The Football Association Challenge Cup

Today Awa and myself went to our local ASDA superstore because the FA Cup is coming to our town for the photo sessions with the locals. The FA Cup is the oldest association football competition in the world (The first one was held in 1871-1872). However, the current trophy is the fourth trophy in use since the first one got stolen (and melted by the thief), the second got auctioned in 1911 and the third is now too fragile to be used again. I guess the next time I'll be seeing this trophy again will be in the Manchester United's trophy cabinet.
