Newcastle had been deprived of the League and Cup double in 1905 by Aston Villa, and in the following year they reached the Final again, only to fail once more, this time to Everton.

The second edition of the 'team of all the talents' had a quality about their football which didn't augur well for Everton's chances. But the match was a dull one. The one outstanding player on the field. Sharp on Everton's right wing, set up the only goal of the afternoon. Veteran Taylor passed the ball out to him with fifteen minutes to go, he dashed past Carr. New­castle's left-back, and Young, Everton's Scottish international centre-forward, glided his neat, low centre past Lawrence.

It was third time lucky for Everton, and their good fortune was to catch Newcastle on their least favourite ground, at Crystal Palace. The football, in fact, was no more than a lottery, and the only satisfying feature of the game was that the worst side lost. It was disappointing enough for Newcastle, losing finalists for the second year running, but this was nothing compared to the shock of losing at home in the first round the next season - to Crystal Palace of all teams, lying near the foot of the Southern League.
