Clubs from the leagues immediately below the Football League had no realistic chance of playing in a Wembley Final before the FA Council decided to start an ‘FA Challenge Trophy’ competition in 1969. It was open to all non-Football League clubs registering professional players.
Macclesfield Town, then Northern Premier League champions, were the first Trophy winners and 28,000 saw them beat Telford United 2-0 at Wembley. Their second goal was scored by Brian Fidler, whose trademark was a goal celebration that involved running round most of the pitch. As well as Wembley Stadium, five Finals have been staged at Villa Park and one at Upton Park.
Scarborough, Telford United and Woking lead the way with three Trophy wins each. Another 10 clubs have won it twice – Altrincham, Barrow, Enfield, Grays Athletic, Kingstonian, Macclesfield Town, Stafford Rangers, Stevenage Borough, Wycombe Wanderers and York City.
In 2015-16 Wembley Stadium staged the first Non-League Finals day, which saw both the Vase and the Trophy decided back-to-back in front of almost 47,000 fans. Halifax Town triumphed in their first visit to the national stadium, beating Grimsby Town 1-0 with Scott McManus on target.
