Cardiff had won promotion to the First Division shortly after the war, they had only been beaten for the Championship by Huddersfield on goal average in 1924, and now they were playing in their first FA Cup Final. Their clash with Sheffield United at Wembley in 1925 was a meeting of old masters and new hopefuls!

Not for the first time in a Wembley Final a mistake cost one team the match. A quarter of an hour before half‑time, Pantling, Sheffield's right half, hit a long, swinging pass out to the left. Tunstall, the new England outside‑left, moved towards the ball as it dropped, trapped it and went on to pick his spot in the Cardiff net. Cardiff right‑half Wake could probably have cut out the pass to Tunstall, but, fatally, he hesitated and Tunstall was through to score.

It was a terrific blow to the Welsh team, and, though Blair, Hardy and Keenor continued to play above themselves, Cardiff were unable to reproduce any of the brilliant football that had recently brought them into the limelight. Sheffield, led by the supreme strategy of Gillespie at inside‑left, deservedly won the Cup for the fourth time in their history. Cardiff's chance was to come two years later.
