I will start with a statement and you have to come up with a connection to it, as does the next person and so on.
Huddersfield Town won the FA Cup in 1922.
That could be followed by ...
The British Prime Minister in 1922 was David Lloyd George and Charlie George scored a goal for Arsenal in the 1971 FA Cup final.
So now you have to come up with any connection to that statement and bring it back round to the FA Cup.

Arsenal's opponents in that match were Liverpool who had Emlyn Hughes in their line up. He went on to be a captain on Question of Sport.

The White Horse pub in Leeds Road, Huddersfield has been renamed Yorkshire Sports Bar. Hopefully, as a sports bar, they will be showing live football on big screens, one of which this weekend could be the Arsenal v Hull City match which is a repeat of the 2014 final which Arsenal won 3-2.
