Back in the 1930s, Downing Street was an accessible London avenue and on the day of the 1933 FA Cup final, the Lancashire Evening Post reported that an Everton fan had strolled unimpeded up to No 10 and hung a horseshoe on the door knocker.
Whether it was an inspiration is unknown, but Everton beat Manchester City 3-0.
It was Everton’s first Cup triumph since 1906, so their first at Wembley stadium. It was the first match at Wembley since the previous final. In the crowd were the touring West Indies cricket team.
