The first winners were Wanderers FC, an amateur team based in London, in 1872. They were called ‘Wanderers’ as they did not have a home field. They beat Royal Engineers, with their goal being scored by AH Chequer. It was later revealed that AH Chequer was actually Morton Betts, a player for the Harrow Chequers. Their FA Cup winners odds for the final are unknown, and anyway at the time betting on football was illegal.
