FA Cup 1994-95

The FA Cup 1994-95 was the 114th staging of the world's oldest cup competition, the Football Association Cup or FA Cup. The competition was won by Everton, with a shock victory over Manchester United, who were strong favourites to add to the previous year's trophy but were beaten 1-0. This tournament was the 50th to be officially held since World War Two (Wembley finals did not take place during the war). The winning manager, Joe Royle was notable for the fact that he would be the last English manager to lift the FA Cup up to and including the 2008 final, when Harry Redknapp broke this run.
