FA Cup Final Suits

Sartorial Madness

The FA Cup carries with it many excitements – the crazed fans, the mad celebrations, the tense last-minute goals, not forgetting the excuse to spend the entire day in the pub. For us though, there’s one thing that interests us more than any other – the FA Cup Final suits. As the players walk nonchalantly out on to the hallowed Wembley turf to inspect it, all eyes are on what attire these multi-million pound clubs have selected for their special day. And for all their designer advisors, bags of money and trendy high street WAGs, so many teams get it very, very wrong.

To prove this point, we wade through FA Cup suit history, picking out the 10 biggest howlers. From Burnley’s hat-based ensemble of 1914 to Liverpool’s Del Monte-style shockers in 1996, right up to Man Utd’s jacket malfunctioning disaster in 2007.

Sunglasses on, chaps. Here is the definite proof that money can't buy you class.
