 and Gary Mabbutt in 1987.

Due to a shortage of gold following the Second World War, the two teams were initially presented with bronze medals (winners and runners-up) on the day, and subsequently awarded the proper gold versions when gold became more readily available later that year.http://tickets.cafc.co.uk/newsview.ink?nid=21074&newstype=d Charlton Athletic official site 31 January 2012 https://archive.today/20120718050911/http://tickets.cafc.co.uk/newsview.ink?nid=21074&newstype=d 18 July 2012 dead dmy-all http://www.rochesterpeople.co.uk/local-people/Les-played-1946-FA-Cup-final/story-10125678-detail/story.html Rochester People Les played in 1946 FA Cup final 31 January 2012 https://archive.today/20120915054817/http://www.rochesterpeople.co.uk/local-people/Les-played-1946-FA-Cup-final/story-10125678-detail/story.html 15 September 2012 dead dmy-all The last surviving player from the game, Derby's Reg Harrison, died on 17 September 2020.https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2020/09/reg-harrison-rip Reg Harrison dies aged 97 Derby County Football Club September 2020 Match details 27 April 1946 15:00 BST Derby County 4–1 yes Charlton Athletic (Report) B.
