He didn't actually take the job as his wife was ill in a London Hospital at this time. Ted Goodier was finally appointed in June 1952. It was 1923 that he scored in the first Wembley final by the way.

Ron/AH: There's a colourised 'still' of the 1923 FA Cup Final, at Wembley Stadium, which shows the crowd having overflowed onto the pitch.
