It took 113 years of the competition until the first such occurrence.

We have a tricky football quiz for you, today, that may test you to your limits.

We want you to give us the names of all SIX players that have been sent off in an FA Cup Final, and we are giving you just THREE minutes to get the job done.

The competition started in the 1871/72 season, but it was not until 1985 when the first red card was shown in a final.

It was another 20 years before a second red card was shown in a final. Business picked after that, with further players sent off in 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2020.

Good luck with this one. Get the easy ones done first, then concentrate on that tricky last one, or two!

On the first man to ever be sent off in an FA Cup final [Spoiler Alert!], the former Manchester United star spoke about the incident, back in 1995.

“It was a shock, a terrible shock,” said Kevin Moran. “I’d gone for the ball, not the man, you can see on the television replays that I kept my foot down. I almost got there, too, but as I followed through my body caught Peter and he was knocked into the air, which made it look far worse than it was.”
