The '''1923 FA Cup Final''', often referred to as '''The White Horse Final''', took place on 28 April 1923 and was contested between [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] and [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. The showpiece match of English [[association football|football]]'s primary cup competition, the [[FA Cup]], it was the first football match to be played at the newly-built [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]] in [[London]]. Bolton had appeared in the final once before, in 1894, but West Ham, who had only joined [[the Football League]] in 1919, had never previously progressed further than the quarter-finals.

The match was preceded by chaotic scenes as vast crowds surged into the stadium, far exceeding its official capacity of approximately 125,000. Eventually at least 200,000 fans gained entrance and the terraces overflowed, leading to spectators standing around the perimeter of the pitch and even finding their way onto the playing area itself. Mounted policemen, including one on a white horse which became the defining image of the day, had to be brought in to clear the crowds from the pitch in order to allow the match to take place. Bolton eventually won the match 2&ndash;0, with an early goal from [[David Jack]] followed by a second from [[Jack Smith (Scottish footballer)|Jack Smith]].

==Match summary==
===Build-up===
[[Image:White Horse Final1923.jpg|right|thumb|The crowd was so large that fans swarmed right up to, and even onto, the pitch.]]
The match was the first event of any kind to take place at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]], and anticipation was high prior to the match. The lure of the new [[national stadium]], which had been advertised as the greatest venue of its kind and had an unprecedented capacity of 125,000, drew large numbers of casual observers, and the fact that a [[London]]-based team was competing led to large numbers of local fans flocking to the stadium. Other factors which contributed to the enormous crowd included the fine weather and the easy accessibility of the stadium by public transport.<ref name="Times">{{cite news|url=http://archive.timesonline.co.uk/tol/viewArticle.arc?articleId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1923-04-30-06-001&pageId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1923-04-30-06|title=The F.A. Cup - Bolton's Victory - Record Crowds|work=The Times|date=1923-05-30|accessdate=2008-10-13}}</ref>

The gates were opened at 11.30am as advertised, three and a half hours before the match was due to begin, and until 1.00pm the flow of people into the stadium was orderly. By 1.00pm, however, vast numbers of people were pouring into the stadium, and after an inspection by the stadium authorities, the decision was made to close the gates at 1.45pm. Although the information was relayed to various railway stations, thousands of people continued to arrive and mass outside the gates. Organisation within the stadium was chaotic, with the tiers in the lower half of the stadium filling up much faster than those higher up. At 2.15pm the crowds remaining outside rushed the barriers and forced their way in. Specatators in the lower tiers were forced to climb fences to escape the crush and overflowed onto the pitch itself.<ref name="Times2">{{cite news|url=http://archive.timesonline.co.uk/tol/viewArticle.arc?articleId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1923-04-30-12-008&pageId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1923-04-30-12|title=Cup Final Scenes - Gates Rushed By Late-Comers - Good-Humoured Crowds|work=The Times|date=1923-05-30|accessdate=2008-10-13}}</ref> Estimates of the actual number of fans in attendance range from 240,000<ref>{{cite book | last=Bateson|first=Bill|coauthors=Albert Sewell | title=News of the World Football Annual 1992/93| publisher=Harper Collins | year=1992| id=ISBN 0-85543-188-1|pages=p.tbc}}</ref> to over 300,000.<ref name="Times" /><ref>{{cite book |last= Matthews|first= Tony|authorlink= |coauthors= |title= Football Firsts|year= 2006|publisher= Capella|location= |id= ISBN 1-8419-3451-8|pages=p.tbc}} </ref> It is estimated that another 60,000 were locked outside the gates. The FA were forced to refund 10% of the total gate money to fans unable to reach their seats. Had [[George V of the United Kingdom|King George V]] not been in attendance, it is likely the match would have been abandoned altogether.<ref name="Times "/>

[[Image:whitehorse.jpg|thumb|right|"Billie" the white horse, saviour of the 1923 FA Cup final.]]
It fell to [[mounted police]]men, among them P.C. George Scorey on his giant [[horse]] Billie, to try to clear the crowds from the pitch. P.C. Storey had not actually been on duty that day but answered a call for emergency assistance as the throng in the stadium grew.<ref name="TBF">{{cite book |last= Holt|first= Nick|authorlink= |coauthors= Guy Lloyd|title= Total British Football|year= 2006|publisher= Flame Tree|location= |id= ISBN 1-8445-1403-X|pages=p.tbc}} </ref>

Billie the horse was actually [[grey]] but appeared white in the primitive black and white newsreel footage of the era. Although a number of other horses were also involved, the "white" horse became legendary as the most visible in the news footage. In [[2005]], a public poll chose that the new footbridge near the rebuilt Wembley Stadium would be named the [[White Horse Bridge]], in honour of Billie the White Horse.

===Match===
Eventually the police, assisted by appeals for calm from the players, were able to manoeuvre the crowds to just beyond the touchline, and the game went ahead approximately 45 minutes late with fans standing around the perimeter of the pitch.<ref name="Times" /> At one point West Ham defender Jack Tressdern became entangled in the crowd after taking a throw-in and was unable to return to the pitch in time to prevent Bolton's [[David Jack]] shooting for goal. Jack's shot hit a spectator who was standing pressed against the goal net, and knocked him unconscious. <ref name="TBF" /> Bolton eventually won the match 2-0 to claim the Cup.

Description

This is the cover art for Jibbs Featuring Jibbs by the artist Jibbs. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist(s).

Derived from a digital capture of the album cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

Article

Jibbs Featuring Jibbs

Portion used

The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.

Replaceable?

As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Other information

Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above.
