ON THIS DAY - February 18

We played a team from every UK country in the FA Cup
On this day in 1922 we lost an FA Cup tie 4-1 away at Cardiff City. The defeat wasn't significant, but a game against a Welsh club meant that we had now played an FA Cup game against teams from England, Scotland (Queens Park), Northern Ireland (Linfield) and now Wales, and are still the only club that have managed that feat.
